JUST POSTED: Today at The NYT we are publishing a major investigation into how President Trump used his executive powers to expose millions of Americans to greater cancer risks. A six month-long investigation built on more than 10,000 pages of FOIA records. Read it www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/c...

nytimes.comHow Trump Gave the Worst Polluters a Free Pass (Gift Article)The president temporarily waived clean-air rules for industrial facilities that spew cancer-causing gases. Then his appointees worked to gut the regulations altogether.

It is beyond me how anyone, let alone a Catholic, can in good conscience continue to support Trump. His racist, vile and disgusting remarks are far removed from what a Christian is called to be. There are no more excuses that can be made to espouse such behavior.

Russian asset = POTUS. Traitor. Felon. Racketeer.

This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.

Pope at Inter-religious Meeting in Metz: “Indeed, to invoke God’s name in order to justify violence or oppression is to profane that name. Nothing that disfigures human dignity can claim to be inspired by God. Religious discourse must constantly call for the disarmament of hearts and words.”

Trump is a toxic waste dump of the worst of human character. His greed, corruption, ego, stupidity, arrogance, cruelty, prejudice, and active contempt for virtue, the law and people are manifest daily in ways that are destroying our institutions and our country. And he is getting worse daily.

I don’t believe the U.S. taxpayer should continue to arm Netanyahu’s government with deadly military equipment. I believe Netanyahu is a war criminal and that his government has committed genocide in Gaza. This doesn't make me antisemitic. (I’m Jewish, by the way.)

Today is pub day for my book, "HOW RUSSIA WON: Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and the Fight for America." Please watch this video and pass it on. It's time to reclaim the Trump-Russia narrative and recognize Putin is continuing his years-long war on America and Trump is complicit. HowRussiaWon.com

Traitor Trump.

25 years ago, terrorists killed nearly 3,000 people, including 2,753 New Yorkers. As we remember that terrible day, let us also remember the first responders, office workers and strangers who ran toward danger to help each other.

Every single Republican interviewed from now through Friday needs to be asked about Trump’s 9/11 lies. Anything less is journalistic malpractice.

These sailors are being put through this for a war that is unauthorized by Congress and for which funds haven’t been appropriated by Congress, a war that is now utterly pointless and which Trump simply doesn’t have the courage to end. Disgraceful. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

I can’t say this enough but Katie Phang is amazing and inspiring. She refuses to give up on the fight to get the fully unredacted Epstein Files released. This world needs many many more journalists like her.

Lotta folks talking about Cassidy's cowardice in supporting Blanche. It's not cowardice. It's complicity. He knows it's a vote for corruption, obstruction of justice, the Epstein cover-up, protection of Trump cronies, attacks on Trump adversaries. He's choosing those things. As he almost always has.
