HOLD UP. George Santos is the lead story on the @nytimes.com website on Saturday night? Not the millions of Americans protesting Donald Trump today at 2,700 events in all 50 states? Come on.

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.

Man I love #TheView and Whoopi is an icon but I can’t keep hearing “both sides, both sides”. We’re not in this predicament because of Dems. Republicans control the government and these decisions are theirs. How will people learn if we keep saying “Congress” instead of “Republican Obstructionists”?

I don't buy this. In fact, I would be deeply surprised—indeed, shocked, 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙘𝙠𝙚𝙙—were president Donald J. Trump, the most law-abiding public servant ever to grace this land, to fail to uphold the presidential tradition of promoting the rule of law and democracy overseas.

The Washington Post @washingtonpost.com · 3d

President Trump’s request to Israel's parliament to dismiss corruption charges against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu upended American presidents’ tradition of promoting the rule of law and democracy overseas.

Calling for gas chambers. Expressing love for Hitler. Endorsing rape. Using racist slurs.

I'm demanding Rep. James Comer open a House Oversight Committee investigation into these shocking, deeply offensive messages that were exchanged by Young Republican leaders from across the country.

Again @abc7.bsky.social just now regarding the shut down “both sides pointing fingers at each other” and then played a Republican Rep saying it was the Democrats fault because “they want to appease their extremist base”. No one will forget how you helped destroy our democracy.

Ryan Duncan @runyonme.bsky.social · 4d

Hey @abc7.bsky.social when you say “Obamacare” you are politicizing this shutdown that Republicans have made happen. It’s the ACA and people rely on it. You seem to be purposely demonizing it knowing people have been brainwashed against Obama. Stop

I’m shocked Ortt was shocked young Republicans were racist. Alas, when/if this story breaks on commercial media, they will quote some right winger saying “both sides need to ramp down the rhetoric”. Sigh

So before Trump gets the Charlie Kirk sinner-to-saint treatment, let's remember this.

Trump did the same thing with immigration reform. There was a bipartisan deal he arranged to be cancelled.
