If you hate the Pope because he is too “liberal”, I have some very bad news for you about Jesus.

The fact that I know more about Katy Perry and Lauren Sánchez’s 11-minute space trip than I do about Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito’s decades-long crime spree shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

Senator Van Hollen’s commitment to the Abrego Garcia case isn’t performative. Wearing an overnight maxi pad on your ear after an “assassination attempt” is performative.

There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you. Senator Van Hollen lives this attitude – and planted hope in hopelessness. (I’m not crying, you’re crying.)
