If your day has been hard, if you’re feeling anxious or angry or lost, allow yourself to pause for a moment and come back to your breathing. The present moment is all we truly have. When we become so tied up in our thoughts, we miss our appointment with life. Rest well, my friends. 😊

Amen
Imagine cheering on people in power who are actively targeting and harming the hungry, the poor, the sick, the elderly, the veteran, the disabled, the different, and the stranger and still somehow expecting people to believe you follow Jesus.

So sad
It's always the same playbook from MAGA. If there is any independence -- any integrity -- in a conservative, they ruthlessly attack and either make them bend the knee or try to isolate them and drive them out of the community: www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...

If the Biden administration had done this, it would be deemed proof of the Democrats' hostility to religion. But Trump is doing it, so his Christian allies turn against Christian ministries and gut their ability to serve the poorest of the poor. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
Trump’s foreign aid demolition hits major Christian charities
In a closed-door meeting, U.S. officials touted their success in “zeroing out” foreign assistance, but the downsizing has clipped religious allies, too.

If Trump and the GOP extend their 2017 tax cuts, the top 1% will make out like bandits — taking home an extra $165 per day.
But the bottom 60% will get shafted — getting only an extra $1.10 per day in exchange for massive cuts to Medicaid and SNAP.
It's reverse Robin Hood.

House Republicans released a draft budget that aims to cut $2 trillion in spending.
The programs impacted could include Medicaid, SNAP, and education programs.
Why the cuts? To finance another round of tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations.

The top health care companies in America spent 95% of their profits to make their CEOs & stockholders obscenely rich.
How many Americans would be alive today if those companies spent $2.6 trillion on disease prevention and primary care, instead of stock buybacks and dividends?

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies.
Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE.
Funny how that works, huh?
