DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.

He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.

The grift continues.

A cartoon from the 1950’s that’s more relevant than ever 💔

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.

That's roughly $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

People do not want this.

They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

What's shameful is: Speaker Johnson is not loyal to the constitution of the United States. He should be investigated for falsely swearing his oath of office

Pope Leo should accept it and immediately turn it over to be melted and the gold used to feed the poor, or migrants, or provide care for wounded Iranian children.

How does the Church welcome people?

How does the Church live Catholic social teaching?

Are our parishes in "maintenance mode" or "mission mode"?

Those are some of the questions Sr. Donna Ciangio, O.P., discussed recently on our podcast @deaconspod.bsky.social:

We need to pass a House rule or law that requires them to work a certain number of days to get paid. Since Mike Johnson took over these people hardly ever work. When they finally come back after weeks off they work 2 days and he sends them home for 2 more weeks. It’s ridiculous.

Our taxes

Our taxes

Our taxes are paying for this instead of healthcare.

We have been misled. We thought that in the USA we had a Senate and a House of Representatives which might be involved in initiating any act of war. Apparently not.

Now what???

Kicking millions of people off food stamps and making the largest cut to SNAP in history does not lift up Americans or make groceries affordable. It makes it more difficult, and nearly impossible, for families to put food on the table.

Rep. Massie:  “I've not seen any arrests from the revelations in the Epstein files…Over two dozen people have resigned, CEOs, members of government worldwide. But I haven't seen any arrests or investigations here in the United States from this DOJ.”
