Don Lemon to MAGA: “You have fallen for his bullshit. You have been coopted by him. You are in a cult and you don’t even realize it. The difference between [Trump and] Jim Jones is Jim Jones would not charge you for the Kool Aid and Donald Trump will”

“Somebody shorted the oil markets today by hundreds of millions of dollars exactly 20 minutes before Trump made his announcement that everything was going to be great. And if you see that once, it could be a coincidence. But that’s happened at least three times, if not more, since the war began. That’s a pattern.” “And what that suggests is that there’s rampant corruption and insider self-dealing going on with the president’s up and down predictions of what’s going to happen tomorrow in the negotiations and in the markets. And I’m sure that that’s being investigated. We can’t prove it, but it seems like the corruption that we’re seeing in our government, maybe not the President, but people who are in the know and the markets, is having a priority over the actual negotiations to end the war. And that’s a crazy thing that our system has never seen before.”

This is who the Big Beautiful Bill Helps.

So Trump didn’t think he was Jesus…he thought he was a doctor? A doctor with no scrubs, no stethoscope, no hospital setting? A doctor with glowing hands performing miracles like Christ? @Franklin_Graham, do you really want us to believe that? I can’t say that I’m surprised because you defended Trump when he bragged about grabbing women by their vaginas and brushed it off as “locker room talk.“ You defended Trump when he threatened mass death against an entire nation. You defended Trump when he mocked the vulnerable, the poor, and the powerless. You defend Trump no matter how vile, reprehensible, immoral, or inhumane his behavior is. Your moral compass is broken. What you practice is not Christianity, it’s idolatry with Bible verses attached. You’re not defending Christ, you’re protecting power. And every time you excuse wickedness for the sake of a political alliance you prove you’re more loyal to white supremacy than you are to the Gospel. You should be ashamed. 

Franklin Graham today: the Pope should thank Trump. Let that sit for a second. My new piece on how the Trump movement uses faith as a costume — and what happens when real religious leaders push back. (Link in reply)

@DWolfsonKSTP @EricJrAllStar Very cool

Great story from friend and legendary coach Brian Cosgriff: Amaya Battle and Nia Coffey are now both with the Lynx. Well, Nia used to babysit Amaya when she was in 2nd grade and bring her to Hopkins basketball camp. #LosLynx

@Franklin_Graham @realDonaldTrump Utterly ridiculous

I had received some questions about President @realDonaldTrump's recent posts, and here are my thoughts: I do not believe President Trump would knowingly depict himself as Jesus Christ—that would certainly be inappropriate. I’m thankful the President has made it very clear that this was not at all what he thought the AI-generated image was representing—he thought it was a doctor helping someone, and when he learned of the concerns, he immediately removed the post. When I looked at the illustration, I didn’t jump to the same conclusion as some. There were no spiritual references—no halo, there were no crosses, no angels. It was a flag, soldiers, a nurse, fighter planes, eagles, the Statue of Liberty, and I think this is a lot to do about nothing. There is so much ill-intended speculation. I think his enemies are always foaming at the mouth at any possible opportunity to make him look bad. And the illustration from someone else he reposted on Truth Social yesterday, I must say that I like the fact that this is a picture of Jesus whispering in his ear, or at least His hand on his shoulder, guiding him. We all need that—we all need to be listening to Jesus. Again, I think there is an attempt to spin this into something that it isn’t. Remember, President Trump didn’t draw this, he didn’t create it, he reposted it on his social media because he thought it was nice—I would have to agree. I’m not a Catholic, I’m an evangelical, but I appreciate how President Trump has defended religious freedom for people of all faiths, including millions of evangelicals and Catholics in the U.S. and around the world. He is the most pro-Christian, pro-life president in my lifetime, and he doesn’t shy away from it. I would hope that the President and Pope Leo can meet at some point, and that the Pope would have the opportunity to thank the President for his efforts to protect religious liberty for Catholics and people of all faiths.

Imagine beefing with the Pope all week and having your sycophants claim the Pope doesn't know the Bible only for one of your sycophants to come out here and quote a fake Bible verse from a movie. Embarrassing.

JD Vance is lecturing the Pope on Catholicism and Pierre Poilievre is lecturing Mark Carney on economics and RFK Jr is lecturing scientists about vaccines and Donald Trump is lecturing the world on tariffs and Pete Hegseth is quoting Pulp Fiction and thinking it’s the Bible

“I’ve never heard something more blasphemous in all of my days. That you’re going to compare a mere mortal to Jesus ? The one who gave his life for us ? The church has to speak up this is not Christianity it’s idolatry.” ~Rev Kevin R. Johnson Abyssinian Baptist Church in Harlem

I'm helping to lead a group of Senate Democrats who are planning to force a vote - every single week the Senate is in session - to end the war in Iran. We have that right under the Senate rules, and we are going to keep putting Republicans on record supporting this insane war.

“The kind of religion that says you can treat people however you want as long as you have a personal relationship with Jesus is an abomination. Scripture says you can't love God and hate other people. You can't love God and abuse the immigrant. You can't love God and bully the outcast. You can't love God and oppress the poor. We spend so much time looking for God out there, that we miss God in the person sitting right next to us.” - James Talarico

@harryjsisson He is not well and dragging the name of Jesus and Christianity thru the mud 🤦🏻‍♂️

Trump is having a mental health episode right now. He’s been posting on social media all night. He posted at: 9:49pm (Ai Jesus photo) 9:50pm (Trump tower on moon) 10:10pm (dumb meme) 10:32pm (news clip) 10:53pm (news clip) 12:43am (announcing Hormuz blockade) 2:35am (article about Biden) 2:36am (article on naval blockade) 2:37am (article on Rep. Swalwell) 2:37am (posted the same article about Biden again) 2:38am (article on his ballroom) 4:10am (article on Iran) He’s not sleeping, he’s pretending to be Jesus, and he’s posting all night. He’s not well.

This is chilling. Withholding vital public health data because it doesn't conform to the anti-vaccine dogma of RFK Jr. will cost lives.

Just once I’d like to hear a republican answer a question without saying Joe Biden or the democrats. We are more than a year in to YOUR administration - it’s time you owned it.

I've listened to my fellow Evangelicals do this performative nose holding since 2015. Just stop. You exalt him because he punishes your enemies. You're the Pharisees who begged Rome to crucify Christ because he threatened your political power.

How the hell did donald trump manage to convince Christians that he is one of them?????

I think the reason Minnesota is so left is cause living here is the most obvious example of the right wing just outright lying Every day you’ll see right wingers trying to say it’s a hellhole here and then you just….leave your house and it rocks
