Another fun one to film! Huge thanks to @EuphenieAndre, @philfortaleza and the talented production team at @ABC17News for making it happen!

Pope Leo told Spain's Catholic bishops they must listen to survivors of sexual abuse by clergy and offer them reparations, in the first direct reference during his trip to scandals that have shaken the local Church's credibility https://t.co/lrGNsLupCF

Commercial 2 with Sticklen & Sticklen is now LIVE.

Still silly. Still serious results. 🎬

Sen. Warnock to RFK: "I think you're dangerous to the American public and you ought to be fired. And if you're not fired, you ought to have the decency to resign. You're way in over your head."

Sen. @MichaelBennet: Would you agree last year was the worst year on record of flu deaths in modern history?

RFK Jr: Yes

Bennet: Do you agree that 89% of the children who died from flu were unvaccinated?

RFK Jr: I don't know the exact number

Bennet: That is the exact number

Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia—

AOC: Wah wah wah.

We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no. Republicans have fought for partisan gerrymanders across the United States of America. And these are the rules that they have set.

And so if the Republican Party wanted to start this, they did this in North Carolina. They drew out three Democratic members of Congress in North Carolina. They did it in Texas.

What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over, doesn’t fight, and takes everything sitting down. And what they’re mad at right now is that we are here in a new day. And we have been asking the Democratic Party to stand up and fight, and now they did—and now the Republican Party doesn’t like the fact that they are fighting against someone who actually will stand up for the American people.

So if Republicans decide that they would like to revisit a ban on partisan gerrymandering, I welcome them. We have the bill right here to end this all today. But they don’t want to, because they like pursuing and continuing to enact an unfair electoral landscape. And so we have an obligation to defend ourselves.

Long term follow up of a phase 1
trial of an mRNA tumor vaccine shows that 7/8 patients with pancreatic cancer, who mounted an immune response to the vaccine, are still alive 6 years later. This is breathtaking data and shows the promise of mRNA vaccines. https://t.co/J1kDmMRZQY

This is going to be one of the greatest health stories of the decade. For decades, every winter, we would admit many babies struggling to breathe from RSV, and now its gotten much rarer. Infected kids go on to have a higher rate of asthma. And a vaccine is eliminating all of that.

Donald Trump claims he “saved historically Black colleges.”

According to college administrators, HBCU presidents and the actual data, Trump is overseeing the worst attack on these institutions in American history. https://t.co/HClXWmXk4v

@justalexoki If you feel that pull towards the Catholic Church, it's most likely coming from God. How else would God call you? Given that, why not see where it leads? Plus: the apostolic succession, the sacraments and the saints. Also, have you heard about our new pope?

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

#Peace is not something we must invent: it is something we must embrace by accepting our neighbor as a brother or sister. We do not choose our brothers and sisters: we must simply accept one another! We are one family, inhabiting the same home: this wonderful planet that ancient cultures have cared for over millennia. #ApostolicJourney #Cameroon

[Mike Nellis @MikeNellis]

If you’re leaving the Catholic Church because Pope Leo is calling for peace, then you probably weren’t much of a Catholic to begin with.

Looking at you, Sean Hannity.

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

You should be able to easily file your taxes for free with the IRS.

Not only did Trump kill Direct File, the IRS's free tax filing program, but this week, Republicans BLOCKED my bill that would make the program law of the land.

That's what you call selling out to TurboTax.

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

To state the obvious (but being forgotten by many), we didn’t need to go to war to open the Strait of Hormuz. It was already open. To claim this outcome as a war achievement is paradoxical.

[Bill Madden @maddenifico]

Trump spent years in a jealous rage, relentlessly slamming Barack Obama for unfreezing $1.7 billion of Iran's own money to Iran, calling it pathetic ransom money and proof of a disastrous, weak-kneed surrender. Driven by petty obsession, Trump spitefully ripped up the Iran nuclear deal in 2018, shredding every restraint on Tehran, and smugly promised the world a "better deal."

Instead, his childish vendetta supercharged Iran's nuclear program, pushing it dangerously close to the bomb. Now, in a breathtaking display of hypocrisy and failure, Trump is negotiating to hand Iran access to $20 billion in frozen funds — more than ten times what he once condemned — in exchange for the regime surrendering its near-weapons-grade uranium stockpile.

