The United States Supreme Court, in the eyes of America and the world.

@NormOrnstein Spying on friends and foes alike is par for the course
But I do wonder what they hope to get. The Pope has no army or trade policy worth studying.
English
That ought to help with Catholic voters

NEW: Ken Klippenstein has published a report confirming that U.S. intelligence agencies have, for years, been spying on the Vatican — and that President Donald Trump’s April 12 broadside against Pope Leo XIV has now turned that surveillance into an operational priority. According to Klippenstein’s reporting, when Trump declared Leo “terrible for foreign policy,” “the U.S. intelligence community took the president’s remarks as a directive to prioritize spying on the Vatican.” thelettersfromleo.com/p/report-trump…

@ChristopherHale My guess is he is going to. Have part time allies from both the left and te right side of his church depending on. The issue. Individuals on both sides may revere him but will choose to accept and reject what he says at their convenience.
English
@ChristopherHale I don’t particularly care the Pope has anything relevant to say to anyone outside of his church. Our elected officials take an oath to uphold the Constitution, not the Catechism, Bible, Torah, Koran or any other text.

NEW: Pope Leo XIV says that the Catholic Church’s teaching on sexual ethics must be less prioritized over “greater, more important issues.”
“We tend to think that when the Church is talking about morality, that the only issue of morality is sexual. And in reality, I believe there are much greater, more important issues, such as justice, equality, freedom of men and women, freedom of religion, that would all take priority before that particular issue.”

@NormOrnstein The perfect response is to shut us out as the pariahs we’ve become
English
@AdamKinzinger Considering how the Kangaroo Court will rule we may need a Constitutional Amendment to do that and to ban a lot of the thugs Trump has been allowed to do by this court. In fact perhaps we’ve reached the point where we ref to add seats and pack it.
English
Legit question. Now that we all see how self defeating and dumb gerrymandering is, how about we pass a nationwide ban on it to take effect in the 2030 census?
English
@Kasparov63 Time for simply cancel the meeting and hold their own without the US or Russia.

Every civilized nation should state now that they will not attend if Putin’s invitation is not rescinded. Trump has made it clear whose side he’s on—always Russia's—but the free world must not go along with his attempts to rehabilitate a murderous dictator & enemy of the West.
English
Russia is mass murdering Ukrainian civilians every day. Putin is a wanted war criminal whose terrorist nation systematically kidnaps children by the thousands, tortures and rapes in occupied lands, and is now trying to hide mass graves. If Putin comes, America has fallen.
Phillips P. OBrien@PhillipsPOBrien
Russian Foreign Ministry has officially stated that Trump/USA has invited Putin to go to the G20 summit. The US is working overtime to rehabilitate the Russian dictator and European states need to take this into consideration. kyivindependent.com/russia-claims-…

@TeeBeeAllIn @Timodc @RpsAgainstTrump Now that’s the true message behind this pic. Some of the cultists on here are other stupid or really stupid to be taking Tim literally.

@Timodc @RpsAgainstTrump Women always stand behind the men in this administration.

Wow the White House has gone woke and is now celebrating men succeeding in women’s sports.

Very much agree with this. Would just reformulate it slightly to:
“Choosing to get on board with every instance of Trump moral rot is the actual Trump Derangement Syndrome.”

Trump is still mad that mueller enlisted to serve in Vietnam while Trump was draft dodging and by his own account in ground combat with syphilis and gonorrhea.
James Martin, SJ@JamesMartinSJ
God help us. This is disgraceful language coming from a Christian, or anyone with a soul. It was just as wrong to celebrate the death of Charlie Kirk as it is to celebrate that of Robert Mueller. May they rest in peace. And may we never forget that Jesus's message is about mercy.

@DamonLinker This assumes he isn’t making the shit up so his family can secretly profit off of a stock market jump based on that fake negotiation story
English
It is entirely plausible that Trump just made up those extremely productive negotiations with Iran so that he could avoid a disastrous week. But really, who can say when the president regularly just makes shit up and doesn't believe in anything except covering his own ass?

IRANIAN MEDIA SAYS THERE WAS NO DIRECT OR INDIRECT CONTACT WITH TRUMP AND CLAIMS HE WITHDREW AFTER THREATENING TO ATTACK WEST ASIA ENERGY FACILITIES.#OOTT
English
@AdamKinzinger Very funny. He’s supporting a dictator that Putin supports even though Putin is aiding the Ayatollah in the war with Israel and the US.

Regular reminder that people who want to make it harder to vote are never friends of democracy. I'm fine with voter ID, but Trump and Musk are trying to shove through federalization and voter suppression measures because they think they will help them control & win the midterms.

Trump: It was brought to my attention today that we’re the only country that does mail in voting. I call it mail in cheating.

Such a revealing 24 hours from the tragic national mistake in the White House. He says he’s glad a heroic Marine (who volunteered to fight and then bled in a war Trump cowardly hid from) has died … and now he threatens to wage war not on the despots of Iran or their complicit military but on her suffering people, by “obliterating” electric power. (The same tactic his vile pal Putin uses in Ukraine.) Is poisoning their drinking water next? Trump brings nothing but shame to America.

As we watch things spin out of control in the Middle East I can't help but recall, and I've said it many, many times before and I'll say it again: one human being should not be able to have all this power. The Founders didn't want it that way and they were 100% right.

@adamscochran Of course they are. Trump specifically appointed them to allow his family to engage in criminal behavior

Trump's installed leads at the SEC are actively blocking the enforcement division from investigating insider trading tied to the Trump family.

@DamonLinker There’s good reason to hate the Iranian government but as of yet no good reason to start a war with it and no reason whatsoever why it should be started without receiving the proper authorization from Congress as required in Article 1 in the Constitution
English
Those who hoped Donald Trump would transform the GOP into a party committed to foreign policy "restraint" failed to grasp the full import of the fact that most Republicans (including Donald Trump) just fucking hate Iran.
