Padre Vidal Rivas came to Maryland to be a priest. Now, he's ready to care for the children of parishioners who risk deportation. “I would take them to the doctor ... I would change Pampers. I was their father.” My latest: www.thebanner.com/politics-pow...

Who cares for children of deported parents? This priest has signed up to take on 31.
This Takoma Park priest has agreed to be the standby guardian for 31 children amid the Trump administration’s aggressive campaign to expel immigrants.

READ THIS: The man who was the commanding general of Fort Hood when Nidal Hasan went on his shooting rampage, and who signed the actual death warrant authorizing Hasan's execution, is absolutely opposed to televising the firing squad. He speaks eloquently for himself here.

again, i don’t think any of this is necessary. just say that the court was out of bounds, that it may be correct on the definition of “election” but that this technical matter has no bearing on the results of the referendum, which occurred in a free and fair contest.

NPR: After Trump killed a VA home loan safety net, 10,000 vets have lost their homes due to foreclosure since May 2025, and another 90,000 vets are headed the same way. Vets now have less protections than an ordinary home buyer. So much for the post service benefit of helping buy a house.

This picture gives a good representation of area of Ukraine compared to area of U.S. And NOW is a critical time for Ukraine’s allies to stand fiercely w/ Ukraine. The conflict that Israel & the U.S. have stirred up in Iran must not thwart the promises of aid & support to Ukraine. #StandWithUkraine

The Episcopal Diocese of Pennsylvania demanded "Apologize or resign" today. Of course he won't do either. But good on them for being blunt!
From our bishop:
As you know, I am not one who issues statements based on every news item that crosses the wire. However, as a Bishop and more importantly a follower of Jesus Christ, I was repulsed and sickened by the meme that was on the President’s feed depicting two children of God, who served this nation, as apes.
It is a sin against the Lord. This is not just politics or someone being themselves. It is an affront to Christ. Either you apologize, Mr. President, or you resign.
If that doesn’t happen, Congress and Mr. Speaker, who claims to be Christian, need to do something.

Yesterday I got to sit down (well, stand in a crowd) with Rt. Rev. Mariann Budde, the Episcopal Bishop of Washington who made headlines last year for her sermon asking Trump to "have mercy" on migrants. A year later, she's in Minneapolis, preaching the same message. religionnews.com/2026/01/23/o...
religionnews.com
One year after she urged Trump to have mercy, Bishop Budde leads clergy protests in Minneapolis
MINNEAPOLIS (RNS) — 'I don't think a year ago we could have fathomed how quickly and how dramatically this country would change,' Budde told RNS in Minneapolis.

Scripture says you can’t love God and hate other people. You can’t love God and abuse the immigrant. You can’t love God and bully the outcast. You can’t love God and oppress the poor. In the face of a neighbor, we glimpse the face of God.
