@Fezziwig_2 @CatholicVote @CatholicVote should not be allowed to call themselves Catholic. @usccbp

@CatholicVote How you're able to reconcile continued support for Trump's administration after the abomination of this war of choice, we'll never know.

Donald Trump warns "a whole civilization will die tonight" if Iran fails to meet his 8 p.m. ET deal deadline. In a Truth Social post on April 7, Trump issued a stark message as tensions escalated.

@CatholicVote How Catholics can support or give attention to this post by on Easter is dumbfounding.

I've been covering ASU recruiting for 25 years. @mikey_barth is the first-ever prospect to tell me that he committed to ASU while at The Chuckbox. He and his family went there after practice with ASU's special teams coaches. How many bonus points are earned for this?

@ChrisKarpman @mikey_barth I'd commit if they took me to the Chuckbox 💯

“As written and given final Senate approval on a 17-13 party-line vote, the measure also puts language in the Arizona Constitution allowing lawmakers at some future date to eliminate mail-in voting entirely.” While Republicans in the legislature move to end voting by mail, my office put forward the Voters First Act which would restore PEVL & secure mail-in voting for the more than 80% of voters who utilize this option in Arizona. #VotersFirstAZ

Maricopa County GOP feud escalates over elections axios.com/local/phoenix/… #axiosphoenix the board of supervisors is correct and holding the line.

Bobby Hurley is a good coach. Give him fair resources to compete with other contending programs… and watch him work. He’s tried everything to make basketball work at ASU — pulled off some miracles and been burned by some dudes. But few care more about ASU than BFH.

So: 1) Heap doesn't know the standard for signature verification. 2) Heap throws his own Chief (Stone) under the bus and says he doesn't know what Stone was talking about with respect to "disenfranchisement," but that there are "challenges." 3) The Board has said that Heap is hard to work with. The Board asks Heap to voluntarily agree to another meeting. He declines. 4) Heap complains about working hard -- bit rich coming from a guy who is the office about once a week.

When this weekend comes and goes, and I’ve enjoyed my weekend, and you’ve sat around moaning like a victim, will you come back here and say you were wrong? Because I’ve heard nonsense like this for 5 years. And each time a prediction proves wrong, I never get any acknowledgment of it being wrong.

James Van Der Beek’s final message to the world is one of the most powerful things I have ever heard. Stop whatever you are doing and listen to this! 🥺
