@RepDonBacon Thank you for seeing this through.

[John C. Knapp @PresKnapp]

@RepDonBacon Thank you.

@RepDonBacon @WalshFreedom This vote is long overdue. Thanks!

@Mike_Pence And for four years you participated in the destruction of the party of Reagan. You forfeited the moral authority to opine on what conservatives believe.

[John C. Knapp @PresKnapp]

@RepDonBacon @MarilynMackey Of course, general, but sadly that party no longer exists.

[Gianl1974 @Gianl1974]

I really miss this kind of America.

Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford ran against each other in 1976.

When Ford passed away, Carter gave the eulogy at his funeral.

When Carter passed away, Ford’s son Steve spoke at Carter’s funeral.

Barack Obama and John McCain ran against each other in 2008.

When McCain passed away, Obama gave the eulogy at his funeral.

They disagreed. They debated. They fought hard for what they believed in.

But at the end of the day, they still saw each other as human beings. As Americans.

That is the part we have lost.

Somewhere along the way, disagreement turned into hatred. Politics turned into teams. And people forgot that respect does not mean you agree with someone on everything.

I still believe we can get back to this.

Not because it will be easy. Not because everyone will suddenly think the same.

But because America is supposed to be better than this.

Bipartisan respect used to be possible.

And someday, I pray we remember how to do it again. 🇺🇸💙

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas

@StateDept Just send Ukraine the military aid that was promised.

[John C. Knapp @PresKnapp]

@Gerashchenko_en Without social media, no one here would have heard anything about it.

@McFaul His corrupt administration followed Mandela and set South Africa on a different course from which it continues to suffer.

Pope Leo quotes Gandalf in encyclical debut:

“It is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succour of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till.”

@davidgilmour @pinkfloyd An extraordinary talent and so much a part of the soundtrack of our youth. Very sorry for your personal loss.

@aHeartSoFull Longer than I expected. Seemingly unafraid of me!

[John C. Knapp @PresKnapp]

@kiraincongress So well said, as always!

@MandyLSimard My daddy taught us never to brag: “Don’t toot your own horn. If it’s deserved, someone else will toot it for you.”
