If you can watch this and not feel sick, you may want to check your soul. Trump will betray Ukraine again and appease his owner, Putin.

Eagles are #SuperBowlLIX Champions! Respect to Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs for fighting to the end. Congratulations to Jalen Hurts, a true champion on the field and off.

Beautiful job with “America the Beautiful” by Lauren Daigle and Trombone Shorty; wonderful rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner” by Jon Batiste. New Orleans, Louisiana, knows how to host a Super Bowl. ⚜️ #SuperBowlLIX

"The president’s blanket pardons for January 6 didn’t just free the charged and convicted. They effectively rewrote the past in real time, a direct assault on the historical record... My photographs document a moment when democracy teetered, the nation’s timeline itself an active crime scene."

Keep in mind, when you read this, that districts in Texas, Florida and elsewhere have banned the Diary of Anne Frank

Tweet of a clip of Trump's Border Czar Tom Homan on Sean Hannity:

Hannity: The governor of New Jersey basically admitted that he knew somebody that didn't have full documentation, that he was hiding over in his garage.

Homan: We will look into it. If he knowingly is harbouring and concealing an illegal alien, that's a violation, I will seek prosecution or the secretary will seek prosecution

This is evil. It puts innocent lives in danger. And the neo-Brownshirts will be harassing many American health workers — most of them Black. The devil is laughing in hell as this Administration does his bidding.

As I said on Serious Trouble, a significant amount of the Trump executive orders and related documentation read like they were generated by a ChatGPT bought at Radio Shack. I would add “by an incel who has a tattoo that says ‘THE LITTLE MERMAID IS WHITE’”

If the devil in hell wished to find a more perfect vessel to divide and destroy America, he couldn’t have done better than Donald Trump — a toxic brew of arrogance, ignorance, incompetence, mendacity, narcissism, and sadism.

While we were enjoying the weekend, apparently Elon Musk has been harvesting all of our most sensitive public information and stealing the keys to our nation’s economy. This is flagrantly illegal and it seems not one Republican has the spine to take on the world’s richest man. #Oligarchy

Proposal: Instead of the Musky USA taking over Greenland, allow Greenland to buy and annex us while we’re still worth something. Every US citizen gets $5000 and a tin of caviar. We could become the Third Municipality of Greenland and a member of the Danish Realm. Long live King Frederik X! 🇬🇱 🇩🇰 🇺🇸

Today’s disastrous Trump Press Conference regarding the tragic air crash in Washington DC only proves once again that Trump understands even less about Imago Dei than he does about DEI.

As an American and an Alabamian, I remember and honor our WWII heroes, the Tuskegee Airmen. May their service to our nation and to the cause of freedom never be forgotten, minimized, or belittled. Their history is our history.

If we see a bully hatefully attacking a loved one or an innocent, the Lord leads us to intervene as an act of mercy and justice. One of my heroes is Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a man of peace who also resisted evil. Speaking out may be costly. Be strong, even in the face of fear. Heaven smiles on courage.

January 6, 2024, marks the fourth anniversary of a dark day, the J6 Capitol Insurrection. What has happened since represents a devastating capitulation to lawlessness and dereliction of Constitutional duty by national leaders. I grieve for what has been and for what is to come.
