Berating reporters is not new for Trump, but here, unbridled sexist rage seeps through when asked about Epstein. She obviously asked the right question and it was matched with the rage of a small man.

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office.
No matter how they voted last night, every one of them has a say in maintaining Chuck Schumer and Dick Durbin as their caucus leaders. Every one of them is accountable here.

Gutting the department that oversees special education is the exact opposite of “caring for the least of these.” Pure evil.

Charlie Kirk did not deserve to be murdered, because noone deserves to murdered. Political violence is not something to be tolerated, not even against Charlie Kirk. And it is in holding and defending those beliefs that we make ourselves unlike Charlie Kirk.

These “crazy people” are sick. They are needy. They are the same people Jesus would lift up, but JD Vance calls himself a Christian while kicking them to the curb. That is what using the Lord’s name in vain looks like.
JD Vance on homelessness: "I don't know why we accepted that it was reasonable to have crazy people yelling at our kids. You should not have to cross the street in downtown Atlanta to avoid a crazy person yelling at your family. Those are your streets."

Trump wants to further erode the trust MAGA folks have in the voting process and results. He knows his base will lose in the midterms and is willing to have his followers use violence to fight against the eventual results.
in crazed early morning screed, the president announces "I am going to lead a movement to get rid of MAIL-IN BALLOTS, and also, while we’re at it, Highly “Inaccurate,” Very Expensive, and Seriously Controversial VOTING MACHINES"

In Galatians 5, Paul writes about the fruit of the spirit. Love, Joy,Peace, Patience, Kindness, Generosity, Faithfulness, Gentleness, and Self-Control. As a child I though of these as fancy fruit on some out of reach tree. But these are more incredible than that.

It's unclear to me why the US Congressmen are not escorted by big armed cops to push through obstacles to them exercising their legal rights, and instead everyone now defers to the guys with no uniforms or badges or name tags to determine what is and is not legal?
In a lengthy exchange, with ICE Deputy Field Director Bill Joyce, Reps Nadler and Goldman are denied the ability to visit the 10th floor. Joyce says it's not a detention facility it's just a place ppl are housed for several days w/out beds.

I don’t post much, but a “Joe Rogan of the left!?!” Have they seen what he is doing to the right? They got more votes but are hardly unified. Sure, people might gravitate to a populist, fear monger, but we should be better than that. We should fight back with actual plans to help actual people.
