The Trump administration has canceled a long-running $11 million grant to Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Miami, sparking rumors of retaliation amid the president's public criticism of Pope Leo XIV. Here's what we know about the decision and its timing: www.snopes.com/news/2026/04...
it’s a great day for transphobes to eat shit
"The masters of war pretend not to know that it takes only a moment to destroy, yet a lifetime is often not enough to rebuild. They turn a blind eye to the fact that billions of dollars are spent on killing and devastation, yet the resources needed for healing, education and restoration are nowhere to be found." -Pope Leo XIV
This particularly resonates with me, when I see our precious science infrastructure get dismantled.
We have long road to recovery when Russel Vought et al. are out.
So much damage has been done within one year.
Kash Patel is suing the Atlantic, because what you really want to do is open up discovery to a bunch of investigative journalists.
Any of the men been forced to resign yet?
We asked people who lived in homeless encampments that were cleared out in city “sweeps” to write about what object was the hardest for them to lose.
“They took my baby pictures and my moms obituaries,” a man in California wrote.

My husband just got home from 8 days in hospital after major abdominal surgery, and your story is touching a lot of triggers for me. (He was in Salem MGB.)
🧵 The MAGA Congress that voted for a trillion dollars in Medicaid cuts will never be catheterized by a new grad on a float pool. They will receive VIP care for the rest of their lives while voting to make ours worse. This piece traces the full chain from DC to the bedside.
🧵 This isn't a story about a bad nurse. It's a story about a staffing model that put a new grad on a float pool because Tufts Medicine is hemorrhaging money, because 67% of its patients are on Medicaid, because OBBBA just cut a trillion dollars from the program. (Oh and the CEO took a 32% raise.)
🧵 New post: "How MAHA Fucked Up My Surgery"
I was catheterized by 2 new graduate nurses (one of whom had never done the procedure on a patient before), using incorrect technique, without adequate pain control, after a delay that doubled my volume past the hospital's own intervention threshold
I’m from Shreveport. I wrote about the tragic murders of these kiddos.

Keep this in mind next time Dreher opines on welfare, the state, and minorities.
This is a war based on lies
baseball is the only American sport that would react this way to a goose, which speaks to both the best and worst about baseball
As good as little me remembered. Professionals request the dip cover the top of the cone, to avoid drips.
What does he even mean??
-The reprehensible Bondi, Chavez-DeRemer, and Noem are gone.
-The reprehensible Hegseth, Patel, and RFK Jr. stay.
-Women were always gonna be the first to get slapped around by the abusive convicted felon.
How long do you give him?
I say 8 minutes.
Tim Cook donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration.
He fawned over Trump and gifted him a 24-karat gold plaque (as Apple lobbied for tariff exemptions).
Apple donated to Trump’s White House ballroom.
And it removed ICE tracking apps from its stores following a demand from the DOJ.
Remember this.
Read the very well-sourced article that made an unhinged Kash Patel sue The Atlantic for a ridiculous $250 million, like a psycho 👇

I support this
Fascism ALWAYS requires a public enemy.
Republicans in Congress will expand their list of targets - little by little, hoping you do not notice - until their is no one left to stand against their agenda.
Classic.
The Democrats are doing everything possible to hurt the very strong position we are in with respect to Iran. Despite World War I lasting 4 years, 3 months, and 14 days, World War II lasting 6 years and 1 day, the Korean War lasting 3 years, 1 month, and 2 days, the Vietnam War lasting 19 years, 5 months, and 29 days, and Iraq lasting 8 years, 8 months, and 28 days, they like to say that I promised 6 weeks to defeat Iran, and actually, from the Military standpoint, it was far faster than that, but I’m not going to let them rush the United States into making a Deal that is not as good as it could have been. I read the Fake News saying that I am under “pressure” to make a Deal. THIS IS NOT TRUE! I am under no pressure whatsoever, although, it will all happen, relatively quickly! Time is not my adversary, the only thing that matters is that we finally, after 47 years, straighten out the MESS that other Presidents let happen because they didn’t have the Courage or Foresight to do what had to be done with respect to Iran. We’re in it, and it will be done RIGHT, and we won’t let the Weak and Pathetic Democrats, TRAITORS ALL, who for years have been talking about the Dangers of Iran, and that something has to be done, but now, since I’m the one doing it, belittle the accomplishments of our Military and the Trump Administration. This is being perfectly executed, on the scale of Venezuela, just a bigger, more complex operation. The result will be the same. In my First Term, I built the Greatest Military our Country has ever seen, including adding Space Force. In my Second Term, I am properly and judiciously using our Military to solve problems left to us by others of far less understanding or competence. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP
lol he's having a war meltdown
This is also eugenics, which is now a mainstream view among Republicans
Sen. Peter Welch (D-VT): "Jeffrey Clark was indicted in Georgia, pushed out of DOJ for his unethical conduct, and the D.C. bar has recommended he lose his law license. The best they’ve got is a conspiracy theorist…it’s a joke.”
One of the Sandy Hook families lives in hiding 1500 mi away from their baby’s grave due to people stalking them.
The graves of multiple children have been defaced.
One of the fathers had to submit DNA evidence to prove his son was a REAL HUMAN BEING after Alex Jones’ book said he never existed.
A mass shooting that took the lives of eight children should stop this country in its tracks. Instead, the Shreveport tragedy disappeared from the headlines in a day. We cannot allow this level of violence to fade into background noise. Ending America’s gun‑violence epidemic is a moral oblligation.
181 targeted civilians with zero evidenced justification makes Trump & Hegseth the most prolific serial killers in US history
