Pritzker: "Stephen Miller is clearly ordering people to break the law. So he should know that yeah, it may be three years from now that he is held accountable, but I think it's important for them to know that whatever they do now, it's not like we're going to forget."

BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV is set to effectively disband Opus Dei in the coming weeks.

This would be the most sweeping internal reform of his pontificate — and a dramatic continuation of Pope Francis’s legacy.

NEW: Pope Leo Set To Break Up Opus Dei

If Pope Leo does indeed approves a plan that effectively dissolves Opus Dei’s structure, it would be the most significant internal action of his short pontificate to date.

CBS News is not a news organization now. Their vaunted history does not protect their reputation from their current choices. What a terrible shame.

The question to ask is why Republicans think it’s acceptable to despise their fellow #Americans. Why do #Republicans think any of this horror show is acceptable from the standpoint of American democracy and our democratic norms. The questions should be directed at them, not the rest of us.

#Vought was going to do this anyway. It gives him a thrill to hurt Americans. Who has benefited more than #Vought from government. American research saved his kid, his paycheck is from the US Government as is his current power.

Don’t cave to this evil, little

#Johnson should be removed. He has high-jacked the United States government. The people are not being represented.

Congress should have their pay clawed back for each day they are no shows to their jobs. Republicans love to claw back money so this should be easy for them to support.

This photo is disgusting. It appears to depict a member of the American armed forces wearing a mask like a coward, and kneeling on a young person’s shoulder. Take this photo down. It is un-American and dishonorable.
