First it was Irish & German Catholics (circa 1850). Next it was Southern & East Catholics & Jews & Chinese (circa 1924), Now it’s Latino, Muslim. It’s always been Black Americans- throughout our history. We either stand together against all forms of racism or we accept it.

Prayers to the DiSilvio family. Thank you for a lifetime of treasured memories and an iconic Pittsburgh institution, during a time when young Pittsburghers had such few. Stewart Copeland repping The Decade w/ The Police

Sadly, if Reagan made these remarks in front of Republicans today, he’d get booed off the stage.

kind of funny that an olympian said they are here to represent "compassion, respect, love for others" and some people automatically know that's a statement against them

Senior Russian officials and business figures cultivated relationships with Jeffrey Epstein, according to newly released documents by the Justice Department. Epstein also made repeated efforts to arrange a meeting with President Vladimir Putin.

I will not sit idly as they use me as a prop in a closed-door kangaroo court by a Republican Party running scared. If they want answers, let’s stop the games & do this the right way: in a public hearing, where the American people can see for themselves what this is really about.

US tax payer funds will go to fund far-right, pro Russian political movements in Europe. Those still afraid to admit that we are facing full-fledged fascism need to wake up.

Buttigieg: In a country that amended its constitution so you could not purchase a beer and then realized it was a bad idea and amended it back, surely we can have an amendment clarifying that a corporation is not a person and money is not speech.

Ossoff: We were told that MAGA was for working-class Americans. But this is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich. It’s the wealthiest Cabinet ever. This is the Epstein class. They are the elites they pretend to hate. If you’re Steve Bannon, how do you sell any of this?

Mikaela Shiffrin was asked how she feels representing the United States at the Olympics despite the political tensions in the country. The two-time gold medalist quoted Nelson Mandela as part of her answer.

Believe it’s a coincidence if you will, but these are also Russia's prime targets because they are Ukraine's staunchest allies. Trump attacking them is yet another Kremlin dream made reality. I believe in coincidences, but I also believe in the KGB.

The Sordid Story of Trump, the Trump–Witkoff Family Business, and the UAE - @NRO weekender is first of a series ...

Oldham County GOP cuts the mic on Thomas Massie. “I am a congressman. I don’t work for the Speaker of the House, I work for you.” Whatever you think of Massie, this moment explains why his own party despises him. He believes he’s accountable to his principles, the

Chris Christie didn’t just drop a name—he cracked open the core rot. On Maher’s show, he recounts Republicans in green rooms calling Trump “nuts,” “unstable,” and worse. But the second that red light blinks on, they morph into sycophants: “Greatest president since Lincoln.”

Election reform shouldn’t mean a federal takeover. As Cato’s Stephen Richer warns, “a supersized, MEGA federal government in charge of everything should not be our aspiration”. Election administration remains largely in the hands of the states, and that’s a good thing.

The Epstein scandal is taking down Europe’s political class. In the US, they’re getting a pass.

Leadership.

I am glad to see that the egregious post has been taken down. As my brother bishops and I have said in our pastoral letter against racism: “Every racist act—every such comment, every joke, every disparaging look as a reaction to the color of skin, ethnicity, or place of origin—is

We found that Jeff Bezos paid *zero* taxes in 2007 and 2011. In fact, he reported making so little in 2011 that he even claimed and received a $4,000 tax credit for his children. This is how he did it (published 2021): https://t.co/ebyZZXlM3j
