43% of social welfare recipients are White. 11 of the top 12 most dependent states are red states. Alaska is the most dependent on federal aid while California (49) and New Jersey (50) are least dependent, contributing far more than they receive. #RedStateMoochers

Vance, a recent convert to Catholicism, demonstrates his comfort w the sin of racism in this post. Defending racism is the antithesis of being prolife. Focusing on the media as the evil doer rather than the person who did evil things is the work of the devil. Racism is incompatible w the faith.

When the Holy Father steps in to explain Ordo Amoris bc a recent convert is spreading a false understanding of it, take note and understand the recent convert is not a trustworthy source for explaining the faith. The Holy Father, the Vicar of Christ, is the trustworthy source.

The Sun is a giant ball of hydrogen & helium held together by gravity. At 4.6B years old, it is about 50% through its effective life span. Its equator completes a rotation about once every 25 days. Today has a Superbowl, but it's Sun-day first.

Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin in his farewell address: "You know, I was taught at West Point to pray that I would 'choose the harder right instead of the easier wrong.' And I have tried every day as Secretary to live up to that teaching." It's a prayer for America right now.

Some good news — since we started the Holler we have hollered about voice votes in Tennessee’s house being an absolute anti-transparency joke. We’ve many times seen chairs call votes the obviously wrong way. It seems those days are finally over. 🎉 tcog.info/electronic-r...

It can be hard to dream when the future feels uncertain. Hard to focus. Hard to plan. Hard to imagine the best when the worst feels as present as our breath. It’s okay. Just do the next right thing. And then the one after that. Keep going. 💖

CNN interviewed more than a dozen experts, and they said that no fire hydrants would have been able to stop the LA wildfires with the high winds. “I don’t know a water system in the world that is that prepared for this type of event,” said one expert.

Widespread destruction from the L.A. fires was inevitable, given the drought and winds. Still, the region could have been better prepared.

These extraordinary photos of the LA fires have been shared widely on social media, often without crediting the photographer. These are all the work of Ethan Swope, an LA-based photojournalist working for AP. You can follow his remarkable reporting here👇 www.instagram.com/ethanswopeph...

A street is orange from flames and you can see the high winds in the palm trees. Sparks fly down the street

I don't know if the LA fire department is properly funded or not but the claim that the city cut its budget last year — which is circulating widely on the right — is false. As Politico notes, the budget actually INCREASED by $50 million. A portion of the funding was approved in a separate bill.

That assertion is wrong. The city was in the process of negotiating a new contract with the fire department at the time the budget was being crafted, so additional funding for the department was set aside in a separate fund until that deal was finalized in November. In fact, the city’s fire budget increased more than $50 million year-over-year compared to the last budget cycle, according to Blumenfield’s office, although overall concerns about the department’s staffing level have persisted for a number of years.
