I'm not bullshitting you. This is a voting location in my congressional district.

After we win the election, I'll be sure to drape the place with HALE YES flags.
I should properly credit the Bradley County Democrats with the photo. Thanks for doing your due diligence, y'all.
We won’t the let Tennessee election authorities get away with this flagrant act of voter intimidation and suppression.

We’ll fight back, and Lord knows, we’ll win—especially on November 3.
My opponent pulled a gun on his first wife & shot it, pressured her and a mistress into three abortions, & illegally prescribed pills to a patient he was sleeping with.

Me? I didn't do any of that.

I'll give you health care though.

Chip in right away. secure.actblue.com/donate/cjhfortn

NEW: Pope Leo XIV has named Salvadoran immigrant Evelio Menijar-Ayala to be West Virginia’s lone Catholic bishop.

As a teenager, he made three attempts to enter the United States illegally.

He finally arrived in California in 1990, having been smuggled in the trunk of a car with his brother over the border crossing between Tijuana and San Diego.

Over the next several years, Menjivar-Ayala worked janitorial and construction jobs in California before deciding to become a priest.

It’s a remarkable choice in a state that is over 90% white and voted for President Trump by 42 points.Image
NEW: Pope Leo XIV appoints the youngest bishop in the United States.

Robert Boxie III, 46, is a new auxiliary bishop of Washington.

Boxie has been outspoken against the White House’s attacks against racial diversity.

“It’s really frustrating — especially this moment that we’re living in. The attacks on ‘DEI’ — I don’t even know what that means anymore. It’s a term that’s been hijacked. It means a lot of things to a lot of different people.”

“I think at its core, it’s what America is all about. We are a diverse nation with people from all over the world. Diversity is a good thing. Diversity is of God.”

“And the fact that it’s been turned into something negative — or something that should be avoided or not talked about — just flies in the face of who we are as Americans.”

“So much of our history has been exclusive, especially when it comes to race. And it’s just un-American; it’s un-Christian; it’s anti-Catholic.”Image
Pope Leo XIV’s last tweet before his election praised the bishop’s work and criticized Trump’s relationship with the Salvadoran president. Image

NEW: Trump’s border czar Tom Homan says he wants to take Pope Leo XIV on ICE raids so he can educate him on Catholic teaching about deportations — arguing his 1960s Catholic grade school education qualifies him to correct the pontiff on migration.

This is the same Tom Homan who was caught taking a $50,000 bribe in an FBI sting. thelettersfromleo.com/p/trump-border…
Here’s Tom Homan’s most recent exchange with Benny Johnson where he brags about “calling out” Pope Leo XIV on immigration.
Just two weeks ago, Tom Homan told Pope Leo XIV he “doesn’t know what he’s talking about” on immigration.

In his strongest condemnation yet of the Trump-Vance war against Iran, Pope Leo XIV said today:

“We are surrounded by a delusion of omnipotence that’s becoming increasingly unpredictable and aggressive.”

“We are met by threats instead of invitations to come together.

“Those who pray don’t threaten death. Death enslaves those who have turned their backs on God and turned themselves and their own power into a mute, blind, and deaf idol.

“They demand the whole world bends their knee. Enough of the idolatry of self and money! Enough of the display of power! Enough of war!

“True strength is shown in serving life!”
NEW: In a prayer vigil for peace, Pope Leo XIV delivered his sharpest condemnation of the Trump-Vance war on Iran to date.

He called the current moment a “delusion of omnipotence” and condemned the dragging of God's name “into discourses of death.”

Leaders who turn their backs on God, the pope said, have turned themselves and their own power into a “mute, blind, and deaf idol” that demands the whole world bend its knee.

"Enough of war. True strength is shown in serving life."

He told the faithful that he receives letters from children in war zones every day.

“They tell of the pain and sorrow of war, while grown-ups boast of its effects. We must listen to the children.” thelettersfromleo.com/p/enough-of-wa…

NEW: A stunning new report claims that the Pentagon summoned Pope Leo XIV’s top American diplomat and threatened him after the U.S.-born pontiff gave his January state-of-the-world address.

Leo used the address to denounce a world ruled by “a diplomacy based on force” and “zeal for war.”
thelettersfromleo.com/p/the-pentagon…
In January, behind closed doors at the Pentagon, Under Secretary of War for Policy Elbridge Colby summoned Cardinal Christophe Pierre — Pope Leo XIV’s then-ambassador to the United States — and delivered a lecture.

America, Colby and his colleagues told the cardinal, has the military power to do whatever it wants in the world. The Catholic Church had better take its side.

As tempers rose, one U.S. official reached for a fourteenth-century weapon and invoked the Avignon Papacy, the period when the French Crown used military force to bend the bishop of Rome to its will.

That scene, broken this week by Mattia Ferraresi in an extraordinary piece of journalism for The Free Press, may be the most remarkable moment in the long and knotted history of the American republic’s relationship with the Catholic Church. substack.com/home/post/p-19…
I encourage you to follow @MattiaFerraresi for more great journalism.

I have a list of over 300 Members of Congress cell phone numbers.

If the president is threatening nuclear war, perhaps it’s time to publish it, so we can end this nonsense once and for all.

NEW: Cardinal Dolan accuses the Trump-Vance ICE of “targeting, harassing, and going into” Catholic parishes.

He called it a major violation of religious liberty.
Here’s a thread of the Trump-Vance White House targeting and harassing Catholic parishes over the past year:
Francisco Paredes served his Minnesota Catholic parish faithfully for years.

Then ICE arrested him in the church parking lot and deported him before Christmas.

Weeks later, masked agents returned during Sunday Mass. The parish priest says it feels like a war zone.

Now Catholic leaders are calling it what it is: an anti-Catholic campaign.

They say the Trump-Vance White House is targeting parishes that welcome immigrants — using fear and raids to drive families from the pews. thelettersfromleo.com/p/in-anti-cath…
