@maddenifico @ohiovoter4145 She’s rockin’ that cross though!

@maddenifico @mfstern Just another deplorable, corrupt, criminal ‘Family Values’, ‘Christian’, Patriotic’ Republican doing the Trump Regime’s bidding. Maybe her cross will burst into flames along with PamBondi’s, KKKaroline Leavitt’s and…

@maddenifico @zennlavian_2000 Of course she’s wearing a cross.

This is fucking outrageous! The Michigan Bureau of Elections just dropped a bombshell letter on Antrim County Clerk Victoria Bishop, exposing what looks like a blatant abuse of power. This far-right MAGA Republican clerk, elected on a loud "restore election integrity" platform and tied to the crowd still screaming that 2020 was stolen, allegedly went rogue and started canceling or messing with voter registrations she had zero legal right to touch. She reportedly sent out cancellation notices to people who simply didn't vote in the last two big elections — something Michigan law explicitly forbids — and then changed their status in the state's Qualified Voter File to "Cancel" or "Reject" without any verification or proper authority. Unbelievable. A clerk sworn to protect elections is now accused of playing games with people's fundamental right to vote, all while hiding behind "cleaning up the rolls." This is the same Antrim County that became ground zero for wild 2020 voting machine conspiracy theories, and now the new clerk is making it a circus again. The state is demanding answers because Bishop didn't even bother to independently check the info before stripping voters of their registrations. It's infuriating — a partisan operative allegedly suppressing votes under the guise of "integrity," exactly the kind of overreach that erodes trust in the system. If true, this isn't election cleanup; it's election tampering with a side of hypocrisy. Michigan voters deserve better than this reckless bullshit. What a disgrace.

Ex-Trump White House national security official and former Mike Pence aide, Olivia Troye, has announced her run for Congress as a Democrat in Virginia. Her speech back in 2024 at the DNC was pretty fabulous.

JD Vance said Donald Trump and Jeffery Epstein hated each other! Does it look like these two guys hated each other?

@RichRaho Learn fake Christians

Pope Leo in Bamenda: “Woe to those who bend religions and the very name of God to their own military, economic, and political objectives, dragging what is holy into what is most filthy and dark. Yes, dear brothers and sisters, you who hunger and thirst for justice, you poor, merciful, meek, and pure of heart, you who have wept are the light of the world! Bamenda, you today are the city on the hill, splendid in the eyes of all!"

An American in Tennessee says a library called the police on him for printing out news articles about Israel and the cops followed him home

BREAKING: 🇺🇸 Former U.S. Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton: "It is shocking that Trump said no one informed him that Iran could close the Strait of Hormuz. I find it unbelievable that one of the fundamental pillars of geopolitical strategy in the Middle East was ignored. That was the first thing we assumed Iran would do. It is their main tool of global leverage. We are now seeing the consequences of a foreign policy driven by impulse rather than strategy.

Yes, he really said that. Yesterday Vice President JD Vance criticized Pope Leo XIV for not knowing enough theology: "I think it's very, very important for the pope to be careful when he talks about matters of theology ... If you’re going to opine on matters of theology, you’ve got to be careful, you’ve got to make sure it’s anchored in the truth," he said, at a Turning Point conference. One of the many, many, ironies about that statement is that it came in response to Pope Leo's comments about war and peace and, specifically, the concept of "just war," which originated with St. Augustine. As many have already noted, when the Vice President was making his comments, Pope Leo XIV, a member of the Augustinian Order, and twice Prior General of the Augustinians before his election as Pope, was visiting the hometown of St. Augustine, then called "Hippo," now in Annaba, a town in modern-day Algeria. For good measure, Pope Leo XIV, the man critiqued for insufficient theological education, earned not only a master's degree in divinity, but also licentiate and a doctorate in canon law from the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas in Rome. JD Vance's recent conversion to Catholicism is beside the point, because many converts are of course not only highly intelligent (and learned in theology) but faithful and energetic Catholics. We rejoice over everyone entering the church. What most of us do not rejoice over, however, is a deadly combination of inaccuracy and hubris. Pace, Vice President Vance, but the current war in Iran is not a just war under Catholic doctrine. You can hear that from church leaders from across the theological spectrum, from Archbishop Timothy Broglio, the head of the military vicariate and former head of the @USCCB, to Cardinal Robert McElroy, Archbishop of Washington who holds doctorates in both theology and political science. You can look all that up online. Suffice to say, the Vice President doesn't seem to understand the tenets of just war. Nor does he seem to understand the fundamental position of the church, which is for peace. "War is always a defeat for humanity," as St. John Paul II said. If that authority isn't enough, then turn to Jesus who said, "Blessed are the peacemakers," not "Blessed are the warmongers." And after the Resurrection, the Risen Christ says to the frightened disciples not "Vengeance is mine" but "Peace be with you." Incidentally, the day before, the Vice President said that the Pope (and the Vatican) should stick to teaching about morality, also seeming to forget that war and peace are profoundly moral issues. For his part, Pope Leo was focused yesterday on his spiritual father, St. Augustine. After what seemed like an emotional visit to Hippo, he celebrated Mass at the Basilica of St. Augustine in Annaba. During his homily he said, "The primary task of pastors as ministers of the Gospel is therefore to bear witness to God before the world with one heart and one soul, not permitting our concerns to lead us astray through fear, nor trends to undermine us through compromise." Amen. Let's all continue to pray for the Holy Father as he works for peace. (Image: Pope Leo XIV prays at the archeological ruins of Hippo, home of St. Augustine, in current-day Algeria. CNS photo).

