BREAKING: At Pope Leo XIV’s urging, U.S. Catholic bishops just delivered the strongest rebuke of a sitting president in Church history — condemning Trump-Vance raids as “inhumane” and “dehumanizing” in a 216–5 vote.
NEW: At Pope Leo’s Urging, Bishops Issue Historic Rebuke of Trump’s Raids

Still entertained that Drudge is the granddaddy of all these far-right news sites but has been consistently out on Trump for years. Don't have to hand it to him, but definitely a contrast.

It looks like Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz are coming back for a 4th Mummy movie and... I have very mixed feelings.
The first Mummy movie is one of my all time favorites, it Indiana Joneses better than, well, most Indiana Jones movies. It's fun, the right amount of camp, and well acted.

I was at an event yesterday where Rand Paul spoke via video and talked about how great it was to send ACA money "directly to the people" so that they could work collectively to get better deals on health care.

It sucks that victories these days are 'well, at least they didn't destroy peoples lives in this particular way', but a win is a win. Thankful so many of my friends and neighbors don't have to fear the loss of their right to marry. ❤️🌈
Breaking news: The Supreme Court has declined to consider a challenge to its landmark 2015 ruling that legalized same-sex marriage nationwide.
The challenge came from a county clerk who stopped issuing marriage licenses shortly after the ruling.

Watching the game I wanted him gone for a long time.
I have since realized that directly before the punch ARSB, after scoring a TD, pointed to Trump's box and did the stupid Trump dance.
I don't think that's why Payne through a punch, but now I kinda want to bake him a casserole while he's out.

Both Peters and Slotkin were 'No' votes on the motion to capitulate. I'm somewhat surprised but proud of both of them. @slotkin.senate.gov @peters.senate.gov Thank you both for standing up for health care for Michiganders.

He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.
