In Matthew 25, Jesus describes true converts as being marked by a peculiar empathy toward the poor, marginalized, and incarcerated.

But he describes false coverts as being outwardly religious but marked by a peculiar callousness toward the poor, marginalized, & incarcerated.

Russia and China are actively recruiting federal workers unceremoniously fired by Elon Musk and the Trump Administration.

Have a nice day.

The top 0.1% of Americans control $22 trillion in wealth.

The bottom 50% control $3.8 trillion in wealth.

Read that back.

Folks, this is what oligarchy looks like.

Trying to keep up what is being said on the other side, so I’ve been reading twitter for a few minutes each day. I feel dirty.

"The goalposts for DOGE have silently moved from finding fraud and corruption to simply pointing out and cancelling government programs that Trump and Republicans simply don’t support." -- @justinglawe.bsky.social
Despite the hype, DOGE hasn't found a shred of fraud
All they've really got is "spending that Elon Musk doesn't like."

I want to highlight the STI and sexual health education work being done by Mr. Guthrie. The U.S. continues to suffer from sky high rates of preventable STIs, largely because public health has been hollowed out by drastic underfunding, including basic education, prevention, and treatment efforts.
Hard agree. To have one's livelihood suddenly taken away is disorienting and painful, and has reverberating effects across communities.
I think these sort of stories are important at this moment. It's one thing to report the number of employees fired (which is very high!). It's another to make people (and elected officials) confront the fact that these are their neighbors.

We have a minimum age to serve in office, we need a maximum age.
I wrote about how Congress has turned into a senior center.

How many AOCs are never elected because 80-year-olds refuse to step down?

How many young lawmakers don’t acquire leadership roles — and miss out on years of experience — because seniority is prized above anything else?
Congress Has Become a Waiting Room for Heaven
Who says our senior leaders have to be senior citizens?

Musk wasn’t elected. Trump has not yet taken office. Why are congress people taking marching orders from either?

Trump's nomination of Gaetz will be the clearest signal yet of whether GOP senators are ready to do his bidding on all sorts of issues.

If Trump can get 51 votes for Gaetz, he can get a Senate majority for just about anything — like cutting back Social Security.

Be warned.
