The GUARD Act empowers local communities with funding, training, and tools to fight fraud and get justice for victims.

Thank you, @GovRonDeSantis, for helping keep FL utility costs in check. At a time when every dollar counts, this law helps protect Floridians’ pocketbooks by preventing data centers from shifting costs to ratepayers.

Villanova University President, Rev. Peter M. Donohue, took a chance in May 2025 when he sent an email to Pope Leo XIV asking if he’d be free to speak at next year’s commencement exercises.
“Very funny,” Pope Leo XIV responded. “I don’t think I’m going to be able to do that.”🎓🤭

Pope Leo at Regina Coeli: “‘Thieves’ can take many forms. They could be: people who, regardless of appearances, suppress our freedom or fail to respect our dignity; beliefs and biases that prevent us from viewing others and life with serenity; mistaken ideas that can lead us to make negative choices; or superficial and consumeristic lifestyles that leave us empty on the inside and push us to live constantly beyond ourselves.” https://t.co/NqCmOEIrSJ

Older Americans are expected to navigate the complexities of retirement with little to no real help. Not to mention, they’re likely making these important decisions during major life transitions, as Ms. Roszkowski with @AARP pointed out.

Chairman @SenRickScott is aiming to help these seniors and offer the support they need to make SMART financial decisions for a secure retirement.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

The care of the weakest is a very important sign of the quality of the social life of a nation. Let us remember that the elderly are in need of assistance, but first and foremost need to be listened to, because they preserve the wisdom of a people. We owe them gratitude, because they have faced great difficulties for the good of the community. #ApostolicJourney #Angola

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Faith does not separate the spiritual from the social. It gives Christians the strength to interact with the world and to respond to the needs of others, especially the weakest. What is needed for the salvation of a community is a communal commitment, which integrates the spiritual and moral dimensions of the Gospel in the heart of local institutions and structures, making them instruments for the common good, not places of conflict, self-interest, or sterile struggles. #ApostolicJourney #Cameroon

We are all our brother's and sister's keeper. In God’s great family, no one is ever a stranger or forgotten, no matter how little they may be. #ApostolicJourney #Cameroon

[AARP Advocates @AARPadvocates]

Today, hundreds of AARP volunteers and staff from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands are on Capitol Hill to tell lawmakers: protect Social Security, support family caregivers, and strengthen safeguards against fraud.

#AARPOnTheHill

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Let us reject the logic of violence and war, and embrace peace founded on love and justice—an unarmed peace, not based on fear, threats or weapons. This peace is disarming, because it is capable of resolving conflicts, opening hearts, and generating trust, empathy, and hope. I strongly reiterate: The world thirsts for #Peace! Enough of war and all the pain it causes through death, destruction, and exile! #ApostolicJourney #Cameroon

[AARP Florida @AARPFL]

AARP Florida had a productive meeting today with @SenAshleyMoody on Capitol Hill, where we discussed top issues affecting older Floridians. Thank you for showing your support to protect the 50+ community in the Sunshine State. #AARPOnTheHill @aarpAdvocates
