WTF did Cory Booker vote to confirm Charles Kushner, criminal father of Jared, as Ambassador to France? Just another damn Democratic hypocrite, showing his record-setting filibuster was performative BS.

Every ICE agent "in action" should be photographed and followed as much as possible. The data should be gathered, analyzed, and kept secure until the day comes-- and it will come--when justice is respected again and they are held accountable.

I do hope and pray that the conclave decides in a pope who as a formidable communicator and transparently spiritual servant with political wisdom will denounce religious fascism, particularly Christian Nationalism.

If another country cut off our supply of vaccines or unleashed contagious vaccine-preventable diseases on us, we would call it what it is: bioterrorism. Just because it’s a Kennedy doing it to us from inside the house does not change that.

Blessed are those who die in the Lord. Thanks be to God for Pope Francis, who so lovingly served the world in the name of the Lord, with whom Francis now smiles eternally face to face.
