Trump says Canadians want to be the 51st State. Why? In every fucking category of life they are far better off than we are! Trump is a FUCKING LIAR. But you all knew that. ===============

1. Jose Hermosillo is US citizen who was wrongly jailed in an immigration detention facility for 10 days The administration says he "turned himself in" to the Border Patrol and told them he was a Mexican who crossed the border illegally. I interviewed Hermosillo. He says the government is lying.

See when they call you a lefty loon or a woke tree hugger. It's says more about them than you. To have these labels should be a badge of honour. It means you are a decent human being..💝

Six of nine members of SCOTUS are graduates of private Catholic schools, and that fact by itself tells you more about the likely outcome than any case law.

Trump/MAGA are only screwing themselves by digging in for Hegseth. By defining keeping him as "defeating the Fake News," they've only tied themselves to his towering unfitness. The scandals will get uglier. On the pod, @juliettekayyem.bsky.social really nails this: newrepublic.com/article/1942...

It’s quite clear at this point that Trump is intentionally trying to harm America’s economy and our global standing. The damage is so broad and so deep that it simply can’t be accidental or inadvertent — it MUST be deliberate. The only question is: WHY?

Because the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer, and when that happens we become more collectively primed by fear to embrace supremacy and fascism. It won't work for a while here, but eventually it probably will. The press doesn't even directly call it out for what it is.

Workers who track data on car crashes, drownings, traumatic brain injury, falls in the elderly, and other perils lost their jobs. Advocates worry life-saving work will stop.

The power of Pope Francis’ heroic example reached far beyond the Vatican. I keep his second encyclical, Laudato Si’, at my desk. It is a document for the ages, with words of care for the planet—our common home. I join people of every faith as we mourn a loss for all of us.

My deeply Catholic mother said to me today, "On Easter our dear lord died beside two criminals. The Pope had to sit with J. D. Vance in his final hours." Burn.

you can find things to quibble with in every Francis piece, but I picked this one to share because I feel like everything everyone is saying about him boils down to this: he was a Jesuit, through & through. I'll remember the times he made the church feel just a little bit bigger, if not big enough.
