Man Who Fell Asleep at Pope’s Funeral was Already Going to Hell, Says God
Although snoozing during the pontiff’s funeral was “beyond rude,” the Almighty said that the man clinched his place in the netherworld “decades ago.”

if you are wearing a cross while you go after immigrants and push hate against marginalized groups then what i have to surmise is the cross is actually a medal for getting rid of someone you didn't like.

@maddow.msnbc.com why isn’t anyone saying that this tanking of the American economy isn’t a directive from Putin to Trump to help weaken America for easier conquest by Russia. I think everything he does has been on the instructions of his Dear Leader.

In the hearing happening now about the Trump admin's removal of Venezuelans under the Alien Enemy Act, one of the panel judges says, "Nazis got better treatment," noting they at least had access to a hearing before they were deported.

Go Amy! You are fighting the GREAT fight!
So Putin is commissioning paintings of Trump while this administration abandons abducted Ukrainian children?
Reports that the State Department ended a contract to find them are deeply concerning.
I am leading a bipartisan effort to demand answers & keep fighting to bring them home.

Reports are coming in that Trump-era ICE agents have arrested even American-born citizens during raids. If you’re just heading to work or the grocery store, how would you prove you’re an American? This is getting out of hand—Americans have a right to privacy.
