BREAKING: The Senate just passed the legislation allowing the devastation of the Boundary Waters. The motion passed 50-49, and now goes to Donald Trump’s desk. The way Republicans passed this bill that prevents future administrations from issuing protections for Superior National Forest, so this pristine land will be exploited in perpetuity unless Congress intervenes to reverse this decision. The state of Minnesota can still block the Chilean mining corporation from operating in Superior National Forest and protect the Boundary Waters from pollution.
The Senate is about to vote on handing a national forest over to a foreign corporation. A Chilean mining company wants to develop a copper mine upstream from the Boundary Waters, a pristine wilderness. The GOP has to choose between a foreign corporation and their constituents.
Happy Tax Day, New York. We’re taxing the rich.
American households age 65–74 have over 10x the net worth of those under 35. The "Big, Beautiful Bill" gave a $6,000 bonus standard deduction - exclusively for taxpayers 65 and older. Is that really where the help is most needed?

I am a Catholic, but I must say that this Pope is moving funny to me. There is a whole Christian genocide going on in Nigeria where he once lived. But this man is more focused on the war in Iran and its politics. Hello Sir, there is a war in Nigeria and Africa too, and Christians are victims. He is the Pope of Christians first before anything else. And the welfare of Christians especially those who are being persecuted should be his priority. But Christians were massacred during Easter in Nigeria for their faith and I did not see any strong condemnation or reaction from the Pope. Instead the Pope is consistently focused on the middle East and Donald Trump's and Isreals war with Terrorists. I sincerely do not understand this Pope. It is Silence in the face of evil that makes evil multiply. What exactly does he want the world to do with terrorists who believe their destiny is to kill every unbeliever and take over the world? I hope that this Pope gets his priorities right.
