The President of the US has one job: execute the laws passed by Congress. But #Trump thinks his job is to make law and, in so doing, he has been breaking laws.

That any of us have to care about the messy breakup of these two massive narcissists — and that they both individually wield such massive power — is an indictment of our political system and further proves the poisonous influence of Big Money on our democracy.

Even for atheists, this message from Pope Leo XIV is understandable and deserving of repetition: You cannot follow both Christ and the cruelty of kings. A leader who mocks the weak, exalts himself, and preys on the innocent is not sent by God. He is sent to test you. And many are failing.

Trump's big beautiful bill expands the estate tax exemption yet again. While millions will get kicked off healthcare and lose crucial food assistance, Republicans are enabling the super-rich to pass down their obscene wealth virtually tax free. We must stop this bill.

Good morning to everyone but the most corrupt president to ever exist, who is at this moment selling out his nation to the funders of terrorism so his boy can sign another $2 billion deal. Oh and Tom Holman

RIP PopeFrancis. He was the only great leader of the last decade. A man of faith, spirituality, compassion, love, and common sense. He reminded all Christians of the true nature and beauty of Christ's teachings. He will be missed. Finding his successor will be difficult. #PopeFrancis

So now #Trump is telling the #IRS to revoke #Harvard's tax exempt status because they won't bend the knee. How about doing the same to other schools that do have agendas like Liberty U and Bob Jones? Or the 501(c)4s that are the source of all the dark $$ in elections?
