NEW from me and Aleja Hertzler-McCain: Last month something peculiar happened: Catholic bishops signed two conflicting statements about the GOP budget bill — one mixing criticism praise, and one condemning it outright.

It’s part of a split emerging among Catholic leaders — and nuns! — that’s years in the making, accelerated by Trump. religionnews.com/2025/07/09/tr

Making American consumers pay more and starting yet another expensive trade war because the old man president is angry that a country is holding his corrupt, authoritarian friend accountable.

Guess everyone is going to have to learn the hard way. Just sucks that we have to be dragged down with them.

In today's unsurprising news, Elon Musk created a chatbot that named itself “MechaHitler” and called for a second Holocaust.

The Trump admin is investigating and deporting antisemitic immigrants now, right? Or is that only for brown ones who call for ceasefires?

Who had "Roger Stone and Elon Musk team up against Steve Bannon and add jet fuel to the Epstein story while Trump is trying to wave MAGA press off Epstein" on their 2025 Bingo cards?

Screenshot of tweet from Roger Stone and reply from Elon Musk, both on July 8:

Stone: "Why would Bannon meet with Jeffrey Epstein both at his New York home and in Paris after Epstein was convicted on sex crimes in Florida? Why would he coach Epstein for his 60 minutes appearance?"

Musk: "Bannon is in the Epstein files"

GOP is the party of tax cuts for the wealthy and the Jan. 6 terrorist attack. youtube.com/shorts/rJdMCYicTpw
