The problem is men.

Truly remarkable how many people have told the Pope, in some way or another, to "shut up and dribble." Or corrected him on the Bible, despite their thin education on theology. Or told him to stay out of US affairs, despite him being a US citizen. The hubris is amazing.

KERNEN: We'd never be able to send anyone back if you needed a judicial warrant every single time

RAND PAUL: Well, I don't think that's true. Obeying the 4th Amendment of the Constitution shouldn't be too difficult. It's something we fought the revolution over.

Attached is a video of the Pope saying that we should search for peace and reject war.

A community note under their tweet says: "You are not a Catholic if you do not accept the Pope, but rather a schismatic.

Canon 751: “Schism is the refusal of submission to the Supreme Pontiff,” ie. the Pope.

Child care that ends at 3 p.m. doesn't work for many working families. So we're changing it.

This fall, our 2-K program will pilot year-round care for 2-year-olds, with a full 10-hour day from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Because truly "universal" child care matches the reality of working people's lives.

Keep in mind that everywhere ICE is, your local police have failed you, and abandoned their oath to serve and protect. Zero Ice officers have been arrested. They assault, the kidnap, they kill, and they all walk free. Your local police treat ICE as above the law. The betrayal of duty is staggering.

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it.

This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.

This is why we need impartial investigations. Trump’s left hand cannot investigate his right hand.

Accountability brings consequences.

And consequences are the only language corruption understands.

Money and political power do not outrank the Constitution.

They just need a wake up call and it’s coming at the midterms.👇

What does it say about a Florida state government, supposedly governing for the people, when said state government is suing/will sue the NFL to stop interviewing minorities. Not hire, interview.
This is how comically desperate these fools are now.

Worst flooding in 20 years hits Hawaii; evacuations say 'LEAVE NOW' The flooding comes amid kona storms, Hawaii's winter cyclones. All of the islands are under a flood watch until the afternoon of March 22.

Amid the other consternating news this one has received rather little attention: catastrophic flooding in Hawaiʻi and the "imminent" threat of a dam failure in northern Oahu, apparently since eased. www.usatoday.com/story/news/w...

McGovern: He’s doing nothing to make healthcare more accessible. They say we don’t have the money—but we have a billion dollars a day to blow on this crazy war. I don’t think he gives a shit about the American people. Gas prices are skyrocketing, and he’s golfing.
