just taking tonight to really appreciate all these years of journalistic tut-tut-tutting about how over-the-top it was for anyone to focus on trump's affinity for russia and putin.

In its simplest terms, the apparent demise of #USAID is the result of the world's richest man ending a program that helps millions of poor people. You don't need a Ph.D. in moral theology to see why this is an evil. You can just read Jesus's parables on the rich and the poor.

Stock market is tumbling.

Eggs prices are skyrocketing.

China is beating us in AI development.

Trump's on the golf course.

We deserve better.

I spent 30 years in journalism & loved every minute. But now, I'm so glad I got laid off 9 yrs ago. I thought our mission was to serve the public, not bow down to a dictator. But the WH press corps is more concerned about page views than the state of our nation ... www.cjr.org/political_pr...

Let's keep these Bible verses in mind over the next few days.

"You shall not oppress a resident alien; you know the heart of an alien, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt." (Exodus 23:19).

"I was a stranger and you did not welcome me" (Matthew 25:43).

Kamala Harris served food at a DC kitchen for homeless Americans today. Donald Trump sat on social media and posted incoherent nonsense.

America, we messed up badly.
