Their participation raises a question of moral accountability: How do Catholic leaders reconcile their cooperation with this administration with the Church's teachings on human dignity and the sanctity of life? And where do they draw the line?

2/ Meanwhile, five prominent Catholic bishops have served on Trump's Religious Liberty Commission or its advisory board: • Archbishop Cordileone (San Francisco) • Bishop Paprocki (Springfield, IL) • Bishop Rhoades (Fort Wayne–South Bend) • Bishop Barron (Winona–Rochester) • Cardinal Dolan (NY)

Pistol Pete Hegseth wants to livestream the execution of Nidal Hasan by firing squad. Trump has approved the execution, and his administration is proposing to turn it into a public spectacle. The Catholic Church teaches that the death penalty is inadmissible because it violates human dignity. 🧵

🚨 IOWA SENATE SHOCKER: Josh Turek is within striking distance of flipping a seat Democrats haven’t won since 2008. Trump carried Iowa by 13 points in 2024. But anger over the economy & the Iran war has transformed the race. A Turek win would help Dems take back the Senate. Let’s finish this. #Vote

Capitalism's cruelty is made clear by what happened to Maricarmen, the infirm Spanish woman evicted while hospitalized so that the company could charge a higher rent to someone else. There's always a spreadsheet where ruining someone's life makes perfect business sense.

Why do republicans rarely win Nobel prizes in the sciences? Because the Nobel Committee expects you to test your hypothesis—not quote Leviticus, ban the textbook, accuse the microscope of having a liberal bias, and cut the grant because the results hurt Jesus’s feelings.

The delayed impact of the "Big Beautiful Bill" is a trap built for the midterms. If Dems win, the standard "wait and analyze" playbook fails, or they get blamed for the fallout. Day 1 mandates: Repeal the corporate handouts Restore safety net funding Impeach, impeach, impeach the bastards.

Ever wonder what would happen if the citizens in states that administer capital punishment had to register for an executioner draft? You get picked, you're the executioner. Would capital punishment end then?

I’ve known many other defense secretaries, starting with Cap Weinberger, who served as defense secretary under Reagan. I can say without fear of contradiction that Pete Hegseth is the stupidest and least qualified of them all. He is a danger to the entire world. He must be impeached.

The American Enterprise Institute wants to increase the number of conservative scholars in the humanities and social sciences at our premiere universities so that their traditions and values are represented. But haven't we already experienced their traditions and values and deemed that they suck?

3/3 For Dr. Bhattacharya to capitulate to these politically driven racist policies - rather than defending sound science or resigning on principle - is an abject failure of leadership. You don't gut vital medical research to appease a racist political agenda and still claim to serve science.

2/3 Defunding NIH health disparities grants under the guise of "anti-DEI" isn't science policy. It's ideological RACISM that sabotages public health and makes us all sicker.

25 years ago today, George W. Bush signed the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force into law. Barbara Lee was the only member of Congress to vote against it, warning it would be a blank check for forever wars. History has proven her lonely and courageous vote right.

I agree with Trump that we need a president that is intelligent and informed (as he puts it high IQ, but I suspect he he thinks that means you can identify giraffes, I don't know) to work towards AI regulations so that we don't go extinct and stop posting on Bluesky. So, would he please resign?

Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office. Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor. Donors make huge profits while workers get shafted. Repeat. This is not a coincidence. It's a political-economic system that's been corrupted by design.

Giuliani knew the air in NYC was toxic after 9/11 and Giuliani lied to New Yorkers by telling them it was safe to breathe and live in lower Manhattan. It was better for business. And we all know that when business prospers, even though it will kill us, it's what's best for us. Wake up.

"Keep it wild" hits differently when avoiding offshore wind just guarantees climate chaos. Changes the definition of "wild" entirely. Looks like a few Point Judith captains spent a bit too much time inhaling diesel fumes when they came up with this one.

I get it. Maybe the actions of a democratic congress - impeachment, incarceration, restoration of foreign alliances, claw back of corruption-driven gains, updates to tariff laws, and other remedies - will heal the fracture. Have hope? We didn't all vote for these assholes. Not once, not ever.

Josep Pla (1897–1981) was a highly influential Catalan journalist, essayist, and prose writer. He said, "It is much more difficult to describe than to give an opinion. Infinitely more so. Because of that, everyone gives an opinion." (Transl) For example, "The poor are lazy." Opinion, not a fact.

5/5 Congress may be in the pockets of corporate America—who doubts that?—but state attorneys general can inflict severe economic pain on corporations for the damage they do. Aggressive enforcement may be the closest thing to fair corporate taxation we’ll get.

1/5 The U.S. tax code is heavily skewed: If you work for money, you pay full price. If your money makes money, it gets a preferred rate. Corporations minimize taxable profits; shareholders receive much of the bounty as favorably taxed dividends and capital gains. 🧵
