It will be interesting to see how many people try to cast these protests as antisemitic, considering how extreme Ben Gvir is.

Good opportunity for them to tell on themselves.

The way they'd kill the Medicaid expansion is by cutting the percentage the federal government pays for all costs associated with the expansion population (currently 90%) down to the legacy Medicaid level of 50-80% (depending on state). Many expansion states could/would not make up the difference.
GOP leaders are now saying they want to protect Medicaid for "the truly vulnerable"

That's actually code for a big cut -- and taking out a piece of the ACA with it

A lot of my readers are trans catholics. I understand the terrible things to come out of the Catholic church, for trans people especially.

Still, the church moved more towards trans people under his leadership than it has been in the past.

I hope the next one embraces full inclusion.

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

For a lot of trans Catholics, Pope Francis offered hope for acceptance and at a minimum, dignity for us. He was a good man in a deeply flawed institution and it was clear he was always trying his best to move the church in a better direction.

While we were all sleeping:

The Supreme Court, in an order issued in the middle of the night, ordered the Trump administration to not remove anyone under the Alien Enemies Act until other legal steps play out in the lower courts.

Pope Francis Warns Seals On Jesus’ Tomb Are Weakening
VATICAN CITY—As he called on the world’s 1.3 billion Catholics to pray for the bonds restraining the messiah to hold fast, Pope Francis warned Tuesday that the seals on Jesus’ tomb were weakening and Christ could escape at any moment. “Citizens of the world, brace yourselves, for soon the Risen Lord will roam the earth anew, unleashing death and destruction on everything in His path,” said the pontiff, adding that the Vatican had worked for centuries to keep Jesus safely bound and locked away in His crypt, but Church teachings had long foretold He would one day come again to visit His murderous wrath upon the children of God. “The death toll could be in the millions. Once Jesus has broken free, no mortal force can contain Him, and He will not rest until His ravenous blood lust has been sated. As we speak, our most powerful cardinals are in the catacombs blessing the seals with all their might, but we don’t know how long they can hold Him back. The King of Kings has finally been roused from His ancient slumber and is ready to feed.” At press time, Pope Francis was reportedly yelling for everyone to save themselves after Jesus had burst forth from His tomb and devoured a group of Swiss Guards that was futilely stabbing Him with their pikes.
