Sounds like the Catholic Bishop in JD Vance’s home city of Cincinnati, Robert Casey, is wimping out when it comes to standing up for migrants. Ohio, in particular, needs better than it’s getting from its Catholic Bishops.
Catholic compassion means standing with migrants not tiptoeing around them | Letter
Opinion: It's time for the Cincinnati archdiocese to preach what it claims to believe.

ICE has been deployed to *provoke* civilians, not to protect them. They want to throw tear gas canisters and get people on the streets riled up, all to create footage for Fox News and Newsmax, et al., that will be used as a pretext for imposing martial law to lower voting rates in Democratic cities.

Russ Vought is now officially using the government shutdown as a pretext for his continued attempts to permanently gut the civil service.

You know they’re worried about this weekend’s turnout at the No Kings rally when they’re already making comments about it. Who’s ready for Saturday?

The high-profile success of Olivia Nuzzi & Bari Weiss sends such an awful, awful signal to, and about, female journalists. So many sharp, careful, dedicated journalists out there and *this* is what the establishment rewards? This is the incentive structure? It's so gross.

Nigel Farage.
Dodges any accountability for Brexit.
Plays fast and loose with the Clacton House saga.
Talks of nothing but immigration.
Downplays the Nathan Gill story.
Did f*ck all as an MEP; even worse as an MP
Nigel Farage is a con man.
