God’s heart is torn apart by wars, violence, injustice and lies. But our Father’s heart is not with the wicked, the arrogant, or the proud. God’s heart is with the little ones and the humble, and with them He builds up His Kingdom of love and peace day by day. Wherever there is love and service, God is there. #ApostolicJourney #Algeria

A decade after his first bid for the White House ended in failure, Bernie Sanders is still trying to take over the Democratic Party.
But the question remains: Can Sanders’s version of the party actually beat Republicans?

"These types of stretches are going to happen. It's tough when it happens early in the season, it's tough when it's happening when we're just not winning ballgames and the microscope is going to be right there on our offense.
We have another game tomorrow against one of the best in the league, so we have no time to dwell on it. We'll just get some rest tonight and come back with a good attitude and see what we can do."

After separate allegations of sexual misconduct, two members of Congress are resigning.
Democrat Eric Swalwell faces multiple allegations of sexual assault. He denies the accusations.
Republican Congressman Tony Gonzales’ resignation comes after he admitted to sleeping with a staffer who later took her own life.
@LisaDNews has more.

@SteveGelbs Yes but now they have Stearns leading the way. The only way is down.

The Mets have to prove that an uninspiring 7-9 start to the season is an aberration.
From SNY's Chelsea Janes:
"This team – despite being built around many players who had no part in last year’s failings – must prove it is not the same maddeningly uninspiring bunch that never recovered in the second half before anyone absorbs well-intentioned assurances about how talented the lineup is.
...
They should be better than they have been. They have reason to believe they can be better than they have been. But after missing the postseason by one win last year, this group has not earned the right to struggle in peace. No one can take their word for it these days. If these Mets are better than this — if these Mets really are different than last year — they will have to prove it."

@NewsHour @TheStephSy Why is pbs commenting on another country's affairs? Stop the propaganda.

The incoming prime minister of Hungary struck a hopeful tone on Monday, and for the first time since 2010 it was not Viktor Orbán.
Peter Magyar has called for a swift transition of power. And, as @TheStephSy reports, he began to chart an ambitious course to reverse central pillars of Orbán’s rule.

After sliding from first to last place on the back of five straight losses, social media is already eulogizing the Mets' season.
Can I blame them? Not really, give the history of my beloved team.
I’m not quite there yet, but let’s just say I’ve already moved my Jets gear to the front of the closet.
Old habits—and so many disappointments.

@WeTheBrandon The Europeans prefer to pay off and enrich Iran than invest in their own defense. They are a weak and crumbling society. It's ironic. They have been living off hundreds of years of stolen wealth and now it's payback time.

The reason Trump’s counter-blockade in the Strait of Hormuz seems comically absurd is because it is born out of raw desperation. You see, Trump expected Europe and others to send their navies to reopen the Strait, figuring that those regions rely upon trade via the Strait more than we do. What he didn’t figure was how utterly intransigent the Euros and others would be to his pressure campaign. Once he realized that the Euros, Japanese, etc., were simply going to pay the Iranian toll to move their goods through the Strait rather than risk a war, Trump panicked, understanding too late in this affair how dreadfully exposed to the disruptions of Iran’s blockade the US economy was. Now, Trump is scrambling. Desperate to pressure the rest of the world into supporting his bid to reopen the Strait. He still doesn’t get it. Which is why he will keep getting this thing wrong.

@Keir_Starmer Lots of talking while America does the heavy lifting. This why the UK is a dead country and NATO is finished as a functional alliance.
English

The ongoing closure of the Strait of Hormuz is deeply damaging. Getting global shipping moving is vital to ease cost of living pressures.
The UK has convened more than 40 nations who share our aim to restore freedom of navigation.
This week the UK and France will co-host a summit to advance work on a coordinated, independent, multinational plan to safeguard international shipping when the conflict ends.

Hungarian voters on Sunday ousted long-serving Prime Minister Viktor Orbán after 16 years in power, rejecting the authoritarian policies and global far-right movement that he embodied in favor of a pro-European challenger in a bombshell election result with global repercussions. to.pbs.org/4tCI0wJ

@MalcolmNance @carlquintanilla The ships can be literally, "blocked." It doesn't mean that they need to use guns.
English

For you all who think the US naval blockade will be successful just bc we have US Navy ships in the gulf …
Ask yourself this. Are we going to sink Chinese, Indian and Pakistani merchant ships defying the blockade or just write their names down and cry?
This will be unenforceable and speed up the collapse of the global economy.
This is Madness disguised as a policy.

@BarackObama @davidaxelrod The gaslighters said Orban wouldn't give up power. Where are these losers now?
English

The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world. Most of all, it’s a testament to the resilience and determination of the Hungarian people – and a reminder to all of us to keep striving for fairness, equality and the rule of law.
English

APPLEBAUM: Victor Orbán has been in charge of Hungary for 16 years. He has used his power as a democratically elected leader to take over the institutions of the state, judiciary, media, bureaucracy, universities.
Thanks to that and unbelievably high level of corruption, Hungary is now one of the poorest and most corrupt countries in EU, with major problems in healthcare and education.
Yet in the campaign he’s not talking about any of that. Instead, he’s pushing mythical fantasy that Ukrainians are going to invade Hungary to create fear.
He’s trailing in the polls by about 20%. The only question is whether he will halt the election, change the result, or create some kind of outrage.

Today, the Iranian regime is still in place. They still have thousands of missiles and retain their highly enriched uranium and now they're negotiating for a firm grip on the Strait of Hormuz in perpetuity to end the war.
Meanwhile, we've lost 14 U.S. servicemen and women and hundreds more have been wounded; spent tens of billions of dollars; and badly depleted our supplies battering Iran.
At the same time, inflation is raging again and gas is at $4.15 a gallon and rising--$1.20 more than the day before we decided to launch a war against Iran.
Remind me again why this was a good idea?
English

From WSJ: "Only six weeks ago, ships moved freely through the strait before the war without any military coordination with Iran. The new arrangements are altering the balance of power in the Persian Gulf and expanding Iran’s global influence despite the battering it suffered in the five-week war." wsj.com/world/middle-e…

I predicted someone like Trump many years ago, in THE DEAD ZONE. So now I'm saying this--in the next 12-16 months, we're going to find out if the two machines for the removal of a man unable to fulfill his duties actually work. They are impeachment and the 25th amendment. He is deeply unwell .
