in which Mike Johnson attempts to scripture-splain to the [checks notes] Pope
Q: Pope Leo cited Matthew 25:35 to critique Donald Trump's mass deportation agenda. How would you respond to Pope Leo in scripture?

MIKE JOHNSON: Sovereign borders are biblical and right and just. It's not because we hate the people on the outside. It's because we love the people on the inside.

The argument that people having rights makes law enforcement more difficult is not remotely convincing.

We already live in a surveillance state.

ICE lets its agents wear masks so they can’t be identified; meanwhile, they scan our faces. They know who we are, where we’ve been, and who we’re connected to.

They’re openly building a 24/7 social media surveillance operation.

It's hard for regular people to understand how fundamentally batshit crazy and malevolent the team running HHS/NIH is right now. More of this please. Much, much more.
I'd say it's less outrageous than simply absurd but it's those too. I mean, you go into NIH and you close down the ability to review or issue grants, send out stop work orders and then fire half the people. That's probably going to have an impact on research and patient care.
BHATTACHARYA: I do not believe patients' care was disrupted. If there were disruptions, it's the responsibility of the researchers, not the NHS

HASSAN: That is an unacceptable and outrageous response. You can make an edict - 'Don't disrupt care!' - but that can be a very complicated thing

ICE is running a “conveyor belt” of illegally detained Minnesota families.

Agents are arresting entire families with legal status and immediately shipping them off to Texas to deny them legal representation and avoid the federal courts in Minnesota.

The cruelty is endless.

I used to advise people not to even accept a free cup of coffee from someone who had interests before them. And staff followed those rules.
