Every Bishop knows Trump disagrees with the Pope’s values. These people aren’t naive politically. They went in the pigsty & are embarrassed we saw the filth on their shoes.
I have zero sympathy for anyone involved in this grotesque farce. When you travel all the way to DC to go to the home of the most infamous fascist in US history and get ushered into his office alongside a videographer and photographer, you know *exactly* what vile game you're playing. Disgraceful.

The conservative Cato Institute looked at the Trump Admin's claims that illegal immigrants are costing taxpayer money by using services. They concluded that immigrants have CONTRIBUTED (not cost) $1.7 trillion. www.cato.org/blog/white-h...
SCOTUS is the most important reason to vote for every Democrat, even the one with whom you rightfully disagree on other important issues. Protect democracy. A senator can be replaced in the next election. Stop another Alito or Thomas from this life-time position.
My daily reminder of why I cancelled my subscription to the @nytimes.com
There are only two explanations for the NYT's habit of presenting GOP operatives and donors as true swing voters: 1. Their reporters and editors are somehow incapable of running a simple Google searches, showing just a staggering level of journalistic incompetence 2. They want to the GOP to win
A smart guy who's not a lousy president wouldn't be talking about a restaurant. He'd be admiring men's bodies & women's asses. He be saying how he didn't care about high prices because oil companies are getting rich. He'd be calling hardworking immigrants stupid thieves from shithouse nations.
Trump is BIG MAD about Obama saying the White House now looks like Saddam opened a Cheesecake Factory: "He's not a smart guy. He's not smart at all ... for you to say it's a Cheesecake Factory, that just shows why you were a lousy president"
Apology from these Bishops isn't accepted. They knew exactly which partisan pigsty they were entering. They didn't expect to get caught with the filth on their shoes.
You don’t get to be an archbishop by being naive and simple. They went to get goodies. They went to get school vouchers. They went to change abortion law. The Trump administration used them right back. They got caught, and now they pretend they weren’t political. #TaxTheChurches

The only poll that counts is on Nov. 3. Keep pushing to get decent people to show up.
🚨THE GOP’S SENATE MAJORITY IS IN SERIOUS DANGER. Nate Silver now gives Democrats roughly a 75% chance of taking the Senate. 🔵 NC: Cooper +10 🔵 GA: Ossoff +8 🔵 TX: Talarico +2 🔵 MI: El-Sayed +2 🔵 IA: Turek +2 🔵 AK: Peltola +1.6 Election Night could turn into a Senate wipeout for Republicans. #VOTE

Does this look like evil, rogue, terrorist, apartheid, genocidal nation that Palestinian propaganda spreads thru algorithms to gullible Americans? This is what democracy looks like. I want to Free Palestine to have this one day. Stop supporting the terrorists & work for peace with these Israelis.
Israel is just 2 days away from a critical election, and thousands of protesters are filling the streets of Tel Aviv demanding Netanyahu’s removal! They’re demanding accountability for October 7 security failures and an independent commission of inquiry.

Frankly, Betty, I don't give a bloody hoot when Republicans are insulted. Their existence is an embarrassment to decent Americans.
I keep seeing posts from Republicans pretending to be insulted by Barack Obama's Cheesecake Factory quip because most Americans supposedly think it serves haute cuisine. First, it does not. And you know that. Second, his remark wasn't about the food. It was about the over-the-top golden decor.

Even the Democrat with whom you rightfully disagree will not force a raped girl to give birth or a dangerous pregnancy to continue. That flawed Dem candidate could be the vote that blocks Trump's SCOTUS picks. Vote to protect democracy. That's the main issue on this ballot. Vote for every Democrat.

The Republicans are worse than I thought. And I thought they were just dumb, racist, & cruel. Look at these faces, same as the faces that went to lynchings for family entertainment, marched with Trump's dad at Nazi rallies, supported McCarthy & internment camps, shouted at kids integrating schools.
Water boarding wouldn’t get this out of me
This isn't new to me or any American who heard him brag of sexual assault. Dozens of women accuse him & his abusive behavior was adjudicated in court. Republican voters will make excuses for their continued support of this corrupt piece of trash. Decent people have to outvote them. Vote Democrats!
The allegations against Donald Trump for sexual assault seem to have a common denominator: He is physically violent and intentionally inflicts pain on his victims. He likes to slam women and girls up against doors and walls as he roughly manhandles them. Donald Trump is a sick and twisted person.

Every Democrat is better than any Republican. Jackson won’t force raped girls to give birth. He could be the vote that stops Trump’s SCOTUS pick. He’ll stop funding ICE terrorists. Vote for Democrats now.
🗳️ MAINE U.S. SENATE Former Maine Senate President and fifth-generation logger Troy Jackson is the Democratic candidate challenging Susan Collins. His priorities include affordable healthcare, lower prescription drug costs and protecting workers’ rights. #Vote4TroyJackson #Maine #Vote2026 #SheShed
I never thought so many stupid awful people were walking around America.
Trump has helped us clearly see the absolute worst of humanity. Evil people are showing who they truly are. Working to deport your neighbors is despicable. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy www.propublica.org/article/depo...

Elon Musk has spent over $180 million on the Texas senate race. “There is something deeply wrong with a political system that allows one trillionaire to buy his own personal U.S. Senator,” James Talarico said. www.americaamerica.news/p/how-long-c...
Every Republican accusation is a confession.
Republicans endanger children. This is one example but let's take a look at what's happening to children in #ICE detention. They are being denied medical attention, as well as healthy food & water. They are experiencing mental illness because they're being tortured. Vote blue & Vote early!

Former President Called out the horrors of the current one Listen to his truth Over the current chaos creator
Obama: "The guy has become billions of dollars wealthier in office. Nobody disputes this! It's just -- how do you do that when you're supposed to be looking out for you? And the worst part of it not a single Republican in Congress has done anything to stop it."

The crowd cheered it on. They were amused by a POTUS who makes gutter humor, encouraged by his racist comments about immigrants who work harder than any Republican in office has ever had to work, & went home even dumber than when they arrived at the hate rally.
So Trump’s closing argument is that high gas prices are good because his donors who run oil companies are making bank, Jon Husted has a nice ass but not quite as good as Nicki Minaj’s ass, after 7 months the Reflecting Pool is almost done, and we get a ballroom, arch and helipad.

Our taxpayer dollars have funded this white supremacist trillionaire who is using his winnings—some half a billion dollars—to try and shove Republican candidates down our throats and avoid investigation and prosecution. www.americaamerica.news/p/how-long-c...
