Screenshot of a tweet by Headquarters (@HQNewsNow) reporting that the Trump administration ended an $11 million Catholic Charities contract providing care and shelter for unaccompanied migrant children, noting the cancellation came after Pope Leo criticized Trump's war in Iran. The post includes a split image of Trump seated beneath an American flag in dramatic lighting, and Pope Leo XIV in white papal vestments.

That light fixture placement behind him is so apt.

my conspiracy theory is wall street is doing everything it can to keep everything from collapsing until dems take the house and senate so they can blame the implosion on them

Not content to have notched 6 business bankruptcies, trump is now trying to bankrupt the world.

The Temptations of the 25th Amendment Convicted Felon Donald Trump is unfit, unkempt, and unfortunately the President

Katie Phang delivers a clear-eyed, no-nonsense look at the 25th Amendment—and why its most explosive provision may no longer feel theoretical.

It always breaks my heart when it's a vaccine-preventable illness.

An Army Shake-Up in the Middle of a War A general is ousted and the Army secretary is in jeopardy, sources say.

Seems that JD Vance is promoting his college roommate, Daniel P Driscoll, now secretary of the army, to replace Hegseth—so Hegseth is preparing a preemptive strike. What a nest of vipers this place is. And that in the midst of a war. These are the most unserious people ever to sit atop the Pentagon

And the GOP's war on women continues.

it’s not surprising exactly but it is still shocking just how fast we’ve moved from “woke was excessive” framing to open and explicit white male supremacy

Draft the kids of every congressman who voted for this BS first, then send those ice agents since they seem to like playing army.

Post by Stew Peters claiming Karoline Leavitt said Trump might institute a military draft, with a Fox News split-screen interview showing Leavitt speaking with another host about possible U.S. troops being sent to Iran.
