This is not OK. Whatever one may think about deploying the National Guard in this circumstance, that’s not what Hegseth is referencing. Lord, have mercy upon us.

@stevenrharmon.bsky.social: The event was not a press conference. Instead, it was an opportunity for the new pope to address the media, thank us for our coverage of the events, and share his thoughts about journalists’ roles and responsibilities. ow.ly/8MyC50VRKwL

I was in St. Peter’s Square today for Pope Leo XIV’s Regina Caeli address at noon from the central balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica. He spoke in Italian, and the press will later receive an English translation. But I did understand his shout-out to “Dallas, Texas”!

1/3 Yesterday I made a pilgrimage to the tomb of Pope Francis in the Basilica of St. Mary Maggiore. I thanked God for his life and ministry, and I prayed that I and all of us might receive more fully the way he exemplified and taught the way of Jesus.
