NEW: Mahmoud Khalil's wife gave birth to their child without him after ICE denied their request to let him be present. “This was a purposeful decision by ICE to make me, Mahmoud, and our son suffer,” Dr. Abdalla said. “My son and I should not be navigating his first days on earth without Mahmoud."

In Pope Francis’s last public address, he preached care of the marginalized, the vulnerable, and migrants, saying: “I would like all of us to hope anew and to revive our trust in others, including those who are different than ourselves.” May we heed his wish.

Tammy and I are heartbroken by the passing of His Holiness Pope Francis. We are sending our prayers to everyone who, like us, found deep solace and hope in Pope Francis’s words and the example he set.

Florida Republican Rep. Byron Donalds — who is running for governor — was loudly booed at a town hall event in Estero, Florida, while answering a question about Elon Musk and DOGE’s cuts to the Social Security Administration. "Don't boo," Donalds pleaded in vain with the jeering crowd.

This is complete bullshit. Why would you pack $3000 in cash for any of that. Who was she with? Where was her Secret Service detail?

Pope Francis dedicated his papacy to creating a more inclusive, loving, and equitable Catholic Church. My heart is with all of those who found faith, community, and hope under his leadership. He was a pillar of progress for the Catholic community and the world. May he rest in peace.

Pope Francis says in his will that he wants to be laid to rest at the Papal Basilica of St. Mary Major in Rome, where six other popes are buried, in a simple, undecorated tomb with only the inscription “Franciscus,” according to the Vatican, which released the document on Monday.

The difference between Christianity and Christian Nationalism is a Pope who advocated for our most marginalized and a woman who considers him evil for doing so.

What we’ve launched today is the first step for how we’re going to evolve verification. The initial set of trusted verifiers includes news orgs who’ve agreed to take on the task of verification for their journalists. In the future, this set will expand, as well as how apps can choose to use them.

Serious question. Kristi Noem was pictured with a Rolex in El Salvador, and got 3k in cash stolen. She has been on a govt salary for years. Something aint right

🧐🧐

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago: —Pioneering cancer researcher; —*Arrested* at airport in Boston; —Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana; —"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research. Read it. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Made this out of grocery store flowers.

"Kennedy’s disgust with and devaluation of autistic people fits neatly into a eugenic logic that views health as virtue, and sees illness, or difference, as a kind of moral lapse which should be subject to punishment or censure."

Pete Hegseth is clearly ill-equipped to handle the role of Secretary of Defense. His repeated failure to follow basic operational security procedures jeopardizes the safety and security of our armed forces. He should resign.

Bad for school kids, bad for farmers, and sure as hell won’t “make America healthy again.”

We’re introducing a new layer of verification on Bluesky — a user-friendly, easily recognizable blue check. In addition to account verification issued by Bluesky, we're also introducing Trusted Verifiers. Select independent organizations can verify accounts directly.

Every citizen in the USA should be obliged to read or watch The Handmaid's Tale. Now. Oh. Damn it. It's already banned in parts of the USA. When a book becomes alive. Too quick. It seems it's already too late for a rising. But I do hope I am wrong. #TheHandMaidsTale #USA #Facism

@jasmineforus.bsky.social: Abrego Garcia "a lot less criminal than the person that's sitting in the White House because last time I checked, he didn't have any criminal convictions."

Lori and I join the Catholic community in Pennsylvania and around the world in mourning the passing of Pope Francis.

Pope Francis, October 2016: “It's hypocrisy to call yourself a Christian and chase away a refugee or someone seeking help, someone who is hungry or thirsty, toss out someone who is in need of my help… …If I say I am Christian, but do these things, I'm a hypocrite." RIP.

Pappas: People are going to have to wait longer to apply for benefits or even get a question answered because they moved to fire half the staff at the Social Security Administration.

Today, the world mourns the passing of Pope Francis. He inspired millions, far beyond the Catholic Church, with his humility and love so pure for the less fortunate. My thoughts are with all who feel this profound loss.

The value of the dollar has hit a 3 year low. So. Much. Winning. 🤦‍♀️

So are we still more upset about Diverse, but qualified, yet presumed unqualified hires, than DUI hires? (Asking for anyone who cares about US National Security) Pete Hegseth needs to go for the safety of the United States & the allies that we still have.

And here we go…👇 Some good news for a change! Enjoy. 😎✨

Pope Francis was a decent man in indecent times. His voice, at this delicate moment, seems hard to replace. Today's Morning Shots from @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social, @eggerdc.bsky.social, and @cheetah.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/a-pope-who...
