Vance Says the Pope Should Be More Careful When Talking About Theology

While we’re talking about this story & Trump posting a pic of himself as Jesus, we’re no longer talking about Melania’s presser and the Epstein files, or new revelations about the DOGE corruption. “Vance Says the Pope Should Be More Careful When Talking About Theology www.nytimes.com/2026/04/14/u...

Karen Finney (@karenfinney1) This Isn’t Grown-Up Diplomacy “Grown-up diplomacy” shouldn’t be a high bar for a U.S. president. Yet on Easter morning, Trump fired off a vulgar rant on social media threatening Iran using the F-bomb...

Having worked for a First Lady who also tried to shut down a bad story- yes - you know it’s bad when they send FLOTUS out. Which is only a good strategy if the message answers more questions than it raises…

Note that his comments come just after reports the GOP looking at cuts to healthcare to fund Trump’s war.

The father of deceased Tech. Sgt. Tyler H. Simmons said this is not true:

"When he spoke to me, that was not something we talked about."

Not to mention that the $200M Noem spent on an ad campaign could have paid the salaries of about 4,000 TSA agents for a year.

Be clear: Trump is leveraging pain and suffering of TSA workers, travelers, airport & airline workers; deploying the ICE terror campaign from MN to airports across the country - to prevent accountability for his personal militia & control the 2026 election. thehill.com/homenews/adm...

More than you can count on your hands and toes. Donald Trump is racist. Full stop. Being racist is wrong and evil. That is a moral conclusion based on values not a partisan political slur, which is how his racism is usually treated.

First we have to ensure there is an election.

Sacred Ground or Enforcement Zone? ICE Raids Test Church Community in Charlotte During a Saturday service project at Casa de Dios church, a normal day of cooking, clearing the woods, and children play

Trump and Bondi have said houses of worship are so sacred journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort were arrested by Federal agents last night for doing their constitutionally protected jobs - reporting the news and yet it’s fine for ICE to invade places of worship:

This just in from Amnesty International: "U.S. authorities must immediately release journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort. Journalism is not a crime. Reporting on protests is not a crime. Arresting journalists for their reporting is a clear example of an authoritarian practice."

US ICE agents going to Winter Olympics sparks anger in Italy U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement personnel will help protect U.S. delegations at next month's Winter Olympics in Italy, causing a political uproar in the country.

Italy should deny entry to ICE agents, they can’t be trusted, more likely to cause harm than do good based on what we’ve seen and know about how they treat people in their custody: “US ICE agents going to Winter Olympics sparks anger in Italy - www.reuters.com/sports/us-ic...

The Admin is now saying they are willing to stop killing innocent people if MN turns over its voter rolls - which has nothing to do with Immigration enforcement or fraud.

Rest in Peace Alex.

This is Trump’s legacy - MN encapsulates the chaos, pain and abuse of power against innocent people and our constitution. We cannot let this stand. If you voted for Trump he is doing this in YOUR name.

Live: Man shot and killed by federal agents in south Minneapolis this morning, police chief says A video appears to shows federal agents wrestling a man to the ground then shooting him.

The Star Tribune reports that federal agents "attempted to order local police from the scene" where a man was shot and killed by feds this morning, but Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara refused and "instructed his officers to preserve the scene."

I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, “It’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity

A coworker took this from her apartment. I haven't seen a crowd this size before. Maybe the first Women's March? But it was much much warmer that day. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!

This is Trump’s America, enabled by a feckless GOP.

in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today

Thank you!

“We Killed That Lesbian B*tch”: ICE Uses Renee Good’s Death as Threat Protesters are recounting federal agents using Good’s death to warn them off.

ICE officers are publicly stating that Renee Good was killed not because an officer was threatened but because they were mad at her for not instantly following every order issued.

The new ICE threat:

"Have you not learned? This is why we killed that lesbian bitch."
