Our government posts memes and videos mocking and laughing at the suffering of immigrants and refugees. This is one more sick sign that something has broken in our souls.

NEW: Every week, a Philadelphia nun drives to the immigration court in Harlingen, Texas, to sit beside unaccompanied children, some as young as four, who face a deportation judge with no lawyer and no parent.
This week, an undocumented migrant who is facing imminent deportation called Sister Rose Kuhn his “angel.”
This comes as Catholics across the nation, inspired by Pope Leo XIV, are standing up to the White House’s immigration policies.

Again we laugh at this but the ignorance and the stupidity and the conspiracism is gonna kill us all. We should treat public education and public health as national emergencies.
Jason Selvig: “How would you rate the job that Donald Trump’s done thus far in his 2nd term?”
Trump supporter: “I think he’s done fabulous and I think it’s a 3rd term. He’s awakening the country that has not been aware of the corrupt swamp and what they been doing. I think he had full control while Biden was in office. He had to let Biden cheat, he knew it was gonna happen so he let him in and Obama ran this place from the basement. President Trump still had control of the military so there wasn’t much Biden or Obama was gonna be able to do militarily except open them gates”

Loyal Drummond supporter and life-long moderate republican here.
I went to an event to meet Cyndi Munson. I knew that the Mazzei campaigned had perpetually lied about Gentner regarding this ridiculous transgender issue and I wanted to visit with her about it in order to make an intelligent and objective decision. The picture of her floating around wearing a "trans kids" t- shirt is AI generated!
Just as I thought, she too is a victim of MAGA Mazzei lies and propaganda. She unequivocally is FOR parental rights and AGAINST minors being able to make this decision.
Regarding abortion rights, her stance is "let the people of Oklahoma vote on it." She is NOT the staunch radical pro-choice extremist that Mazzei has portrayed her to be.
Listen, I consider myself very pro-life. I have two beautiful daughters and an amazing grandson, but I would go 100% scorched earth if the state of Oklahoma forced my daughters to have a child after being raped, or if there was a serious condition that jeopardized the life of my daughters.
We have endured 16 years of tragic failure due to Fallin and Stitt platforms, and now the MAGA Mazzei crowd are asking us to bend over once again.
DO NOT BELIEVE THE MAGA MAZZIE LIES! No, she is not a radical socialist and communist sympathizer! There's a picture going around where a Muslim man is taking a selfie. Munson and several other "white,black, and Asian Americans are in the background. You bigoted MAGA trash act like this is some sort of smoking gun. What's your fùcking point? Ironically, Mazzei is the one who threw his skirt up and accepted a foreign-owned Muslim company owning Oklahoma land. By the way, I have met the Muslim American man taking the selfie at a wedding and he behaves way more Godly than the majority of MAGA Christians.
Most Oklahomans are ready for tangible change. Unfortunately, Gentner lost and I refuse to vote for four more years of the status quo in order to not be called a RINO. I don't give a shìt anymore, so Cyndi has my vote, and I hope you will consider it as well.
Munson will be in Hominy and Pawhuska tomorrow. Come meet her and make up your mind for yourself.

The American people are waking up. In all my abuse cases, it’s the powerful over the vulnerable. Same is true of America. Left, Right, Independent alike—the real divide isn’t red vs. blue, but the powerful vs. the rest of us. Identify the bullies. Stop them.

The Mike Mazzei campaign tried to assuage concerns about fluoride emissions from the Inola smelter with a list of other things that contain fluoride, including “GRAPES & RAISENS,” “STAIN RESISTENAT CARPET” and “PHOSPHATE FERTALIZER.”

The White House decided there was a threat so great that Donald Trump was secretly moved to another plane but they never told the passengers on Air Force One. Cowards look out for themselves. Leaders look out for their people.

Trump was shown an assessment at Camp David last week that the military doesn't have enough munitions left to safely order an escalation against Iran. He reportedly raged at his own national security team and barked at aides. Days later he posted on Truth Social that reports of a shortage are false and that anyone leaking them is committing treason.
Meanwhile his own defense secretary has been denying the shortage directly to Trump's face, as recently as last week, according to a U.S. official. That same defense secretary went to Capitol Hill days later and asked Congress for billions in emergency funding to replenish the exact stockpiles he's telling the president don't need replenishing. You don't get to deny a problem exists and ask for emergency money to fix it in the same week.
None of this is one outlet's read. CNN, Al Jazeera and The Hill each independently reported the same picture this week: interceptor stocks for the systems protecting troops and allies from incoming missiles are seriously depleted, and full replenishment could take years.
“Even when troops see Iranian missiles approaching, they are forced to decide in a matter of seconds whether to expend a limited number of interceptors or hope for the best, the U.S. defense officials told us” theatlantic.com/national-sec…

James lost everything in a house fire two years ago, including his dog Cooper. He searched everywhere but never found him. Yesterday, he went to volunteer at a rural shelter. A volunteer was walking dogs past him. One dog stopped, stared, then started pulling toward James. James looked closer. The dog had the same scar on his ear. "Cooper?" he whispered. The dog went absolutely wild. James collapsed on the concrete. They're going home today. Sometimes miracles take two years.

Birthright citizenship is especially noxious to the populist right. They scorn it as relying on magic dirt — the idea that there is something inherent in American soil that makes a person an American citizen.
Yet the same populists seem to believe in something like magic blood — that one’s lineage can make one superior.
America doesn’t have magic dirt, and it certainly doesn’t have magic blood. But it does have a magic idea — the creed that declares “that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” nytimes.com/2026/07/09/opini…

Ken Burns, my favorite documentary filmmaker, has spent 50 years telling the American story, including of the Revolution itself. Nobody alive has looked harder at who we are and how we got here.
So when he warns us, we should listen.
Burns said the founders would not be surprised by a president’s reach for authoritarian power. But what would leave them completely disappointed is how poorly Republicans in Congress have responded.
Article I, the branch the founders built first and strongest to be the bulwark against exactly this, has abdicated its power and handed it to the executive.
The executive was supposed to carry out the will of the people’s representatives, not rule over them. Right now a Republican majority is choosing to surrender that authority to Donald Trump rather than do the job the Constitution gave them.
I took an oath to the Constitution, not to a party or a a president.
The whole point of this new thing the founders created in 1776, was that we do not suffer under authoritarian rule quietly.
We must keep fighting to make Congress do its job.

😂 This is why so many of us accidentally got a classical music education from Saturday morning cartoons.
Warner Bros took absolute bangers from “fancy dead European dudes,” added anvils, explosions, and one very unlucky coyote… and turned them into generational earworms.
Huge credit to the legend @Vinheteiro for this perfect medley that’s been living rent-free in our heads for years.
Childhood = classical music class without realizing it 😂🎹💥
What’s the one piece that instantly takes you back to Looney Tunes?

Starting in early 2025, Elon Musk and the Trump administration began terminating USAID's programs and firing its staff — with Musk himself boasting about "feeding it into the woodchipper." One year ago today, USAID was officially dissolved, its remaining programs haphazardly folded into the State Department. Amid all the lies and misinformation that have followed, some facts about what has actually been lost:
• USAID saved more than 3 million lives a year at a cost of less than $10/month per American. That is what was destroyed. On purpose.
• According to Boston University's Global Impact Counter — which tracked deaths attributable to the cuts until it stopped operations in February 2026 — an estimated 781,000 people died preventable deaths in the first year, including 518,000 children.
• Global child mortality (the number of children who die before their fifth birthday) rose in 2025 for the first time in 35+ years — by 200,000 additional deaths.
• USAID's 50-country disease surveillance network — the system that cut outbreak response times from 2 weeks to 48 hours — is gone. We are now watching an unprecedented Ebola outbreak unfold in real time — with the highest first-month caseload and death rate in modern history.
• Programs reaching 93 million women and children were cut 92%. TB programs cut 56%. Water and sanitation cut 86%. Over 2,000 health facilities permanently closed.
• 25 million fewer people received humanitarian assistance in 2025. The overall humanitarian budget was slashed 74% — from $14.1 billion to $3.7 billion.
• 363 million people face acute hunger in 2026. The famine early-warning system that would have seen it coming went dark for five months.
• $1.7 billion in democracy and governance funding (election monitoring, anti-corruption work, support for independent media and civil society) was terminated.
• 360+ independent media outlets lost funding. Hundreds of legal clinics closed.
• Far from saving money, the Trump administration itself has already said the dismantlement will cost taxpayers at least $19.2 billion in cancellation fees, severance, and penalties. That's more than half of USAID's annual budget — spent on destruction and closeout, not support for vulnerable people.
• American farmers, universities, and businesses are among the casualties too. USAID partnered with more than 3,500 U.S. companies and maintained 17 university-based research labs. Its work with U.S.-based contractors and the private sector generated hundreds of thousands of American jobs and multiplied the return on every dollar spent. Those markets and partnerships are gone.

Elon Musk is now a trillionaire. More specifically, his net worth is $1.2 trillion or $1200 billion. That number doesn’t even compute for most of us, so here is some helpful context:
The USDA needs $18.8 billion to feed every child in the US school system breakfast and lunch each day. Elon could pay for that 64x and still have money leftover.
The World Food Program needs $13 billion to feed the 110 million hungriest people on earth. Elon could pay for that 92x and still have money leftover.
The National Alliance to End Homelessness needs $9.6 billion to provide housing for every unhoused person in the United States. Elon could pay for that 125x and still have money leftover.
The average American teacher makes $74,495 per year. Elon could pay the annual salary of over 16 million teachers and still have money leftover.
The problem is not that we don’t have enough money. The problem is that we have built a world where one person can accumulate more wealth than the GDP of 180 countries while children go hungry, families drown in medical debt, teachers are forced to buy school supplies for their students, and people sleep on the streets.
This is a complete moral failure.

Here's the thing: if you're in a megachurch like this, you may think the services and amenities are really great, but you're actually missing out on the depth that the church is meant to offer. Church is meant to be relational, and this is a really sad substitute for that.

New statement from Scott Pelley:
There has never been anything in America like 60 Minutes.
The Sunday tradition is the most successful program of any kind in history. For more than a decade, its innovative growth on every major online platform has extended its reach to countless millions around the world. This spring, at the end of our 58thseason, 60 Minutes grew rapidly with an unheard-of 9% jump in viewers on CBS.
“60” has been the number-one program in America for decades because our beloved audience finds integrity, quality, and humanity in our stories. When stewardship of the program passed to my colleagues and me, our responsibility was to expand energetically into a new age of media technology while preserving the values our audience expects. Now, the new owner of our network is casting this legend aside, apparently to curry a moment of favor with the Trump administration.
The waste is heartbreaking.
Last month, 60 Minutes lost its DNA when our entire senior leadership and two of our best on-air correspondents were cruelly fired without cause. Good people were silenced because they stood up for our audience. They stood for fairness against the forces of political bias; they stood for professionalism against chaos.
For my part, new management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them. Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done. Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.
At 60 Minutes, we have fought harder than anyone knows to save the program that became an American icon. We owed that to our millions of viewers. I am deeply moved by the thousands of wishes we have received to “keep up the good fight.” Most of the men and women of CBS News are still in that fight. But now the collapse of values at the top has become untenable. The leadership of 60 Minutes is no longer recognizable. The principles I hold dear are gone, and so I must leave as well.
I depart after 37 years at CBS with one emotion—a heart brimming with gratitude for the men and women of CBS News who encouraged and enriched my work, very often at the risk of their own lives. I pray for a day when those people and their ideals are honored again—a day when sanity, competence, and courage return.
