Army Ammunition Plant Is Tied to Mass Shootings Across the U.S.
“A Defense Department official, in a statement, said “commercial utilization brings lower costs to the Army and taxpayer, and keeps a skilled work force better positioned to respond to surge requirements.” The official said a 2021 study found that the government received a 10 to 15 percent discount on ammunition by allowing commercial sales.”

Mr. Miller said Mr. Trump would invoke Title 42, citing “severe strains of the flu, tuberculosis, scabies, other respiratory illnesses like R.S.V. and so on, or just a general issue of mass migration being a public health threat and conveying a variety of communicable diseases.”
This is unfounded & inhumane xenophobia coming from the Trump camp. Gross.
Should this country elect this former president again, we will surely see our democracy become a dictatorship.

Mourning Richard Gaillardetz, an exemplary Catholic theologian, mentor and friend
Hearing this news, I was immediately reminded of this go-to book on ecclesiology and authority: By What Authority? by Richard R. Gaillardetz 📚
I remember having the opportunity to hear him speak when he was at the University of Toledo. I will fondly recall his deep knowledge and the grace with which he shared complex ideas. #RIP
