The Inflation Reduction Act was the single most aggressive investment in rural America since the New Deal.
Direct investment, high wage jobs, energy security, you name it. It was all there.
Too bad it happened 200 years ago and all the records of it are lost forever.
Absolutely correct. We need to intentionally build our muscle to think and not let our amygdala hijack us. Chapter 10 of my book, Freedom of Mind goes into my 3 step intervention to cure human generated phobias! It is fixable! www.theguardian.com/books/2026/a...

@timothysnyder.bsky.social has been warning us since 2016 about Trump. He knows: he’s one of world’s leading experts on authoritarianism & always ahead of the game.
V proud to publish him in @thenerve.news. He’s an essential voice.

Missed the Pope subtweeting the Trump administration:
Every crack in the MAGA base increases the chances GOP electeds will speak out to save their own skin, right before this band of brigands get swept from Congress in November. 10 years of this crap finally feels like it’s near the end. Turns out woke liberal tears don’t pay for gas and bills!
Why Harvard of course, but since I’m “not that smart” he would magnanimously accept Johns Hopkins or Stanford but nothing less 😂 He still tells me how disappointed he is that I was “only salutatorian” … when I graduated high school nearly 25 years ago 😅
I “retired” in my mid-30s. My dad still reminds me it’s not too late to go to medical school.
Truly miss his Presidency.
I've never forgotten where I came from.
And I've never stopped fighting for the families who are still working toward the California Dream.
That's why I'm running for Governor.
every week a man with a microphone discovers Marcus Aurelius and thinks he’s invented the concept of not freaking out
Invariably that man has never read any of the Meditations.
i will vote for any candidate who offers up this slogan
NEW: “Arrest as many people that touch you as you want to," Gregory Bovino told Border Patrol officers in 2025.
But a review of hundreds of such arrests shows that charges brought against protesters and bystanders repeatedly fell apart under scrutiny.

How did Magyar win? A long running grassroots campaign in rural and small town Hungary; a refusal to be distracted by government propaganda; a focus on economic issues and corruption; a central promise to bring back democracy and the rule of law
“He will set up a counterchurch... It will have all the notes and characteristics of the Church, but in reverse and emptied of its divine content. It will be a mystical body of the Antichrist that will in all externals resemble the mystical body of Christ.”
Bishop Fulton J. Sheen (1951)

“He will tempt Christians with the same three temptations with which he tempted Christ... He will have one great secret which he will tell to no one: he will not believe in God. Because his religion will be brotherhood without the fatherhood of God, he will deceive even the elect.”

“The Antichrist will not be so called; otherwise he would have no followers... he will come disguised as the Great Humanitarian; he will talk peace, prosperity and plenty not as means to lead us to God, but as ends in themselves...”

“Let no one deceive you […]. For unless the apostasy comes first and the lawless one is revealed, the one doomed to perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god and object of worship, so as to seat himself in the temple of God, claiming that he is a god“
2 Thessalonians 2:3-4
WASHINGTON - Archbishop Paul S. Coakley, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops issued a brief response to a social media post by President Trump on Sunday evening. "I am disheartened that the President chose to write such disparaging words about the Holy Father. Pope Leo is not his rival; nor is the Pope a politician. He is the Vicar of Christ who speaks from the truth of the Gospel and for the care of souls."

VIKTOR ORBÀN CAN STILL WIN IF MIKE PENCE HAS THE COURAGE.
Cardinal McElroy: “We entered this war not out of necessity but rather choice…Each of these policy failures is equally a moral failure which under Catholic just war principles renders both the initiation of this war and any continuation of it morally illegitimate.” www.cathstan.org/voices/text-...
Pope Leo: “War divides; hope unites. Arrogance tramples upon others; love lifts up. Idolatry blinds us; the living God enlightens.”
Awesome! I had promised a Redemptorist family friend that I’d cook Southeast Asian food for the priests when I visit the Generalate in Rome next.
Padre are there any Filipino grocery stores in Rome? Here in the LA area there are a number of grocery stores, though I went to Seafood City only for the miki noodles that went into my La Paz batchoy today. Homemade chicharon is so messy but is so good as a topping.
Today marks 58 years since the Civil Rights Act of 1968 was signed into law by Lyndon B. Johnson, prohibiting discrimination in the sale, rental, and financing of housing.
It combated practices like redlining, which denied Black Americans access to mortgages and homeownership.
Thank you Congressman Clyburn for reminding us of what the US was capable of and what we are still capable of if we fight for it. Thank you for all that you do!
Remember the “pallets of cash” GOP yelled about for months before 2016 election? Or the 28 months GOP used deaths of 4 Americans in Benghazi for political witch hunt?
Trump just agreed to give Iran *15x* vis a vis Obama “pallets of cash.”
There has already been *4 Benghazis* in less than 40 days.
The three most remarkable papal tweets — ever?
But conveniently Iran can guide ships through a “safe route,” for a $2M fee. Which means the Strait of Hormuz is still closed to free navigation.
Trump is full of shit.
