Pope Francis wasn't trying to call out Donald Trump's hateful crackdown on immigrants and his war against clean energy — that was still years away. But Francis' 2015 climate change encyclical, "Laudato Si," is more relevant now than ever. My column for @latimes.com: www.latimes.com/environment/...

Commentary: Pope Francis was a climate hero. Trump’s reign gives his words extra meaning. Sammy Roth’s article is an extraordinary eulogy for Pope Francis. “We can all care for our common home’.

Just keep in mind: The day will come when America is no longer held hostage by a sociopath, a convicted felon, an arsonist and a vengeful, narcissistic sadist who revels in the pain and suffering of others and builds his fortune on the ruins of public liberty. May it come soon.

www.nytimes.com/2025/04/20/b... just because you see problems w/ economies doesn’t mean that destroying them is the solution. Peter Navarro is willing to damage the US economy via tariffs for a long term goal that might not even exist.

8m Today the White House openly mocked federal judges who unanimously ordered the return of a wrongfully deported Maryland resident. We are at the cusp of a constitutional crisis.

Trump said he would end the war in Ukraine in a day. Now the US via Rubio says it will move on from peace negotiations if no progress. Another of Trump’s failed promises. These are piling up.

Trumpers would be wise to reconsider their assault on the rule of law. B/c one day, if they are not careful, someone might anonymously denounce them or throw them in prison without a trial. That’s what happens when you break norms. You never know what might happen next once the guardrails are off.

Oh save it Murkowski. You've enabled, justified, deflected, and helped get to this moment because you have always been scared that the GOP boys would come for you. If that's all you got, you need to retire. You do nothing for anyone but yourself. And without Yertle to shield you?

Forget about the legal case. A man was wrongly deported and placed in a notorious prison with leaders of a gang out to get him. Anyone with an ounce of basic human decency would fix the mistake and return that man to the United States

A president who has the power to send an innocent human being to a foreign concentration camp, but claims he lacks the power to bring them back, is committing the crime of false imprisonment.

They are snatching people off the street and sending them away to brutal prisons in foreign lands with zero due process - and they won't even bring them back when they realize a mistake was made. That's frightening stuff for any American who actually loves their country. #StopTrumpsTerror

"The implication...is that not only noncitizens but also U.S. citizens could be taken off the streets, forced onto planes, and confined to foreign prisons with no opportunity for redress if judicial review is denied unlawfully before removal. History is no stranger to such lawless regimes..."

The idea that countries are looking to negotiate with Trump on tariffs means they don’t understand Trump. He wants them to crawl to him on their knees & beg. That’s how Trump sees this. Trump’s tariffs are the mafia’s “do what I want or I kill your family.” www.politico.com/news/magazin...
