Does your Christian church have a plan to help the community when SNAP benefits don’t go out in November?

Bless her truthfulness, clarity, and insight.
Speaking of Jane Goodall, my favorite quote by her:

“You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.”

Eric Adams, disreputable, mendacious, and conniving, is a mistake NYC voters still can repair, Curtis Sliwa is a sad shadow of whatever good he may have done in life, and...
Donald Trump is so afraid of Zohran Mamdani that he’s thinking of offering jobs to Eric Adams and Curtis Sliwa in order to clear a path for his preferred candidate Andrew Cuomo.

So NYC voters have two options:

Cast a vote for Zohran…or cast a vote for Trump (Cuomo).

The NC Legislature is appalling. I was so surprised to see a bill like House Bill 805 pass 113-0. Just amazed.
Wait for it. The Senate just destroyed the good it could do with this irrelevant-to-the-bill power plays. ncnewsline.com/2025/06/23/n...

Robert “Ed” Smylie, the NASA official who saved the Apollo 13 crew in 1970, has died at 95. He cobbled together an apparatus made of cardboard, plastic bags and duct tape after an explosion crippled the spacecraft as it sped toward the moon.

We need to bring people into our bubble, to let them see what we see. We need others to see what Ukraine sees, to see what the Palestinians see, to feel what it feels like to need others. How do we do this, effectively, and sooner rather than later?

SMDH.
Please tell me there are people with sense who can stop this line of thought. Is this administration now going to follow the Netanyahu v. Gaza playbook, as well as the Putin v. Ukraine playbook, each honoring the Hitler playbook. Wtf.

NEW: With today's filings, it appears the Trump administration has decided on a showdown with the federal court. At this point, a finding of contempt seems likely. Then we are in uncharted territory.
