I'd rather spend $70 billion to support immigrants rather than to hunt and cage them.

"I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation. I don’t think about anybody." Actual quote from the President of the United States.

If your pastor venerates a golden statue, it's time to find a new church. If your representative supports a $1 billion ballroom, it's time to find a new representative. If your President starts a forever war to distract from the Epstein files, it's time to find a new President.

Imagine if we all walked into the world with the belief that each person was inherently worthy. Imagine if our goal was to help each other recognize that we are worthy of being loved. Imagine if we sought to listen more than we spoke. ~Mr. Rogers

Amazing how MAGA folks finally get a little upset over something the President does: post a social media image where he depicts himself as Jesus—but didn't blink when he was convicted of sexual assault, was best friends with a pedophile, and when his entire life mocks everything Jesus stood for.

“Trump went from making insane genocidal threats this morning to hyping the ‘golden age’ of Iran hours later, and he received no concessions in between. He’s an absolute basket case who needs to be removed from power before he follows through on one of his mass murder fantasies.” ~Aaron Rupar

Even if it turns out he's bluffing, or pulls his usual TACO move, we simply CANNOT have leaders who speak and act this way. It is destabilizing on every front.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but Iran did not blow up their own school full of their own children.

This is where we are in 2026, America. A Representative with actual principles feels a need to post this publicly. What the actual f@$k.

Frankly, it is still astonishing to me that someone with this lack of intellect could ever get an entry-level job, let alone become President of the United States. It will take years and possibly decades to undo the damage.

Ready to get out of here and just breathe? Join me July 17-26 to walk the Camino in Spain this summer. This journey invites inner growth and reflection, plus the views are great. We have a free info session Thurs night! 7:00pm. Link to register for the Zoom session here: shalem.org/programs/on-...

Why isn’t every politician, leader, prosecutor, and news channels focused on this. The President is accused with significant proof of killing and raping minors.
