- Reposted by Leia TaillefurGood Morning to you! Joe and Jake are two Scottish cats who love to wake me up in the morning. Joe watches patiently while Jake gets right up in my grille to stop me looking at my phone. They want their first breakfast, and they want it now. They are persuasive cats who get their way. Namaste!
- Reposted by Leia TaillefurWait! The public face of nationwide immigration enforcement, Gregory Bovino, said in a newly discovered email that his boss wasn’t the head of CBP. He reported to Corey Lewandowski instead. He’s a political operative with zero law-enforcement background calling the shots on immigration enforcement.

- No saints today. Read about St Agatha if you're up to a long and gruesome story (short version w,/image). All others are too skimpy or too modern.

- Reposted by Leia TaillefurThe Justice Department ordinarily would prevent attacks on voting rights. Now it’s carrying them out.
- Reposted by Leia TaillefurTrump's big, ugly budget megabill gives ICE more agents than the FBI, more jails than the federal Bureau of Prisons, and a larger budget than most countries' militaries. Not one more penny for ICE.
- Reposted by Leia TaillefurFor the record: I will not send another cent to Kristi Noem or Stephen Miller while the department they run is shredding the Constitution and murdering American citizens in the streets. A two-week extension is two weeks too long. I’m voting no.

- Reposted by Leia TaillefurGarcia: I want to remind the American public of Stephen Miller. There's probably no single person in this government that has done more damage and more harm to people across this country than this man right here. It's our job to hold him responsible
- Reposted by Leia TaillefurStephen Miller, Trump’s Deputy Chief of Staff and puppet master, is complaining about unelected judges making rulings he doesn’t like. Funny, I don’t recall Stephen Miller getting elected to any office. He didn’t even have to be nominated and confirmed for his position. Pot. Kettle. Black.
- Reposted by Leia TaillefurWe need to listen carefully and listen closely. Trump is telegraphing his playbook to steal the 2026 elections. Here’s how he will do it. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...
- Pope Leo today: "Whoever … thinks that he understands the Holy Scriptures … but puts such an interpretation upon them as does not tend to build up this twofold love of God and our neighbor, does not yet understand them as he ought.”

- Reposted by Leia TaillefurJames Comer is bringing Hillary Clinton before his committee to testify about Epstein despite having zero contact with him, but not Epstein’s neighbor Howard Lutnick who lied about his connections to Epstein over many years which is proven in the files.
- Reposted by Leia TaillefurImagine seeing photos and videos of ugly old men raping underage girls and thinking, "I need to protect those horrible men at all costs."? Pam Bondi is a soulless villain.

- OTD 211 d Emperor Septimius Severus,unpopular w/senators bc he killed many of them. Powerful wife Julia Domna accompanied him on military campaigns. 208 went to Britain to strengthen Hadrian's Wall & tried to take Caledonia. Final words to sons:"Keep soldiers happy & dont worry about the rest."
- Like🍷? The wine barrels of almoner St Aventinus of Troyes (d 638) never ran dry!He retreated to the forest as a hermit & animals sought him out for protection fm hunters. A bear whose paw had been pierced by a thorn came to him. After removing it, the bear hugged him. Ruins of oratory mark the spot.

- Reposted by Leia TaillefurIf Congress doesn’t act, the last nuclear arms control treaty between the U.S. and Russia will expire. It would pointlessly wipe out decades of diplomacy, and could spark another arms race that makes the world less safe. This piece is worth the read.
