@michaelbd Tyler Texas has a wonderful Traditional Catholic community. It will be in the 70s today.

Four degrees, again. Willing to be pitched on the Sunbelt today.

@MZHemingway Are those any good? My local grocery store has freezers full of them.

Ok everybody, we can relax. The Greenberg Smoked Turkey was just delivered from Texas.

@brianeharrison @VanceGinn Because they hope we will have forgotten by then.

Why the hell are Texas leaders going to wait until 2027 to deal with property taxes!!??? Pathetic!

@FrMatthewLC @USCCB And if that is too few, what is the correct number?

@FrMatthewLC @USCCB How many legal immigrants does the US admit each year?

Trump, in his prior presidency, wanted a "Big, Fat, Beautiful, Open Door" for legal immigrants. Then he describes people who would generally fit under H-1B visas as the type he wants to immigrate. Trump in 2025: makes the cost of an H-1B so onerous that it is basically killed.

@GavinNewsom You’re a liar.

Corrupt politicians in Texas are kicking democratically elected officials out because they refuse to vote how they want. This is what dictators do.

@FrMatthewLC @bethecreed What kind of chapel is that?

@bethecreed But don't risk your soul by going to a sedevacantist chapel like this. Go to a church or chapel in union with the Pope.

Telcos can unlock powerful growth opportunities with Rivada's #Outernet, enabling seamless entry into new markets. Our space-based network allows rapid market expansion without the security risks, high maintenance costs, or long build-out timelines of legacy infrastructure.

Earlier this week, we enjoyed participating at the first @NetworkINV Customer Day in the UK. Sharing the benefits of Rivada's #Outernet and discussing secure connectivity goals with other NI partners has made us even more hopeful and excited for the future of critical communications. Special thanks to Aaron Russell, Tony Talbot, Chad Gatlin and Daniella Taylor for inviting us!

I don’t know how any of us survived. Also, never let your kids wear polyester Hawaiian shirts.

@MichaelTG09 Horrid, cutting off downtown from the riverfront with 787 was darn near criminal.

I lived in Albany for years. The combination of “myth of progress” expressed in urban planning and democrats importing voters and carpetbaggers from other places to build a one party political machine destroyed the city.

@jdflynn It’s also important to note that under the Summorum Pontificum regime there was a greater opportunity to have the TLM at our territorial parish, TC intentionally broke that connection. I don’t think that was an accident.

An interesting phenomenon related to the Traditionis Custodes is that bishops are suddenly emphasizing the relationship of the parishioner to his territorial parish, regardless of where he worships. cont

Legal and Tax Twitter - what are the income tax implications of a US citizen Pope?

@kathrynlopez You’re right! He does look like professor Destro.

The new pope seems very familiar to me, even though he’s the one American cardinal I’ve never met (as far as I remember). I just realized. He could be Catholic University of America professor Bob Destro’s brother. Maybe Robert Prevost never existed. It’s another American Bob who is pope?!?! law.edu/about-us/facul…

@carney This is like a stupid movie fight where a group ten bad guys get beaten up by the hero because they basically go after him one at a time.

@LeahLibresco @stephmurrayyyy Fascinating example of the limits of statistics and aggregated outcomes. “Children’s health” outcomes worsened while no individual child had worsened health, in fact many had improved health.

Via @stephmurrayyyy, a study of paid family leave found it *worsened* children's health... because more babies on the margin *survived* and their weakened stats dragged down the average. Nb: Texas's abortion ban has the same result. stephaniehmurray.substack.com/p/hungary-land…

@declanganley When you’re in DC make the trek to St Rita’s in Alexandria.

First time I left a Mass in my life. Priest in Georgetown, DC delivering his homily and proceeds to use today’s Gospel of Satan’s temptation of Christ in the desert to Trump and Vance’s ‘taunting’ of Zelensky in the Oval Office. He delivers direct quotes from Trump. The comparison to Satan was not remotely veiled. The church was packed, standing room only. Honestly, I’m fine with leftie Jesuits, they are necessary and they have a charism but raw nasty partisan political speeches from the Altar that compare the President of the United States to Satan? Beyond the Pale, not going to bring people closer to salvation. Now I have to find another Mass…

@RyanHeneise @TaylorRMarshall The cookie really does it for me.
