NEW: On a whirlwind first day in Paris, Pope Leo XIV delivered what may become a magna carta of his pontificate, a half-hour address at UNESCO given mostly in English, so the world would hear him call war “the most terrible of ‘human works.’”
“Others are then excluded in the name of profit, and the innocent are killed in the name of freedom,” he told the delegates.
“Instead of respecting the law, those in power invoke it when it serves their interests and disregard it when it restrains them.”
Hours earlier, in French, he had told Emmanuel Macron and the diplomatic corps that “the protection of the right to life constitutes the indispensable foundation of every other human right.”
On the flight over he had welcomed the CNN reporters Trump tried to bar from the White House: “Here you are all welcome.” https://t.co/Qr5CTjsgG8
.@ErinBurnett shares what Iran’s president revealed to her and other journalists in New York about the war and his interactions with the Supreme Leader, who has not been seen by the public in 7 months: “He said he’d had two meetings with the supreme leader... he said the most recent one was about a month ago."
I asked Pope Leo about the Trump CNN White House ban on board the papal plane from Rome to Paris.
The pope said he was: “very happy that here you are all welcome and good coverage, I think, is very important and that we have it all the way around, for everyone”

Pope Leo’s longtime friend, Father Joe Farrell tells @ErinBurnett the pope is still following baseball season closely from the Vatican. He says growing up in a family divided between the White Sox and the Cubs taught the pope how to "live in peace” when you disagree with someone.
A former researcher at OpenAI tells @ErinBurnett he sees a 70% chance of globally catastrophic outcomes from AI: “If the AIs and robots don't actually care about humans and go rogue, then there's numerous ways that that could end very poorly for us.”
This is consistent with Trump’s truth social posts. In this case, it’s also important to consider that people who work for the President of the United States are rewarded for such posts.
Could not be more excited to get an early copy of LONDON STATION from one of my fave spy novelists, @mccloskeybooks. Artemis Procter is back. Thanks, David! Hits shelves 9/29. Run & get it.
I remember the first time I met @alexwitt on her show back when MS was in Secaucus. She was welcoming, supportive, so POSITIVE. The kind of person who brings others up. That is how she’s handled herself her entire career. Congratulations Alex! https://t.co/Q9FtnblZWd
As a third-generation Army veteran, it has been the honor of a lifetime to serve as the Secretary of the Army under President Trump and Secretary Hegseth. Tomorrow is my last full day in the role.
Our Soldiers, Civilians, and their Families are our Nation's very best, and they have inspired me every day. I am sincerely thankful for their service and sacrifice.
I had the privilege of working with them to modernize and accelerate how the Army mans, trains, and equips the most lethal fighting force on the face of the earth. We could not have made the progress we did without the support of Secretary Hegseth.
I am forever grateful to President Trump for the opportunity to once again serve my country.
Dan Driscoll
26th Secretary of the Army

The name Lake Ontario comes from the Wendat word Ontari’io, which, appropriately, means “the lake is beautiful, the lake is big”.
The name is more than 400 years old, predating both the Confederation of Canada and the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America.
We know that America is changing. Their trading relationships, their foreign policies, their national monuments, their hydronyms.
Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario – then, now and always.
Sgt Hedar Turcios is American. ICE stopped him, his wife & 6yo daughter; deported his wife. "We did everything the right way. And we're still being treated like criminals". And yet he loves this country: “I love what I do. I want to keep doing it".
