#NameDay #Timothy

Catholic personnel in the US military could in good conscience consider disobeying orders to attack Greenland,
according to the bishop responsible for their pastoral care.

The Archbishop of the Military Services #Timothy #Broglio said personnel
“could be put in a situation where they’re being ordered to do something that’s morally questionable”
if the US acted on President Donald Trump’s threats of military action to take control of Greenland.

Speaking on the BBC’s Sunday program
on 18 January,
Archbishop Broglio said it would be “very difficult for a soldier or a marine or a sailor by himself to disobey an order such as that”,

but “within the realm of their own conscience it would be morally acceptable to disobey”.

In December, the archbishop issued a statement condemning a “second strike” by US forces on an alleged drug trafficking vessel in the Caribbean,
insisting that “the moral principle forbidding the intentional killing of noncombatants is inviolable”.

He told Sunday he was concerned as a pastor to military personnel that US policy ignored
“the proper way and the moral way to respond to these situations”.

“Men and women under my charge were being forced to engage in situations that were not necessary,” he said,
referring to the strikes in the Caribbean. 

Any action against Greenland, he continued,
“doesn’t seem necessary,
doesn’t seem acceptable”.

“Greenland is a territory of Denmark [and] Denmark is an ally,” he said.

“It does not seem really reasonable that the United States would attack and occupy a friendly nation.”

2/3

When he was in office, Trump went out of his way to find ways to hurt Amazon to get back at Bezos for unfavorable coverage in the Post. 

Los Angeles Times editorial page editor #Mariel #Garza, along with journalists Robert Greene and Karin Klein, resigned from the paper after its decision not to endorse Harris,
💥and nearly 2,000 readers canceled their subscriptions.

The Washington Post, too, has seen 💥about 2,000 subscribers bow out,
and fourteen of the newspaper’s columnists called the decision not to condemn Trump’s threats to the “freedom of the press and the values of the Constitution” “a terrible mistake.”

Cartoonist Ann Telnaes published a blacked-out square, playing on the Post’s motto that democracy dies in darkness.
Readers are speaking out against the Washington Post for demonstrating what scholar of authoritarianism #Timothy #Snyder calls “obeying in advance” the demands of an authoritarian leader
(although Washington Post legal journalist Ruth Marcus, who signed the letter calling the decision a terrible mistake, pointed out that the Postitself was publishing the many letters of condemnation).

“Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given,” Snyder’s “On Tyranny” reads.
“In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then offer themselves without being asked.

A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do.”

The aftermath of the Post’s decision demonstrated what scholars say will happen after such obeying.
Rather than winning favors, such a demonstration of weakness invites further abuse, as anyone who has watched Trump in action ought to know by now. 

Trump’s people pounced, with advisor #Stephen #Miller posting:
“You know the Kamala campaign is sinking when even the Washington Post refuses to endorse.”

Trump then promptly went a step further, claiming that Democrats had taken part in “rampant Cheating and Skullduggery…in the 2020 presidential election” and warning that in 2024, “WHEN I WIN, those people that CHEATED will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the Law, which will include long term prison sentences so that this Depravity of Justice does not happen again…. Please beware that this legal exposure extends to Lawyers, Political Operatives, Donors, Illegal Voters, & Corrupt Election Officials. Those involved in unscrupulous behavior will be sought out, caught, and prosecuted at levels, unfortunately, never seen before in our Country.”

Trump’s threats are designed to convince people he is a strongman who will inevitably win the 2024 presidential election.

But to do that, he will have to go through the voters, who are demonstrating their enthusiasm for Democratic candidate Harris and her running mate, Minnesota governor Tim Walz.

Trump was fund-raising off his conviction with small-dollar donors as well;

His campaign, which portrayed him as the victim of a politicized justice system, brought in nearly $53 million in the twenty-four hours after the verdict.

Several megadonors who had held back from endorsing Trump announced that they were now supporting him,
including
🔸#Miriam #Adelson, the widow of the late casino mogul #Sheldon Adelson;
🔸the Silicon Valley investor #David #Sacks, who said that the case against Trump was a sign of America turning into a “Banana Republic”;
🔸and the venture capitalist #Shaun #Maguire, who, less than an hour after the verdict, posted on X that he was donating $300,000 to Trump, 👉calling the prosecution a “radicalizing experience.” 👈

A day later, #Timothy #Mellon, the banking-family scion, wrote a $50-million check to the Make America Great Again super pac.

#Ed #Rogers, a longtime G.O.P. lobbyist, had never publicly endorsed Trump or raised money for his campaigns.

On May 31st, the day after Trump’s conviction, he sent his first contribution to the ex-President. “There was no case to make that that was not targeted prosecution,” he told me.

He predicted that other Republicans who, like him, had been “allergic” to Trump would now get on board as well.

“I tell people I am a Bill Barr, Chris Sununu, Nikki Haley Republican,” he said, listing the names of Republican officials who had criticized Trump in blistering terms only to support him again in 2024;

Haley, despite having called Trump “unhinged” and a threat to the Republic, had announced the week before his conviction that she would vote for him.

