She/her. I tweet about religion+politics.

Since Pope Leo uses em dashes in Magnifica Humanitas, that means we get to have them back from AI.

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

Well that’s one of the most compelling answers to that question I’ve ever heard.

The pope is *famously* a baseball fan.

Marco Rubio: 'What to get someone who has everything? I thought a crystal football'

Pope: 'ok'

[Nick Penniman @Nick_Penniman]

Seriously, when does Congress begin assessing the sanity of the President? This “Trump just being Trump” permission slip isn’t enough anymore. If he were the CEO of even a medium sized corporation the board would have removed him a long time ago.

The goal of Christian nationalism is to replace democracy with a deeply flawed theocracy.

[Ashley Hildebrand @APdubs]

Now feels like a great time to share that @MelissaRyan asked me to write about the Pope and the Trump/Vance White House for Ctrl-Alt-Right-Delete and the piece was published today.

As an Italian I can confidently say this is our most important contribution to global culture tho

Wishing a meaningful First Monday in October pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2 for all who observe.

Voters in Kansas, Ohio, and Missouri all overwhelmingly supported abortion on ballot initiatives since Roe v. Wade was overturned in June 2022.

[David French @DavidAFrench]

Ezra's completely right. The Democratic Party never should have closed its doors to pro-life voices, and it will never win if it doesn't run candidates who actually have a chance to compete in red states.

You can't count on Roy Moore-style meltdowns to win Senate seats.

@kelsey_dallas I was SO READY to answer this… and then I saw sports 🙃😂

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

I am deeply saddened to learn of the loss of life and injury caused by the military attack on the Holy Family Catholic Church in #Gaza. I assure the parish community of my spiritual closeness. I commend the souls of the deceased to the loving mercy of Almighty God, and pray for their families and the injured. I renew my call for an immediate ceasefire. Only dialogue and reconciliation can ensure enduring peace!

[Ian Krager @IanKrager]

For The Children.

[Ashley Hildebrand @APdubs]

I genuinely hate the antics and optics of budget reconciliation.

[James Line @jameslineky]

you’ll never guess what he did next

[Ashley Hildebrand @APdubs]

Why is it so rare for Senator Collins & Senator Murkowski to be right at the *same time*?!

Asking for millions of Americans.

[Tony Annett @tonyannett]

Whoever formed Vance in the Catholic faith did a lousy job. Truly.

[Ashley Hildebrand @APdubs]

@Catholic4Choice We chose to launch today because it’s the anniversary of Dobbs, and well, there isn’t really a better example of how anti-choice Catholics have meddled in our politics.

I've spent the past 6+ months at @Catholic4Choice dreaming up how to help folks better understand the influence of Catholic-branded Christian nationalism on politics

Today, it went live.
