Listen to the clip and hear the police officers explain they agree with the people, but they are just doing what they are asked.

NOBODY AGREES WITH DONALD TRUMP ON ANYTHING!

[Rep. James Walkinshaw @Rep_Walkinshaw]

Trump called the Epstein files a hoax.

Behind closed doors, his White House was in full panic mode, holding Situation Room meetings over what could come out and how to contain the damage.

JD Vance was in the room.

Bring in Blanche. Bring in Vance.

Under oath. On camera.

Republicans knew the War Powers Resolution to rein in Trump’s Iran War was about to pass—so they pulled the bill off the floor.

When they can’t win, they hide. Vote them out.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Absurd and inhuman violence is spreading ferociously through the sacred places of the Christian East, profaned by the blasphemy of war and the brutality of business, with no regard for people’s lives, which are considered at most collateral damage of self-interest. But no gain can be worth the life of the weakest, children, or families. No cause can justify the shedding of innocent blood.

Today, Trump signed an executive order to create a national voter list under his control, restrict access to mail voting, and make it harder for Americans to vote ahead of the midterms. We will fight this in Congress and the courts to protect the right to vote for all.

Donald Trump did this:

BREAKING: HALLELUJAH! A federal judge rules that the Trump administration MUST allow clergy members into an ICE facility in Broadview for Holy Week and Easter — destroying the MAGA effort to cut migrants off from their religion.

This is another massive victory for Pope Leo XIV who has been calling for this access...

“The religious interests far outweigh any interest the government has articulated,” said U.S. District Judge Robert Gettleman.

The government has been restricting access to the migrants for clergy despite them historically having more consistent access to the facility. It's clear that the administration is hoping to demoralize these migrants by cutting them off from their faith, a deeply cruel thing for a so-called Christian president to support.

Additionally, Judge Gettleman ruled that people must be allowed to pray outside the facility while on federal property. The decision comes after an alliance of faith leaders filed a lawsuit back in November asking the judge to ensure that clergy were given access.

"We're going to be asked, you know, how did you receive the foreigner?" Pope Leo said back in November after agents refused to allow faith leaders into the Broadview facility to distribute holy communion. "Did you receive him and welcome him or not? And I think that there's a deep reflection that needs to be made in terms of what's happening. Many people who've lived for years and years and years, never causing problems, have been deeply affected by what's going on right now."

“I would certainly invite the authorities to allow pastoral workers to attend to the needs of those people,” he added. “Many times they’ve been separated from their families for a good amount of time; no one knows what’s happening, but their own spiritual needs should be attended to.”

The lawsuit from the faith leaders argued that the restrictions on clergy visiting were a clear violation of the right to practice one's religion.

“The plaintiffs are kind of at a loss as to why the government is taking such a hard line,” said Thomas Geoghegan, an attorney representing the faith leaders.

“The Pope himself urged the government to allow … clergy in this case to minister to detainees at Broadview,” he added.

We commend the judge for making the right decision. Migrants deserve to practice their faith just like anyone else in this country!

Please ❤️ and share to thank the judge!

NEWS: Judge Amit Mehta rules Trump is NOT immune for key Jan. 6 conduct—including his Ellipse rally speech, outreach to officials, and related actions—finding they can be treated as campaign activity, not presidential duties.

That means civil lawsuits can move forward. The court also rejected Trump’s First Amendment defense and blocked a DOJ effort that could have shielded him from liability.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

We turn our gaze to Jesus, who reveals himself as King of Peace, even as war looms abounds him. He remains steadfast in meekness, while others are stirring up violence. He offers himself to embrace humanity, even as others raise swords and clubs. #GospelOfToday

[Courtney Mares @catholicourtney]

Strong words from Pope Leo on Palm Sunday in which he repeated that Jesus is the “King of Peace” 7 times in his homily.

“Christ, King of Peace, cries out again from his cross: God is love! Have mercy! Lay down your weapons! Remember that you are brothers and sisters,” the pope said.

JUST IN: Catholic Pope Leo XIV says God rejects prayers of leaders who start wars.

[Catholic Sat @CatholicSat]

Pope Leo XIV on Palm Sunday, forcefully denounces those who use God to justify war: “Brothers and sisters, this is our God, Jesus, King of Peace, who rejects war, whom no one can use to justify war. He does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war, but rejects them saying “Though you make many prayers, I will not listen. Your hands are full of blood.”

[Rep. Melanie Stansbury @Rep_Stansbury]

We stand with the distinguished officers being targeted by Trump. Time and time again he and his Admin have shown us exactly who they are—attacking and undermining Black women in the military, public servants, and women in power. It is clear they are trying to erase Black leadership and history. This not only undermines our military, but our national security. So we want to be clear—we are not going back!

BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV triumphs over Donald Trump as the Catholic Church sees a MASSIVE surge in converts as his anti-MAGA message spreads like wildfire around the world.

It turns out that love and compassion are popular...

According to a new report in The New York Times, people are joining the Church in "surprising numbers." They discovered that the Archdiocese of Detroit will welcome 1,428 new Catholics this Easter Vigil — the annual night before Easter on which coverts enter the church — marking its highest numbers in 21 years.

The Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston will see its highest number in 15 years while the Diocese of Des Moines is experiencing a 51% jump from last year, an increase from 265 people to 400.

“Of course we think the Holy Spirit is [behind this]. But we are kind of stymied," said Cardinal Robert McElroy of Washington. His diocese will receive 1,755 new converts, up from 1,566 last year which had been a 15-year record.

“‘What is your number? What is your number?’” McElroy said a group of bishops were asking each other at a recent conference.

The Times checked conversion data at two dozen dioceses including massive ones like Los Angeles and Phoenix as well as substantially smaller ones like Allentown, Pennsylvania. In each location, they discovered a "significant jump."

“In our age of uncertainty, and in our age of great anxiety, is a thirst and hunger for God and stability that faith brings to people’s lives,” said Archbishop Mitchell Thomas Rozanski of St. Louis. His diocese is seeing record high numbers since 2016.

“I think technology has isolated us from one other. I think that Covid just really magnified that isolation,” he added. “We are realizing many of the ills of our society, particularly anxiety and depression, come about from that isolation.”

But you cannot rule out the role of the papacy in this trend. And while it certainly helps that Leo is the first American pope, more importantly his message of kindness towards migrants and opposition to war has gone out to a world in desperate need of hope. He has labeled Trump's Iran War a “scandal to the whole human family” and called for a total ban on aerial bombardments.

That opposition to the relentless cruelty of the Republican Party under its current cult leader has led to a massive backlash against Leo from the MAGA base, who now regularly smear him as a "communist" and "demonic." Yet he is undeterred in his message.

At a time when the so-called "Christians" that make up Trump's Evangelical base are salivating for death — and even calling for a reinstatement of biblical slavery in some cases — Leo is echoing the simple, true message of Christ: Love thy neighbor.

Please ❤️ and share if you're a fan of Pope Leo!

.@JamesTalarico: The kind of religion that says you can treat people however you want as long as you have a personal relationship with Jesus is an abomination.

Scripture says you can't love God and hate other people.

You can't love God and abuse the immigrant.
You can't love God and bully the outcast.
You can't love God and oppress the poor.

We spend so much time looking for God out there, that we miss God in the person sitting right next to us.
