The Vatican today named one of the leading liberal Catholic prelates in America to run the prominent D. C.-area archdiocese, sending to the nation’s capital, as a second Trump administration begins, a cleric known for a pastoral approach to migrants and for the “radical inclusion” of the LGBTQ+ community. If you think this was a shot across the bow at Trump and MAGA, you would be right.

Official merchandise sales from Donald Trump's inaugural committee can be used to cover Trump’s personal expenses -- including legal fees. In other words, those million-dollar "inaugural donations" made by top CEOs like Jeff Bezos, Tim Cook, and companies like Meta, OpenAI, Uber, and Robinhood are little more than discreet bribes, since news organizations don't have the stones to point it out.

Treasonous Trump hasn’t been sworn in yet, but his impending return has already upended hundreds of prosecutions against his Jan. 6 flying monkeys, and has disrupted the ongoing effort to arrest more rioters -- er, "patriots." Via CNN: The historic effort by Justice Department prosecutors and FBI agents to investigate the deadly Trump-inspired storming of the Capitol has led to more than 1,570 arrests in nearly all 50 states, making it the largest criminal probe in American history.

Mike Johnson was just humiliated YET AGAIN, rejected by House Republicans til Trump called and threatened 2 of them to support Johnson, and still he managed only a mere one-vote win as Speaker. I give him 3 months. Because Trump's maladjusted supporters are predictably at war with each other, which portends more chaos to come. Look, this isn't ad hominem, it's simple truth.
