PASTOR LORAN LIVINGSTON (@CentralChurchNC): “There has never been a Christian nation, and never will be. You don’t live in one now. A Christian nation wouldn’t have killed and displaced 20 million Native Americans, or thought owning slaves was pleasing to God.”

If the Supreme Court can reverse a 95 year-old ruling for a country that is only 250 years old, I need you to UNDERSTAND this country still has no idea what it is or what it stands for other than it’s constant push-and-pull to oppress Black people and eliminate Native people.

Great news: the courts will have a chance to rein in the abuses at Camp East Montana, the infamous tent camp built on Fort Bliss in El Paso. I have known seasoned veterans of this field who visited the camp and came away saying it was one of the worst ICE detention centers they’d ever been to.

Solidarity with the nurses striking in Houlton, fighting for safe staffing levels. Understaffing kills patients every day. In the Senate I’ll support national safe staffing legislation, which is long, long overdue.

We call ourselves "intelligent," yet the humblest fungus can decompose waste and build soil, a tree can harness solar energy, and a wetland can purify water—all without toxic byproducts. True intelligence is learning from these systems, not bulldozing them.

Kaine: "You don't sucker punch somebody in a bar and then blame your buddies when they don't join the fight with you. If the president wanted the support of allies, he should've respected them instead of putting tariffs on their economies and trash talking them."
