Robert Francis Prevost will be the next pope and has taken the name Leo XIV. An American Pope. I hope he promotes unconditional love and service, especially towards the poor and marginalized. Let's pray.

The first American Pope, Leo XIV, has just been elected. Prevost, from Chicago, is deemed to be in the mold of Pope Francis—a progressive. Yes, this is real.

“The pope will be from Chicago” sounds like an 1880s Republican’s dire prediction for if we don’t stop Irish immigration

I haven’t been Catholic for a very long time and try to stay out of the church’s internal politics but my rule of thumb is that if fanatical converts like Vermeule, Vance, or Ahmari are upset it’s a good sign.

Thank you, Senator Schiff, for standing up for integrity by fighting to block the nomination of Ed Martin. Sen Schiff’s leadership is a reminder that we must remain vigilant and demand our government be led by individuals who represent the best of us, not those who threaten our democratic values.

White smoke. The new Pope is 69-year-old Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost from the U.S.—the first American to ever lead the Catholic Church. He takes the name Leo XIV. Over 20,000 gathered at St. Peter’s Square to welcome the 267th Pontiff.

Pope Leo XIV appeared from the loggia of St. Peter’s Basilica Thursday as the 267th leader of the world’s 1.4 billion Catholics. Before the cardinals of the Catholic Church elected him as the first American-born pontiff in history, he was known as Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost.

Occupy Democrats. BREAKING: MAGA world melts down as the Catholic Church elects American Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost to become Pope Leo XIV — a man who has slammed Donald Trump and J.D. Vance in the past. Thumbs Up, Francis.

Robert Francis Prevost, Pope Leo XIV, is not the first US Pope, he's the first Peruvian Pope. Career in Peru, lifetime in Peru, loyalty to Peru, bishop to Peru, and citizenship to Peru. He had the misfortune of being born in the US but made his nationality and pathway elsewhere.

Trump is arresting judges, extorting law firms, and weaponizing the DOJ to target anyone he views as a political enemy. America, we can't be intimidated. This is still a democracy and your voice matters. Keep speaking out any way you can.

Skagit Valley's Tulip Festival isn't just beautiful, it's also a huge economic driver for the region—& this year's festival is already being hit by Trump's nonsense trade war with Canada. I stopped by & heard from growers about how Trump’s trade chaos is hurting their business.

Trump is terminating grants for a program that helps advocate for children who have been the victims of abuse and neglect. Is that the Republican Party's platform now? Abandon child victims of crime to make room to cut taxes for billionaires?

Trump’s chaotic tariffs are a five-alarm fire for small businesses. How can you plan for the future if one tweet from Trump could cause your prices to skyrocket? This is a DISASTER for businesses, consumers, and our trade relationships around the world.

We're 100 days into the most corrupt administration in U.S. History. All we have to show for it is a chaotic trade war, billions in frozen funding, & a promise of giant tax cuts for billionaires—but no matter what day we're on, I'm fighting back with everything I've got.
