In my hyper conservative churches growing up, I was always warned about liberalism but never far right authoritarianism. I was always warned about socialism but never predatory capitalism. I was always warned about feminism but never misogyny. I was always warned about homosexuality but never about abuse in the church. I was always warned about Islamic extremists, but never Christian nationalism. Imagine what American Christianity would look like today if it had focused on its own sins.

There was a time when the president inspired pride instead of exhaustion. I miss that more than I can say.

Thank you for your courage to publicly address abusive language.

“Freest” for who, @MarshaBlackburn?

This.

Unilateral tariffs ruled illegal.
Millions of Americans struggling to get by.
Epstein Survivors waiting for justice.
A President threatening war with Iran.

What are Republicans running next week? Two home appliance bills repealing energy efficiency standards. That is the state of our union.

If a Prince can be held accountable, so can a President.

Well done, #JesseJackson Rest in peace and power.

Judge blocks Pentagon from downgrading Sen. Mark Kelly's military rank, pay A judge banned the Trump administration from taking adverse action against Kelly after he and other Democratic lawmakers urged military members to "refuse illegal orders."

It's our constitutional right to criticize the government without facing retaliation.

WATCH — @balint.house.gov on the unredacted Epstein files: “There’s a bunch of sick fucks… so many people knew…. Trump never kicked Epstein out of Mar-A-Lago. That’s a lie.”

A picture of bad bunny with the word love

Bad Bunny understood the assignment…

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

NEW EPSTEIN SURVIVORS AD: “3 million files still not released — stand with us. Tell AG Pam Bondi to release the files. It’s time for the truth.”

Bad Bunny: “The only thing more powerful than hate is love.”

That was one joyous halftime show.

Finneas and Billie

Finneas is better at political messaging than 99% of the Democratic consultants in DC.

For those keeping score at home:

To all the Minnesotans who are making their voices heard and protesting peacefully:

The world is watching, and when change comes, it will be because of you.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Sweet angel.

Wow— “Cardinal Tobin told hundreds of faithful gathered online that now is the time to say no — no to violence, no to indifference, and no to funding the U.S. government’s own “machinery of death.”

It appears that this legend owns a little bookstore — and you can order books from him instead of Bezos. Link in next post.

They owe her, and all of us, an apology.

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

Mood in minneapolis right now

Don’t let this White House lie to you. Believe what you see.

Alex Pretti was trying to help a woman off the ground. Then immigration agents tackled, shot, and killed him.

It’s time for them to get the hell out of MN.

It’s not just that they are murdering people who are peacefully protesting, it’s that they then stand in front of the cameras and slander the victims by telling us that what we see on the videos didn’t happen.

Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him.

The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/