“The choices are 🔹Biden or Trump🔹, and I’m at peace with that,” Rogers said in June.
“I wish it was a different equation, but it’s not.”

❗️Many donors I spoke with at the time described
🧨Trump’s trial as an impetus,
but they tended to cite a litany of other reasons, too, including questions about
🔸Biden’s age and fitness to serve another term, concerns about his
🔸economic policies, and gripes about some of his
🔸appointees, such as the head of the Federal Trade Commission, Lina Khan, who has launched high-profile antitrust investigations.

Trump, despite his populist rhetoric, deficit spending, and support for market-distorting tariffs,
has sold himself as a pro-business candidate.

He has promised extensive deregulation,
nearly unfettered drilling for oil and gas,
and tax cuts for corporations and wealthy individuals.

“A lot of the donors have just come to the conclusion that, when you add it all up,
the risks with Trump are behavioral
—personal behavior and what he says
—versus the policies,” the attendee at the Fifth Avenue fund-raiser told me.

It was a “rationalization” adopted by “even those who were initially very put off, very alienated, by his behavior at the end of his Presidency.”

🆘 By late May, Trump’s campaign had more money in the bank than Biden’s.

The incumbent President’s disastrous performance in a June 27th debate against Trump only accelerated the trend.

“After the debate, Biden looks like a loser,
so these people who were never going to give to Biden,
they’re now even more attracted to the idea of giving to former President Trump,”
the attendee at Fanjul’s dinner said.

“Because he looks like a winner.”

The following month, as Democratic donors and elected officials frantically pressured Biden to drop out of the race,
Trump and the Republicans again outraised the Democrats.

“The Zeitgeist in the business world is that Trump is going to be President again,”
a billionaire C.E.O. who is not a Trump supporter told me at the time.

“Therefore, why fall on your sword on principle?”

He added, “Businesspeople
—their main focus in life is to make money,
and you make money by backing winners. . . .

They’ve concluded, O.K., he’s going to be President,
let’s hold our nose and do what we have to do.”

Conservative billionaire #Timothy #Mellon,
an heir of the Pittsburgh-based Mellon banking family,
🆘gave another $50 million last month to a super PAC supporting Republican Donald Trump's presidential bid.

The super PAC, known as #MAGA #Inc, has been 💥ramping up outlays on television ads 💥supporting Trump's candidacy and attacking Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris.

MAGA Inc disclosed in a filing to the Federal Election Commission that it took in more than $54 million from donors last month,
👉with most of the money coming from Mellon.

🆘Mellon has given MAGA Inc at least $115 million this year, including a $50 million contribution in May, disclosures show.

Mellon, who lives in Wyoming and is rarely photographed, is an amateur pilot who has invested in and led transport-related companies.

Forbes estimates that the Mellon family is worth some $14.1 billion.

The largest donor of the 2024 presidential campaign, by far, is #Timothy #Mellon,
the reclusive billionaire and heir to the Mellon banking fortune.
Mellon was already the largest donor after donating $25 million each to the Super PACs supporting the presidential campaigns of Donald Trump (MAGA Inc.) and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (American Values 2024).
Then, Mellon donated another $50 million to MAGA Inc. on May 31, the day after Trump was convicted of committing 34 felonies. 
♦️Mellon's $75 million contribution to MAGA Inc. represents almost half of the group's total fundraising. ♦️

Mellon has also donated millions more to other conservative causes this cycle. 

Despite his political spending, little is known about Mellon.

The most detailed account of Mellon's views comes from his self-published 2015 autobiography. "This book was not ghost-written: every single word is my own,"
Mellon said in a press release announcing its publication.

People who wanted to purchase the book were required to make a $9 donation to Hillsdale College, a private Christian institution that aggressively promotes right-wing ideology or another conservative group. 

Mellon also has a history of
👉supporting candidates that he thinks will damage the Democratic Party. 👈

In 2018, for example, Mellon donated $2,700 to Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY).
In an interview with Bloomberg, Mellon explained the donation was because
“he thought that, if elected, her outspokenness would cause headaches for Democrats.”

Ocasio-Cortez’s campaign tried to refund the donation, but Mellon said he would “neither cash nor deposit the check but rather, frame it.”

The Wall Street Journal reported that Mellon also donated $5,800 to Senator Joe #Manchin (I-WV) in 2021 and 2022 and $2,900 to Senator Kyrsten #Sinema (I-AZ) in 2022,
two politicians who have a history of obstructing Democratic policy priorities.

Mellon's other massive donation

In 2021, Mellon donated $53 million to Texas Governor Greg #Abbott’s (R) fundraising campaign to build a border wall.

According to the Texas Tribune, Mellon’s donation “contributed nearly 98% of the fund’s total donations.”

In June 2021, Abbott announced a plan to build a state-funded wall on the Mexico border. Abbott “expected people to both donate their own money and volunteer their land for the barrier.”

