I don't see what the big deal is about a primary challenge. Every Congressional seat should have a primary challenger. If nothing else it teaches the next generation how to run campaigns.

If there is any Christian church that doesn’t advocate for specific politicians it’s the Catholic Church.

Really? They have no problem publicly disciplining specific Catholic politicians over their votes

Kash is about to get fired and we'll get Matt Gaetz appointed (illegally) on an interim basis

That link is to a cartoon from Al Franken's book. So it is satire, but becoming more real every day.

They don't believe in the Christ you describe. They believe in Supply Side Jesus

MAGA never really liked Catholics anyway. They only liked their votes, because these same bishops have turned many US Catholics into single-issue voters on Abortion, which directly enabled the current Federal assault on these immigrant parishioners. Most of MAGA is Protestant and Evangelical, and sees Catholicism as only a step or two removed from a cult.

And you know how the article references that this is the first "special statement" that the bishops released in 12 years? I looked it up, that statement 12 years ago was railing against the HHS mandate to fund contraception, in the name of "religious freedom".

It is tragic what is happening to their parishioners right now, but the bishops can only blame themselves. They directly advocated for politicians who are now actively targeting their people.

The MRI results will be heavily redacted and all references to "Dementia" will be crossed out in Sharpie

“It was just an MRI,” he said. “What part of the body? It wasn’t the brain because I took a cognitive test and I aced it.”

Holy fucking shit

Exactly, if Trump is still President past Jan 2029, he won't need an election to do it. We won't have to vote!

It doesn't matter what Americans say anymore. Trump can't run again. If he manages to hold on to power past Jan 2029, he won't need popular opinion (or votes) to do it.

Mostly just because the commander in chief has the strategic mind of a toddler and thinks accusing others of exactly what he is guilty that week of is good strategy.

Seems to be a good strategy to me, it got him elected twice. And it got an entire political party under his thumb, so that they don't think at all about crossing him.

A House Foreign Affairs subcommittee hearing ended abruptly Tuesday after Rep. Keith Self (R-Texas) referred to Rep. Sarah McBride (D-Del.), the first transgender person elected to Congress, as “mister.”

Self, who chairs the subcommittee on Europe, introduced McBride as “the congressman from Delaware” during a hearing on arms control and U.S. assistance to Europe. McBride responded by calling Self “Madam Chair.”
