Trump just said this morning that were he Tom Homan he'd arrest Gov. Newsom. Of course he would, just as if he could have, he would have hung Mike Pence.

While Stephen Miller publishes the faces of the judges that struck down Trump’s unlawful tariffs, his own goons in ICE refuse to show theirs out of fear of being publicly identified. If our judges are brave enough to face MAGA threats with their faces showing, ICE should not hide behind masks.

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.

Sure, let’s dissect the mental and physical acuity of the former president who sought to make lives in America better while minimizing the reality of a deranged arsonist dismantling the country we’ve known and loved. What a failure to meet this moment.

Who needs a $400 million “palace in the sky” when you can have two or three dolls and a couple of pencils instead.

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.

The new Pope:

This is wonderful news of the first American Pope, an Augustinian with a heart for the poor, and welcomed bad news for the despisers of justice who follow Trump.

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.
