"Literally every single word the President said was wrong... We have enormous anxiety among voters. The cost of living is rising, and people are understandably upset. I just want to be crystal clear there's not a word coming out of the man's mouth that is correct."

According to FPI (imperfect, but it considers wins, points, and competition) the #Eagles have the ninth best offense in football. Sounds bad, right? But last year, the Eagles were ranked the sixth best in the NFL. In 2023, they were eighth. In 2022, they were second.

#Eagles fans need to chill.

Of the ten teams with toughest schedules, the Birds are the only team with seven wins.

They've faced six of the NFL’s best defenses: DEN, KC, LAR, MIN, GB, and TB.

They’ve played only one bad game all season (NYG).

Newsom: "Think about the state of mind of the VP. How do you square the circle when you go to a prayer breakfast? Old testament, new testament. What's the fundamental thing that connects John to Matthew to Proverbs? It's this notion of hunger, feeding the poor. It's central to advancing God's will."

Remember when everyone said young people had “shifted to the right”? 2025 says: not so fast.

Young voters showed up — informed, engaged, and ready to protect democracy.

Let’s keep fueling that energy by helping every teen register, learn, and lead! 💪🗳️

Growing up in Philadelphia in the 1980s, Pierre was my favorite deejay. And I’m guessing I wasn’t alone. His memory will be a blessing.

After today’s victory, I will reaffirm that there’s nothing wrong with the #Eagles except injuries and a very tough schedule.

Huh. Where did this “young“ Republican get the idea that racism was ok, or he didn’t have to pay bills?

By law the Republicans were required to have a budget for the new fiscal year in place on September 30th.

Anyone seen the budget? Are they are here in DC working on one?

Don't we think media, commentators should be asking Rs where their budget is? Do they intend to actually create one?

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”
