The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor.

Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.

These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism.

This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.

Every American should reject it.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 81st day out of the last 93.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

If the government shutdown continues, people will not only lose SNAP, they will lose HEAP, the heating assistance. Which means facing the winter without heat in their homes.

As friends know, I am an honorary Iowan who sadly watched the Democratic caucuses melt away even as the state went deep red. But with an assist from Joni Ernst and her dumb snark about causing deaths, Iowa looks more competitive for 2026: nymag.com/intelligence...
Joni Ernst’s Medicaid Quip Could Cost Her in Midterms
A state that had been trending heavily toward the GOP is looking potentially competitive again, in part thanks to the senator’s gaffe.

Since Donald Trump is freaking out about Bruce Springsteen calling this the most corrupt, incompetent and treasonous administration, it would be a shame if this video was shared even more widely....

The way of the cross. The way of Jesus. The way of humility, service and preference of others. The way of dying to self & rising with Christ. There’s no other following. This has been the stunning forfeiture in this generation’s discipleship & we have borne its fruit. In repentance we regather joy.

We must not assume that our family, church, community, country, or organization is always right just because the people in it use the right words. We must never agree to “protect” the name of God by covering ungodliness.

Per this @nytimes.com story, among those deported by the Trump administration is Artemis Ghasemzadeh, an Iranian convert to Christianity.

If returned to Iran, she could face the death penalty for her conversion. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/w...

I have panic disorder and C-PTSD and I'm OK thanks to Prozac, a wonderful psychiatrist and therapist. If RFK, Jr. thinks he's going to send me and the 50 million Americans who thrive via *better living through chemistry* to a wellness farm, he can get fucked.

God of blessing & woe, disturbing the deadly order of the world: give us faith tested in poverty, hunger for what truly satisfies, eyes softened by tears & hearts ready to laugh at what is false & pompous that we might protect the dignity of all people; thru Jesus, who turns the world upside down.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

The problem is not just that Trump thinks of himself as a Messiah; it’s that too many Christians want their Messiah to be more like Trump.

The older I get the more I realize how DEEPLY *deeply* true Jesus’s teachings were. I knew they were true before, but I simply could not have grasped the scope.

And? This gives me a fresh curiosity and anticipation about the teachings that I don’t fully understand…yet.

This is pure joy, and their absolute refusal to break is everything.
Mary Tyler Moore accidentally nailed a perfect trick shot in *The Dick Van Dyke Show* (1962)—on the FIRST take.

It was supposed to be done by a pro, but she shocked everyone and pulled it off herself. Absolute legend. 🎱✨

It’s no coincidence that Jesus’s primary metaphors for ministry were not soldiers, hunters, or builders,

But shepherds, farmers, and fisherman.

The humility. The unpredictability. The chaos. The waiting. None of it means we failed.

This is just what faithfulness looks like.
