Today, I led House passage of a historic immigration bill that safeguards the constitutional rights of our residents in the face of growing concerns about ICE enforcement practices and respect for the rule of law. Here’s my opening:

[John Craven @johncraven1]

NEW: CT House Speaker @MattRitterCT says they have a state budget deal sending $270 million extra to prop-up local schools-- and prevent property taxes

$100m earmarked for struggling districts like Bridgeport and Hartford. It comes from the Pequot Fund

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth. #ApostolicJourney #Cameroon https://t.co/bKteFZ3iWE

[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

[U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops @USCCB]

U.S. Bishops’ Chairman on Doctrine Issues Clarification on Just War Theory
“When Pope Leo XIV speaks as supreme pastor of the universal Church, he is not merely offering opinions on theology, he is preaching the Gospel and exercising his ministry as the Vicar of Christ.”

[CT Judicial Branch @CTStateCourts]

The Judicial Branch recently learned of a targeted phishing and impersonation campaign directed at members of the public in which individuals are falsely claiming to represent the Connecticut Judicial Branch, including the Superior Court. See notice here: https://t.co/JnMdcnC2Vb

[James Martin, SJ @JamesMartinSJ]

I doubt Pope Leo XIV will lose any sleep over this, before he begins his pilgrimage to Africa tomorrow. But the rest of us should. Because it is unhinged, uncharitable and unchristian. Is there no bottom to this moral squalor?

NY’s Archbishop Hicks: “Just as Irish immigrants once came to this country seeking hope and opportunity, today many immigrants come to our nation…we are called to see them not as strangers, but as brothers and sisters.” https://t.co/ZbCMggue5X

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

The Sacrament of Reconciliation restores our unity with God through the forgiveness of sins and the infusion of sanctifying grace. This generates the inner unity of the person and unity with the Church. It fosters peace and unity within the human family. One might ask: do those Christians who bear serious responsibility in armed conflicts have the humility and courage to make a serious examination of conscience and to go to confession?

@BlakeDuDonis Unreal success! Congrats. Go Stags 🦌

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Faced with the possibility of a tragedy of immense proportions, I make a heartfelt appeal to all the parties involved to assume the moral responsibility of halting the spiral of violence before it becomes an unbridgeable chasm. May diplomacy regain its proper role, and may the well-being of peoples, who yearn for peaceful existence founded on justice, be upheld. And let us continue to pray for peace.

Remember that I predicted a long time ago that President Obama will attack Iran because of his inability to negotiate properly-not skilled!
