In Pope Francis’s last public address, he preached care of the marginalized, the vulnerable, and migrants, saying: “I would like all of us to hope anew and to revive our trust in others, including those who are different than ourselves.” May we heed his wish.

It is refreshing when other nations demonstrate how to properly show the middle finger to the US gov., when we ourselves keep walking on eggshells.

AOC: It is almost unthinkable why Senate Democrats would vote to to hand the few pieces of leverage that we have away for free when we've been sent here to protect social security, protect medicaid, and protect medicare.

Always good to remember that there has literally never been a Twitter outage since Elron took over that he didn't blame on a massive cyberattack. He means "massive cyberattack" in the sense of "I fired all my techs".

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.
It's reverse Robin Hood.

YIKES! Duckworth asks Hegseth to name a country that's in ASEAN. He names three -- none of which are in ASEAN.
"I suggest you do a little homework," she says.