Hey Republicans; He pardoned 1,600 violent criminals. You said nothing. He bulldozed the East Wing. You’ve said nothing. He’s interfered with the release of the Epstein files. You’ve said nothing. He took over the Kennedy Center, even renaming it after himself. You’ve said nothing. He accepted a $400 million airplane as a personal gift. You’ve said nothing. He’s threatened Canada, Cuba, Denmark, Greenland, Venezuela, Colombia, Brazil. You’ve said nothing. He’s tariffed just about everyone but Russia, causing inflation and instability worldwide. You’ve said nothing. He attacked a nation during mediated negotiations. You said nothing. His ill-conceived war killed 175 little girls in its first days. You’ve said nothing. He’s alienated and insulted more countries than I can keep track of. You’ve said nothing. His ICE Army is terrorizing and murdering U.S. citizens. You've said nothing. He has committed murder on the high seas. You've said nothing. He's co-opted the Justice Department and directed it to prosecute his political enemies. You've said nothing. You've not only said nothing to all of these egregious acts, and many more, but you have also enabled them. And it’s only been a year. Hey, Republican Congressmen, you took an oath, remember? Not to him. To the Constitution. It’s time to do your fucking jobs!

Ana Kasparian: “Do we really want to be allies with a country [Israel] that kidnaps young girls for r*pe, just so they can have dirt on American politicians and control our foreign policy?”

I haven’t laughed this hard in a minute…💀

Kindness. Connection. Inclusion. In a time when too many voices - from even the highest offices - trade in division and diminish the dignity of others… May we be a reminder: Grace still lives. Decency still shows up. That there are always those who Make space See one another And honor every child’s joy.

Code blue in the ER… we need a doctor STAT 😆

Thank you, Italy, for hosting this visit and for your unwavering support for Ukraine and Ukrainians. I especially want to thank you for the respect shown to our state, to our independence and territorial integrity, and to our people. Respect is just as important as security. When people and states are respected, and when security is guaranteed, there can be truly dignified relations and normal life. This is exactly how we work together with Italy and with all our partners to guarantee security in every sense of the word and to ensure that relations between us are always friendly and meaningful. I am grateful for all the assistance from Italy to Ukraine and Ukrainians – political, security, economic, and humanitarian. Giorgia, thank you personally, for your leadership, which helps us and Europe as a whole navigate this time of crisis, and for your efforts to protect Europe and European interests. From a joint press conference with Giorgia Meloni (1/3).

One by one, many European countries are secretly making deals with Iran. Under these deals, Iran will charge lower fees, and those countries will have to release Iran’s frozen assets. These are the conditions, and most countries have already agreed to them.

Shady Vance called the Trump-Epstein connection “a hoax.” In public. In Georgia. Lawrence O’Donnell lit him up: “That is how sad it is now to be Vice President.” The man sold his soul, his spine, and his future for a job that requires him to lie for Donald Trump. How’s that working out, J.D.?
