What if the church purged its addiction to power?
What if instead of hiring Presidents to harm its enemies, Christians offered bread, wine, water, & a warm bed to those in harm’s way by Presidents drunk on power?
What if the church took the Way of Jesus rather than retribution.

"Everyone has a role. Stand upright in yours."
If you are a lawyer, you advocate to save democracy. If you are an elected rep you use legislative power to protect your country. If you are a journalist you write truth in the face of threats to democracy.
If you are a faith leader, you do this. Everyone has a role. Stand upright in yours.

Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic.

100% this. And Cannon no longer holds jurisdiction over this case, sooooo....
Dear President Biden:
You have "immunity" for "official acts."
Releasing Special Counsel Jack Smith's report would be an "official act."
Time to play some hardball on your way out, Mr. President.

Our message to the media: We are either pushing back on the slide into authoritarianism, or we are enabling it. There is no third option.
Both sides-ism is how we got here. As Christian Amanpour said: “Be truthful, not neutral.”

For two years, House Republicans have used the false testimony of a Russian foreign agent, Alexander Smirnov, to improve their electoral prospects by spreading lies about President Joe Biden. Now, Smirnov is pleading guilty to lying to the FBI.

The Framers recognized the importance of the Senate’s role to provide a check on the executive branch by requiring “advice and consent” over key positions in our government.
We must have FBI background checks, hearings, and confirmation votes for the President’s nominees.

I hope everyone is paying close attention to how the Hunter Biden pardon is being covered.
If you wondered why Trump and his cronies can betray America and commit ceaseless crimes for years without consequences but Democrats can't right obviously partisan wrongs, the current media reaction is why.
