A scripture came to mind today as I was thinking about T___p taking office tomorrow, and the 4 years after that: “You shall not run with a crowd, to do evil.” No matter how many Christians have already abandoned it & no matter how many more will, I aim to bind this precept as an anklet to my feet.

This is actually a pretty minor lapse by @nytimes.com standards; usually when they do one of these undecided voter stories it turns out to be a literal card-carrying local Republican Party official.

Christ our loving Lord, in your kindness be with the sick and the poor, the weak and the dying: bring them your comfort. ~ Be near us, Lord, this evening. #Vespers #EveningPrayer #Prayer #PrayerfortheSick #PrayerfortheDying #JesusChrist

You MUST read this brilliant essay by Judge J. Michael Luttig: newrepublic.com/article/2151...

Lula is to my left. Magyar is to my right. And I don’t care in the slightest, because they are the candidates of democracy against autocracy.

Liberal democracy remains a towering achievement of humanity and it is worth fighting for.

Just to be clear... Prop 40 is a ONE-TIME retroactive tax. It applies ONLY to billionaires and would tax just 5% of their wealth — which grew 30% in 2025. California's billionaires would still be worth $2T+ AFTER the tax. The revenue will fund healthcare for millions of Californians. Vote YES.

Not a single person named Kowalski, Russo, or Cohen there either. Should we all go back where we came from?

Greed

A lot of Trumpism is the sheer joy of telling completely made-up, unapologetic lies to watch people who care about the truth squirm.

"Let us have charity and humility; and let us give alms because almsgiving washes the soul of its sinful filth." #SaintFrancisOfAssisi

California voters: Don’t fall for billionaires’ tricks. Vote YES on Prop 40. Vote NO on Props 41 and 42. Let me explain.

Before organized gambling entered sports, I would’ve unconditionally accepted that the Patriots’ touchdown just now was legit. Nowadays…

The people who want states to force a woman to have a child against her will and kidnap her body while doing so think the states can’t take lethal and non-lethal killing tools away from dangerous people or keep them out of sensitive places. Our country is insane.

NEW: A group of Catholic bishops prayed over President Trump in the Oval Office on Thursday, 12 days before the midterm elections, at a meeting organized by an official at the Heritage Foundation. A senior Vatican official called it “a highly inappropriate meeting and an insult to Pope Leo XIV.”

Do not lay hands on others too hastily or you may find yourself regarded as an accomplice in the sins of others (1 Timothy 5:22). #PrayForAmerica www.ncronline.org/news/ahead-e...

A Jew, a Christian, and a Muslim walk into the Senate. All follow the Constitution and want what is best for the people! Yay!

If Trump succeeds in overthrowing our democracy, what will people in mainstream media say about their role in it? You’d want them to be able to say: “We did our best to warn the public.” But so far, all they could say would be: “We bent over backwards to be fair to the fascists.”

🎯🎯🎯

It is beyond me how anyone, let alone a Catholic, can in good conscience continue to support Trump. His racist, vile and disgusting remarks are far removed from what a Christian is called to be. There are no more excuses that can be made to espouse such behavior.

(1/X) It's striking to me how little anyone seems to care that Trump is openly working for Russia now, that he's openly participating in the mass slaughter of Ukrainians. It would be inaccurate to say that he's received less criticism for this than Obama got for wearing a tan suit...

Calling empathy sin is calling good evil and evil good, it is Antichrist, the people promulgating it are Antichrist and false teachers, they are the wolves among the flock our Lord warned us about.

Some say he is with the Emperor of Russia

To be clear, the same judges who thought the Court should not interfere with state regulation of women’s reproductive rights choices are now imposing color-blindness, super strong gun rights, and religious supremacy on all 50 states whether they want those rules or not.

No country should trust the U.S. as an ally as long as treacherous, greedy authoritarians are in charge of the U.S. government. The U.S. should be treated as a pariah by all democratic nations.

Ahh, the different sounds of a dog….

Ossoff: "He said he would rename Hormuz the 'Trump Strait.' The draft-dodging president tells jokes while 21 Americans are dead and hundreds wounded ... they've drained our stockpiles to achieve nothing while the crook commander in chief builds a monument to himself."

When JFK ran, they said the country would never elect a Catholic president. When Obama ran, they said the country would never elect a Black president. Michiganders care a lot less about how I pray than what I pray for: peace, dignity, basic goodness for all of our kids.

We are being robbed. Of our homes, our healthcare, our retirements, our recreation, our very futures. They lay off 1,000s and use the saving to buy back stocks. Aren't you tired of these thieves taking money out of your pockets?

I’m old to remember when sophisticated people pooh-poohed fears that massive social media platforms run by unscrupulous people in bed with an authoritarian administration could…I dunno?…pose a threat to freedom and democracy? www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/politic...

At its core, MAGA is a godless movement whose agenda is an affront to the gospel of Jesus Christ. That’s why Catholics are uniting under Pope Leo XIV to defeat authoritarianism.

Whether it’s Barack Obama putting Dijon mustard on a hamburger or Donald Trump bringing millions of Ukrainians to the brink of starvation, both men have made unorthodox food choices.

James Talarico Knows.......

This is just flat out racism. No other way to describe it, and if you see someone trying to do otherwise (looking at you NYT editors) then correct them.

Americans, please don’t worry about your child coming home from school a different sex. Worry about your child not coming home from school because they were shot to death.

Perfectly happy to see Zacharia go. But it might be pointed out that if she had stayed, she would have done infinitely less damage to the nation than Hegseth, Kennedy, Blanche, Patel, Vought, et al. They should be as unacceptable as—more unacceptable than—Zacharia.