This is Trump at his most embarrassingly stupid: destroying a deal that had capped Iran's enrichment and kept it under watch, only to crawl back offering vastly more cash after his own incompetence made the threat far worse.

The man who mocked Obama for "giving" Iran money is now dangling a fortune in frozen assets while pretending it's a brilliant victory. It's not leadership — it's ego-driven incompetence and rank hypocrisy, a petty grudge that backfired spectacularly and left America facing a more expensive, more dangerous mess. Trump's jealous tantrum didn't make America safer; it just made the cleanup bill ten times bigger.

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

Violation of religious liberty. All Christians should be fearful of this administration and the lengths they'll go to silence dissenters.

[James Martin, SJ @JamesMartinSJ]

Dear friends: I don’t know any Catholic in the United States, from the most traditional to the most progressive, who does not have strong feelings about the comments from President Trump and Vice President Vance about Pope Leo XIV. These include not only President Trump’s initial disrespectful Truth Social post about the Holy Father, but also Vice President Vance’s similarly disrespectful comments about Pope Leo having to be “careful” when he speaks about theology.

Let me share some of my own feelings. First of all, it is shocking that a President and Vice President would treat such a good, holy and learned man with such disdain. Imagine telling a man with the Holy Father’s learning and experience (and authority) that he doesn’t understand theology sufficiently. What’s more, imagine attacking him as, ridiculously, “weak on crime” or somehow not understanding foreign policy.

Second, I’m edified by Pope Leo’s charitable and courageous response to all this. Charitable because he has not responded in any way other than with charity and respect. As some of you may know, I know the Holy Father slightly, thanks to our being seated together at the Synod for two weeks, and know him to be a kind, reserved, discerning and highly intelligent person. In a word, holy.

But courageous too: as we have seen during his time in Algeria and Cameroon, Pope Leo has not shied away from continuing to preach the Gospel, and speaking out in favor of peace (and yes, he understands St. Augustine’s concept of the “just war”) and against, as he said today, tyrants and those who would use God’s name to support violence of bloodshed.

So, where will this all end? It’s hard to say. But I would imagine that now that the taboo has been broken, politicians will continue to denigrate him and thus try to persuade people, without saying it explicitly, to think that the Pope’s words do not need to be listened to.

But this will be in vain for two reasons. First, Pope Leo is clearly fearless. A few hours after he was elected as pope, I spoke with a fellow Augustinian priest who had known “Bob” for decades. “He’s a great listener, very kind and much loved.” Then he paused. “But he’s no pushover.” But the main reason that the Pope’s words will be heard is less about Robert Prevost’s own many virtues but something else: the Vicar of Christ will be heard because he is preaching the Gospel. As Jesus told his disciples, “Heaven and earth may pass away, but my words will never pass away.” So, in these strange times, fear not.

[Archbishop Sample @ArchbishpSample]

In recent weeks, during the holiest season of the Christian calendar, I have been deeply concerned by the rhetoric of President Trump. His remarks during Holy Week and Easter fall short of the standard one would expect from both his office and his professed Christian faith. 

His threat to eradicate an entire civilization goes beyond what can be considered just or morally acceptable in war. 

Likewise, his criticism of Pope Leo, whom he has disparaged as “weak” and “very liberal,” is misguided. The Holy Father’s call for peace, dialogue, and conversion of heart in the face of war arises not from partisanship or political bias, but from his Christian identity and mission as Supreme Pastor of Christ’s Church on earth. 

The Church’s mission is to preach the Good News of her divine founder, Jesus Christ, proclaiming peace, truth, and the dignity of every human person. 

“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.” (Matthew 5:9)

[Ed Krassenstein @EdKrassen]

BREAKING: Catholic U.S. Congressman @tedlieu just released a torching statement about Trump and Vance mocking Jesus, and demands an appology:

“Stop doing stupid stuff like attacking the Pope… It’s very clear when you look at the Bible, that you don’t have false idols, and you don’t mock God... Donald Trump posted an image of himself as Jesus. He should not be making a false idol of himself. No one should be worshipping Donald Trump. He needs to apologize for that deeply offensive post… JD Vance says ‘that was a joke.' Well this is what the Bible says about that… ‘do not be deceived. God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.’ So Donald Trump is going to reap what he sows.”
