Leaders of a Catholic church in Massachusetts kept a Nativity display with an anti-ICE message in place on Monday, defying an order from the Catholic Archdiocese of Boston to remove it. The display shows Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus missing, replaced by a sign reading “ICE WAS HERE.” trib.al/adPW46y

It’s important to remember that Laura Ingraham went to Dartmouth. She’s not as stupid as she sounds. She’s just a shameless liar.

After MTG lied about me for weeks, she said that she felt bad for my unborn child because he'd have me as a mother. Her rhetoric led to threats against my family.

No one, even her, should receive threats like those, but I'd like to see her own up to the role she played in creating them for others.
Marjorie Taylor Greene: "I sent those deaths threats directly to him in a text message & informed him of what his name calling & words were doing - it was a direct assassination threat on my son. And he was extremely - I won't repeat what he said - but it was extremely unkind. No sympathy. No care"

Hard to believe it's been 38 years since I was diagnosed with Leukemia. So thankful that chemotherapy, which is a very real thing, was available and I went into remission relatively quickly. Don't listen to idiots who question science and doctors.

And what I have to say about that is maybe CNN should go hard core on Trump’s mental state like they did Biden. After all their alignment with Trump during campaign is what got them here.

Trump is letting NVIDIA export cutting-edge AI chips that his own DOJ revealed are being illegally smuggled into China.

His own DOJ called these chips "building blocks of AI superiority."

Trump and Lutnick need to answer to Congress on why they are selling out US security.

John Lennon - Imagine

On this day in 1980, John Lennon was senselessly taken from the world. A profound voice for peace and love was silenced. His message of hope, however, echoes louder than ever.
