Feb 3 Scripture Twice in the same breath Jesus says, "How hard it is for those who have wealth to enter the Kingdom of God!" (Mk 10:23-24). And it is even harder for those who have wealth, use their wealth to create structures for oppressing the poor/immigrants/refugees, but claim to be Christians.

Our stock market is crashing. Our economy is contracting. Our government is dismantling. Our allies are fleeing. Our grocery prices are rising. But at least we now call it "The Gulf of America." So it all evens out.

Watching these two pro-Putin traitors - in the Oval Office - attack an ally of America who is simply defending his country against an unprovoked Russian invasion was absolutely shameful. A truly rock bottom moment for our nation - but I think we all know these two will take us down further.

Just as tobacco companies deceived the public about the dangers of nicotine, Big Oil deceived the public about the dangers of fossil fuels. California is suing them big time, after a suit in Hawaii has gained traction. calmatters.org/environment/...

NEW: A source tells me that response teams for FEMA set to deploy to the South Carolina wildfires are unable to travel because their government issued travel cards have had their limits reduced to $1. FEMA response team cards were supposed to be exempt.

Republican Greg Murphy was asked point-blank if Veterans would lose their benefits due to GOP cuts. His answer? “No, I can’t guarantee anything.” This is the Republican Party under Trump: shrugging off the well-being of Veterans while pushing reckless cuts.

Lindsey Graham is the definition of a weak, sniveling, gutless opportunist — an unprincipled political weather vane who grovels before power with embarrassing desperation. A hollow man with no convictions, no integrity, and no spine, shifting his loyalties whenever it serves his personal interests.

If the US cuts funding for Ukraine, it will have nothing to do with Zelenskyy and everything to do with Trump's weakness. Trump has no plans to end the war and WILL NOT standup to Putin. I wrote the US would cut support to Ukraine in the epilogue of my new book written just days after the election.

It needs to be more plainly stated that Russia's goals are to destroy the West, including the U.S., that Donald Trump and JD Vance, as recipients of intelligence reports, are perfectly aware that these are Russia's goals, & that Trump and Vance are doing what they are doing w/ this knowledge in hand

Putin can’t believe his luck. Here is Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov on Trump: “The new administration is fast changing all foreign policy configurations…This coincides with our vision in many ways.” Trump now backs dictatorship, not democracy. We cannot allow that to stand.

With Musk’s current level of data access, he or his goons could modify or delete data. eg. they could modify your benefit payout for Social Security so printing a benefit statement would be a prudent decision. Ht @mockingjaysongs.bsky.social #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

Red states-pay attention, because you’ll get hit hardest! They’re gutting NOAA to privatize weather forecasting. Knowledge is power—forecasting is knowledge. Fossil fuel execs rake in billions while the planet chokes—folks keep guzzling gas & won’t notice the climate crisis while the world burns.