The plan is part of Abbott’s Operation Lone Star, which seeks to subvert federal immigration policy. In addition to the barriers, some of which are topped with razor wire, Texas has authorized “Texas National Guard soldiers and state troopers to arrest” undocumented migrants.

This has created safety concerns and “essentially criminalizes seeking asylum,” which migrants have the right to pursue under federal law.

The Wall Street Journal reported that “people familiar with [Mellon’s] thinking” said that 🔸“[o]ne of the main issues driving Mellon’s giving is immigration.” 🔸

In 2010, Mellon gave $1.5 million “to help the state of Arizona defend a controversial law that required police to determine the immigration status of people suspected of living in the U.S. illegally, which critics said could lead to racial profiling.”

Leonard Leo’s ambitions extend beyond the courts.

Organizations within his network have reportedly funded at least 40 groups advising Project 2025, per NBC News. 

Leo is also linked to
💥Project 2025 💥co-author #Roger #Severino
—VP of 💥Domestic Policy at Heritage💥
—who served as the Director of the Office of Civil Rights in the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) under Trump.

Severino began his career at the💥 “Becket Fund for Religious Liberty” 💥where Leo sits on the board of directors.

Severino is one half of a “Catholic Right” power couple.
The other half is Leonard Leo protégé Carrie Severino, who previously clerked for Becket and #Clarence #Thomas.  

It was Roger Severino who wrote the section of Project 2025 outlining a ⭐️plan to withdraw the FDA’s approval of the abortion pill ⭐️(mifepristone),
which is also under attack in a case pending before the Supreme Court.

If the religious right fails to convince the Supreme Court, Project 2025 is their “Plan B” (pun intended). 

Leo and his network are also linked to #Kevin #Roberts,
a rabidly partisan fundamentalist Catholic activist,
who has served as president of Heritage since 2021. 

In 2020, Roberts had been featured on the Resources page of “WhereYouAre,” which calls itself a “collaboration of people in touch with … centers of Opus Dei in Texas.”

#Opus #Dei is a “small but powerful”  group “within the Catholic Church” whose members “abide by strict conservative teachings''
and “believe they are called to serve God” not only in their personal lives, but also in their professions, per the Australian Broadcasing Center.

Many of Opus Deis’ members keep their membership a secret. 

Leo reportedly belongs to Opus Dei. 

Leo also sits on the 💥Napa Legal Institute’s 💥board of directors,
a faith based organization whose chairman of the board is #Timothy #Busch,
one of Leo’s closest allies.

Bush co-founded Napa Legal’s sister organization, the 💥Napa Institute💥, whose annual conference in July 2022 included Kevin Roberts as a speaker. Leo is a Napa Institute donor. 

In December that year, Busch announced that the Napa Institute would open an office near the U.S. Capitol within the headquarters of the 💥Eternal World Television Network  💥(EWTN),
a global Catholic-themed television and radio network. 

The month before, Kevin Roberts had been interviewed during an EWTN broadcast where he called himself an abortion “purist”
and said that he wanted “not a single abortion happening in this country.”

Roberts reconnected with Leo’s network in 2023 when he spoke during⭐️ “A Duty to God and Country,” ⭐️
an event organized by the 💥Catholic Information Center 💥(CIC) and Napa Institute.

As noted, Leo sits on CIC’s board of directors. 

Meanwhile, Project 2025 (Heritage) Director #Paul #Dans belongs to the New York chapter of the 💥Federalist Society, 💥which is co-chaired by Leo at the national level,
while #Steve #Bannon, Project 2025’s unofficial media partner, has served with Leo on the board of directors of 💥Reclaim New York 💥(founded by #Rebekah #Mercer). 

Bannon, you may recall, has closely aligned himself with proponents of the so-called “rad trad” (radical traditional) Catholicism movement
and specifically said that he wants to destroy the administrative state,
an express goal of Project 2025.

As observed by Media Matters, Bannon has repeatedly used his War Room perch to normalize Project 2025’s radical agenda.

Robert F Kennedy Jr’s campaign bankrolled by Republican mega-donor

A Super Pac affiliated with #Robert F #Kennedy #Jr, the anti-vaccine #conspiracy #theorist running for president as a Democrat, owes half its cash to a longtime Republican #mega-#donor and Trump backer, according to campaign finance reports filed on Monday.

The group, American Values 2024, reported receiving $5m from #Timothy #Mellon, a wealthy businessman from Wyoming, according to NBC News and Politico. It registered with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) in April, days before Kennedy officially launched his campaign, according to FEC records.

Mellon, 81, is the grandson of Andrew Mellon, a former US treasury secretary who made his fortune in banking. The Texas Tribune reported that Mellon, a top donor to Donald Trump’s 2020 re-election effort, supported controversial immigration laws and was 🔸responsible for 98% of the contributions to the Texas governor Greg Abbott’s fund to build a border wall🔸.

Mellon, who twice gave $10m to the Trump-aligned America First Action Super Pac in 2020, also used 🔹racist stereotypes 🔹to describe Black people in an autobiography he self-published in 2015.
