Catholic Cardinal says the next pope must move against homosexuals because church doctrine has to be based on what Jesus said. Only problem? Jesus never said one single word about homosexuality. Or abortion. www.joemygod.com/2025/04/card...

The test of a successful president has nothing to do with how much he gets done in 100 days or how much power he accumulates. The real test is how much better off are the people, and how much stronger is our democracy. By these measures, the second term of Trump is a travesty.

Americans put in the Oval Office a man who does not give a damn about the Constitution or the rule of law, but only about consolidating power & wealth for himself & his cronies. Every day we can see the fateful consequences of this disaster--and We the People must decide how long we'll tolerate it.

The level of criminality in the Republican Party is off the charts. Trump just pardoned a Nevada politician who raised money for a statue of a slain police officer but spent it on cosmetic surgery instead. Trump gives his co-conspirators a license to steal.

Every member of the administration should resign; every Republican in the Senate should demand immediate impeachment and removal. It is not an exaggeration or hyperbole to say that he is an authoritarian bent on destroying American democracy.

I have a lot of experience using words like "oligarchy" or "kleptocracy" to massive crowds -- and not only do folks not mind, they love learning the etymology. Kleptocracy = rule by/power of thieves. Democracy = rule by/power of the people. That "krat" ending helps folks contemplate a lot of words!

This line is catching on among the conservative influencers: unless SCOTUS backs down, Trump will be forced to suspend the constitution and declare the US a dictatorship, and it'll be all their fault.

Intuit donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration. He's now planning to end the free IRS Direct File program. Apple donated $1M. Trump exempted most of Apple’s imports from tariffs. Coinbase donated $1M. Trump’s SEC dropped a major lawsuit against them. See how this works?
