@SteveDaines: “Pass-through businesses employ more than half of private-sector workers, [and] more than 96% of businesses in our country are organized as pass-throughs. The deduction itself is directly responsible for 2.6 million jobs and $325 billion of the United States’ GDP.”

.@SteveDaines helped secure the Section 199A pass-through deduction, a critical tax policy on which so many small businesses depend. Read our interview with Sen. Daines on his work to make this pro-manufacturing policy permanent with the passage of the Working Families Tax Cuts. #ManufacturingWins @TaxCuts nam.org/tax-champion-s…

@RealLaneThorpe @theoscholastica Nothing in there except “there are bad things in the Church.”
That’s not an emergency.
The Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church was on the verge of extinction without illegal consecrations. That’s a good example of an emergency.

I will admit, the SSPX and some of its supporters here are doing a terrible job at defending the Consecrations. These vague general claims of a crisis aren't helping. Explain in detail why there is one and give a Canonical defense of the Society.
English
@shagbark_hick The SSPX never tried to get me to accept this crap. Have you prayed reparations for these???
English
I pray that all Catholics pray a Rosary of Reparation on July 1st.
May God prevent these consecrations, and may the Holy Spirit work on the souls of those defending this act of defiance against Christ's Church, against which even the gates of hell shall never prevail.

JUST IN: SSPX Announces Four Priests to Be Consecrated as Bishops on July 1: dianemontagna.substack.com/p/sspx-announc… In a statement released today at 2:32pm (Rome), the SSPX said the four priests are: Father Pascal Schreiber, of Swiss nationality; Father Michael Goldade, of American nationality; Father Michel Poinsinet de Sivry, of French nationality; Father Marc Hanappier, of French nationality. “In a spirit of respect toward the supreme authority of the universal Church, the dossiers of these priests were presented to the Holy Father, together with certain explanations necessary for a proper understanding of this step, within the very particular and exceptional context of these episcopal consecrations,” the statement added.

In a new @FDRLST piece with @cjmedranski, we apply Reagan's "trust but verify" to Medicaid work requirements.
Those requirements are popular and vital to protect Medicaid for the most vulnerable and encourage work over welfare for able-bodied adults.

@theoscholastica @MarquisRhiz It wasn’t an ultimatum. It was an opening negotiation bid. They never counter offered. They just took their ball and went home. What was the point of demanding talks if that’s the first thing you’re going to do with a bid?x
English
@RyanLEllis @MarquisRhiz Because Rome offered them a terrible ultimatum
English
Is there anyone on here who opposes the SSPX consecrations but is still sympathetic to them?
English
@MarquisRhiz @theoscholastica The SSPX walked away from the table. Not Rome.
English
@theoscholastica The latae sententiae will do a lot of damage to the SSPX's growth and the perception of the society's character. I wish the Vatican was willing to communicate more.
English
Sympathetic in that I want as many traditional Catholic things happening as possible, in order to reform the Church?
Absolutely. I’ve hosted them twice in my home for masses and have given them money. I still might depending how things go.
Sympathetic that there is some emergency or state of necessity? I haven’t been convinced of that at all.
English
at this point just move New England to the Atlantic time zone because this DST stuff is ridiculous

CMS is answering CFE’s call to rein in Medicaid abuse, including ambulance reimbursement schemes that can drain taxpayers.
A new proposed rule would strengthen oversight, align payments with Medicare standards, and stop Medicaid dollars from flowing through payment games.

@holysmoke @DictatorPope Except on their days off, which we all suspect is “TLM Day” for the new guys.
English
As an outsider I’m fascinated by this liturgical experiment. NB: Catholic priests are currently banned from exploring their own heritage unless they were doing so before TC.
Great St Bartholomew@StBartholomews
For Whitsunday we inaugurated our new service of Holy Communion in the High Church tradition. 🕊️🔥 Now celebrated every Sunday at 5pm in St Bartholomew the Less, the service follows the practices of High Church divines such as William Laud, John Cosin and Lancelot Andrewes.

If a meeting has 25 people, there should be 10 Coke Zeros, 10 Diet Cokes, 3 Cokes, and 10 water bottles.
English
Coke Zero by a mile.
The ratio in conference rooms should be:
1 part Coke Zero
1 part Diet Coke
0.25 part Coke
1 part water bottles
The Wall Street Journal@WSJ
As Coke Zero gets bigger, and threatens to dethrone Diet Coke as the most important diet soda property in the Coca-Cola extended universe, the feud between Diet Coke fans and Coke Zero drinkers is getting pretty fizzy. on.wsj.com/4wKhvI5

@jdflynn Maybe we can nominate it by changing the pronunciation to “COM-pute.”
As in, “I produced a ton of COM-pute today at work.”
English
@ChristopherHale Promoted him to a seat among the College of Cardinals?
Chris, what are you talking about
English
Chicago Cardinal Blase Cupich was in the front row of today’s public release of Pope Leo XIV’s AI encyclical.
Many American conservatives had hoped the U.S.-born pontiff would sideline the powerful prelate.
Instead, Leo XIV has promoted him.
English
I can really only square it in my head on the micro level.
I have plenty of extra money to give that laborer some work that is of immense value to him. My surplus funds his need, and we’re each better off for it. He’s great at lawns, he has income, and I’m only out savings I don’t need.
English
@RyanLEllis @sarahhgustafson right but the good of families isn't the same as being oriented towards the creation of work
families are consumers as well
English
I am glad the Pope’s new encyclical recognizes that finance is “irreplaceable”, but I am struggling with its claim that finance should be aimed at creating new human work.
Finance is aimed at the creation of value, that is producing more for consumers with *less work*.
English
English
@savanarola5 @RyanLEllis @sarahhgustafson That's just not true. Any work requires capital to exist beforehand, which is why business loans exist. And corporate jobs.
English
@GreenPlusAnE @sarahhgustafson The main thing to get your head into is that under Catholic Social Teaching, all economic activity is ultimately ordered toward the good of families, with a preferential option for the poor. There are a million differing opinions on how to get there. Just opinions.
English
Micro, yes. That’s basic Catholic Distributism. Hilaire Belloc, et al.
Macro, it’s harder. He’s one of these fuzzy headed “global south” guys, more Peruvian than American. He doesn’t see how financial markets create wealth for the poor, and how the best anti poverty program is free markets.
