“And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength.” ‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭6‬:‭5‬ ‭NLT‬‬ bible.com/bible/116/de...

The Trump administration's drive to eradicate a small amount of fraud in Social Security is risking the agency's longstanding mission to serve the public, current and former Social Security Administration officials tell Axios.

Good morning, beloved. Hope is a powerful fuel. Today is a great day to overcome evil with good.

Just like dismantling, the Department of Education will hurt rural schools the most, these Social Security requirements will hurt rural seniors the most. Why are they doing this? To empty out rural spaces and replace small towns with corporate farms and allow them pollute with impunity.

According to MAGA, if you hit a car with a baseball bat because you don’t like the company’s owner you’re a “terrorist”, but if you hit a Capitol police officer with a baseball bat because you don’t like the results of an election, you’re a “patriot.” Do I have that just about right?

“Work hard so you can present yourself to God and receive his approval. Be a good worker, one who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly explains the word of truth.” ‭‭2 Timothy‬ ‭2‬:‭15‬ ‭NLT‬‬ bible.com/bible/116/2t...

WSJ: Investors Who Were All In on U.S. Stocks Are Starting to Look Elsewhere Look what Trump did to Biden’s winning economy that was the envy of the world.

“The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure.” ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭10‬:‭13‬ ‭NLT‬‬ bible.com/bible/116/1c...

The measles outbreak has now entered 11 states, with more than 350 reported cases. Public health officials say the actual number is likely much higher. RFK Jr still refuses to tell people to get vaccinated. The Trump regime is so dangerous! 

Important. Either Trump is so far gone mentally he doesn’t know what he’s doing, or people are acting in his name without his knowledge. This was an order with enormous implications, and the President of the United States says he didn’t do it.

The thing about Trump’s team is that we learn how many morally bankrupt, marginally intelligent, men of utterly average substance have walked among us, seemingly successful, running money-making firms, CEOs and venture capitalists - even the richest man in the world. They have been unmasked.

Perfect description.

Casar: You can quickly explain Doge with just two numbers. First: $8 million a day. That’s how much Elon Musk collects in federal government contracts. Second: $65 a day. That’s how much the average senior—someone who has worked their entire life—gets from Social Security.…

“Then Jesus said to them, “The Sabbath was made to meet the needs of people, and not people to meet the requirements of the Sabbath.” ‭‭Mark‬ ‭2‬:‭27‬ ‭NLT‬‬ bible.com/bible/116/mr...

The bill removes many benefits, such as immunizations and food assistance for children, that had been available to undocumented people here in Idaho. It’s like they are trying to compete to see how inhumane they can be. “For I was a stranger and you did not welcome me.” -Jesus

Shameful

Truth 😬

Russia kidnaps Ukrainian children and gives them to Russians to erase their heritage and demoralize Ukraine. Over 20,000 so far. And the US just stopped helping track these kids and likely deleted the database of all the research. Pure evil, right maga?

You think it’s an accident Tesla sales are down almost 80% in Germany? They know what his salute meant.

It looks like Tesla needs DOGE's services to find fraud and waste Tesla (TSLA) accounting raises red flags as report shows $1.4 billion missing electrek.co/2025/03/19/t...

Good morning, beloved. Thoughts lead to words, and words lead to actions. Actions form habits, and habits show character. Character is a powerful thing. Today is a great day to overcome evil with good.

The truth that all scripture is inspired by God does not at all mean that *only* scripture is inspired by God. Before a single word of scripture was recorded, God first breathed into humanity. There is inspiration all around you, beloved.

“And don’t forget to do good and to share with those in need. These are the sacrifices that please God.” ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭13‬:‭16‬ ‭NLT‬‬ bible.com/bible/116/he...

There's really no reason for media outlets to not label these purges as white supremacist policy. It is explicit at this point.

#ElonMusk is spending millions to elect Brad Schimel to the WI Supreme Court because he knows Brad's for sale. Clearly, Musk wants the state's highest court to rule in favor of MAGA billionaires—instead of everyday Wisconsinites. Vote Susan Crawford by April 1! #CrawfordForCourt #StopShadySchimel

“In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God.” ‭‭John‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬ ‭NLT‬‬ bible.com/bible/116/jh...

Everything we have stood around the world going back 80 years - collective security, honoring alliances, helping friends & allies, feeding the hungry, treating & curing diseases, humanitarian aid, the rule of law, broadcasting truthful news to people who can’t get it - all gone.

New from PP: The Trump admin abandoned cleanup of an Agent Orange site in Vietnam. A place we poisoned. Trump admin won't pay the bills . “Halting a project like that in the middle of the work, that’s an environmental crime,” said one expert. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

Hard to explain how angry I am about this this morning.

Rural person with a congressman who hasn’t had a townhall in over a decade: no one is being paid to show up to empty townhalls. We are angry and we finally have enough others who are angry too. We finally have the numbers to fill up gymnasiums and libraries. We don’t need a dime to show up.

The next phase of our walk to autocracy is that they will go after the courts, deny their legitimacy, attack judges personally, and openly defy and ignore court orders.

I wrote about the hearing that may determine whether Trump is able to corrupt the legal profession: “The president, Judge Howell concluded is entitled to his beliefs, preferred causes & dislikes but he can’t target lawyers representing his political opponents” joycevance.substack.com/p/yesterday-...

Good morning, beloved. Love is more than a feeling. It is the commitment to wholeness. It is action. Today is a great day to overcome evil with good.

“If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking.” ‭‭James‬ ‭1‬:‭5‬ ‭NLT‬‬ bible.com/bible/116/ja...

The Education Department’s civil rights branch is losing nearly half its staff in the Trump administration’s layoffs, effectively gutting an office that already faced a backlog of thousands of complaints from students and families across the nation. kstp.com/associated-p...

This should terrify every person in this country. The use of machine learning systems to approximate an individuals views on war and then, if they are here lawfully on a visa, tag them for deportation is about as sci-fi dystopian as it gets. www.axios.com/2025/03/06/s...

“Elon has to go. The CNN poll is basically right. Our numbers are sinking. The boss is down to 45 percent approval and Elon’s at 35 percent. He’s killing us. Thirty percent of our own supporters don’t like him. Anyway, Elon’s our problem, not the Democrats.” www.thebulwark.com/p/plot-again...
