Trump’s war on D.E.I. is an attack on three biblical virtues
As a longtime biblical scholar, I believe the enemies of D.E.I. fail to recognize that diversity, equity and inclusion characterize God’s actions throughout the Bible.

Just watched the Tylenol press conference because I had to. It's hard to convey how utterly deranged, even by Trump standards, it was.

So in anticipation of JD Vance's big Epstein strategy powwow tonight, quite a number of anti-Trump and anti-sex-abuse protesters have already lined up with rather disapproving signs outside the main entrance to the vice president's residence on in DC. I would've taken a photo, but I was driving.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem called Los Angeles a “city of criminals” and not a city of immigrants. But like its name, Los Angeles is a city of angels. We protect and look out for one another, especially the most vulnerable.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving.
There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later.

Dolores Huerta is a devout Catholic and champion of working people. Last year, the Navy decided to name a ship in her honor. This year, the president wants to name the ship for someone who represents a "warrior culture." This decision is an insult to all people of faith and goodwill. #PrayForAmerica

100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion in the 2024 election.
70% of these donations went to Republicans.
Now, Republicans in Congress are gearing up to slash essential programs to pay for another round of tax cuts predominantly for the rich.
This is what oligarchy looks like.

A new analysis estimates the Trump/GOP budget's rollback of clean energy tax credits will eliminate nearly 830,000 jobs by 2030 and raise energy prices by 50% by 2035.
Just another way the "big beautiful bill" will make the economy worse and your life more expensive.

After-tax income under the Trump/GOP budget:
