- It's even worse than @robertscotthorton.bsky.social notes below. Certainly there are those (at least a few) on the White House staff that know where Columbus landed. Yet they are unwilling / unable to tell Trump and they put out this BS. Truly the emperor with no clothes.

- Reposted by Ray Glennon OFSThe most basic gun rule is don't point your weapon at something you don't intend to shoot and don't shoot something you don't intend to kill. So there are only two possibilities here: EITHER the agents were willing to murder observers OR they have never received any firearms training. 🧵

- I'm not surprised. Idolatry at its finest. And as a Catholic, I can imagine that watching the Melania movie would be a way to experience hell before dying--and earning time off of purgatory as well. (Not that I have any intention of watching.)
- Bulk sales of tickets to Melania are being promoted through emails from WH Faith Office advisor Paula White-Cain using her National Faith Advisory Board list. People are encouraged to purchase 30 tickets at a time to “support our First Lady.” meidasnews.com/news/exclusi...

- Reposted by Ray Glennon OFSThis is funny, but also brilliant. Once people go down the path (of any wrong decision), it is sooooo hard to turn back -- because it is tantamount to admitting you were foolish. As hard as it is, we need to offer soft landings and gentle off ramps (which is what we'd want too)
