NEW: Through its extraordinary lawsuit against California, the Trump DOJ is trying to bypass bans on last-minute registration purges by targeting voters’ ballots directly. If a court approves the department's approach, it would significantly damage federal voting protections.

“‘Equitable distribution’ does not mean that all people must enjoy the same or the same amount of goods. Uniformity is not the goal. What is crucial is that we be attentive to when we have enough and fully alert to when others do not have basic needs met.” — Norman Wirzba

“When we practice ceasing in the way God intends, we touch the very ground of our being. We experience ourselves to be creatures in the presence of our Creator—beloved children who are cared for and loved as human beings rather than as human doings.” — Ruth Haley Barton

Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It's often weakened by attacks on the institutions and the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."

37 more wounded troops. Added quietly. No explanation. Here's the No B.S. truth: when anyone (a vendor, a CEO, a government) revises the numbers without telling you why, the silence IS the message. 861 wounded. Their families deserve the full story.

RFK Jr's sister, Kerry Kennedy, disavowed her brother over his actions.

Awkward — “VP JD Vance has been exposed as the source of a story whose supposed leak was used by the White House in court to justify the termination of Politico's access to the press pool.” 😬

The man who launched state media, bribes voters with free money, uses the military on civilians, tries to nationalize elections, avoids due process, bypasses Congressional authority, and uses government funds to purchase company shares... ...wants you to believe his opponents are communists.
