🚨SEE NO EVIL: Virginia House budget would halt campaign finance audits

"A budget provision released Friday by Democrats in the House of Delegates would send Virginia back to the days when the public had to accept on faith that candidates’ campaign finance disclosures were complete and accurate."

"A nine-word sentence – 'That § 24.2-948.5 of the Code of Virginia is repealed' – would strip the Virginia Department of Elections of its authority to audit campaign finance reports."

"The post-election audits, which the General Assembly approved in 2022, put candidates on notice for the first time that they may be called upon to provide bank records, invoices and other documentation to verify their fundraising and spending."

"The House budget language, if approved by the General Assembly, would halt the current Department of Elections review of campaign finance disclosures filed by candidates who ran last November." ...

"The law requires all candidates for governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general to turn over campaign financial records to the elections department." ...

“The best and most clarifying thing I’ve read about Magnifica Humanitas comes from Ed Feser, who isn’t trying to explain away anything Pope Leo wrote but rather putting it in context. He’s particularly helpful on just war.” Thank you @RameshPonnuru https://t.co/XH72PFqQPI

A light show honoring Antoni Gaudí has just lit up Sagrada Família.

It felt like the tallest church in the world, for a moment, let its impossible beauty be seen by its creator.

[La Sagrada Família @sagradafamilia]

We see the tower of Jesus Christ illuminated for the first time!
The light show, starting from the base up to the illumination of the cross, culminated with a composition of lights guided by drones that traced the figure of Gaudí and the phrase “first love, then technique”.

Pope Leo XIV just entrusted his ministry and the Church’s mission to Our Lady of Montserrat, noting his personal connection to the Marian devotion.

"I hold a fond memory of my years as parish priest of the Parish of Santa María de Montserrat in Trujillo, Peru,” he said.

“La Moreneta has always accompanied me.”

Just half an hour remains until Pope Leo arrives, and this is the incredible atmosphere. The Olympic Stadium of Barcelona is filling up to welcome the Holy Father at his first major large-scale event of the second stage of his trip to Spain: a great prayer vigil.

*Many Spaniards link their deep devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus with their love of country, and for that reason they display it on their national flags. Quite a happy coincidence to see so many Sacred Heart flags on the month of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

The best Catholic college in America offers only one major, no minors, no technology in the classroom, and they have made absolutely no changes to what they are doing even in the midst of the AI Revolution.

They simply immerse students in beauty - physical beauty, natural beauty, liturgical beauty, intellectual beauty, and relational beauty through deep friendship.

They consistently graduate the most clearheaded, lovely, thoughtful, and normie young people you have ever met. If colleges are going to survive they need to become more like Thomas Aquinas College in California. For those of you who have never seen it before this is what a serious undergraduate education looks like freshman and sophomore year.

[Rafael Domingo Osle @RafaelDomingoO1]

Como jurista, me quedo con una frase del discurso del @Pontifex_es en el @Congreso_Es que debería enmarcarse en cada parlamento: "Una ley no alcanza su verdadera grandeza por el mero hecho de haber sido formalmente aprobada; la alcanza cuando puede comparecer ante la dignidad de la persona y salir de ese examen sin avergonzarse".

[Paulina Guzik @Guzik_Paulina]

In what will certainly become one of the most fundamental speeches of his pontificate, Pope Leo XIV told the Spanish Parliament, before receiving a 7-minute standing ovation: "The defense of human life is neither a partisan issue nor a confessional interest: it is a goal of civilization."

"If life ceases to be recognized as a fundamental value, what future can our societies have?" he said, speaking to a gathering of politicians, many supporting abortion and euthanasia.

"Can a community that casts into the shadows the unborn child, the elderly, the sick, those who suffer in silence, or those who depend entirely on the care of others be called fully just?"

"Every human life must be recognized and safeguarded from conception to its natural end, in every circumstance of its existence. When this certainty is obscured, the most vulnerable are the first victims, and the law loses its deepest meaning: to serve and protect every person."

"For this reason, the moral greatness of a nation is manifested, above all, in its capacity to accompany, protect and love those lives that are most fragile," he said, repeating what John Paul II emphasized decades ago.

Starting his speech he commented that Church's is the "message offered in the spirit of service to the human person."

"When the Church addresses anything concerning public life, she does so while respecting the proper mission of institutions and the legitimate responsibility of those who have received the mandate to legislate," Pope Leo said, emphasizing "the Church offers a reflection born of the desire to serve the common good."

He hailed Spain as country that "has known how to view the human being as more than just a cog in the social, economic or political order. It has recognized the human being as a creature open to truth, endowed with freedom, and driven by a thirst for eternity that no temporal reality can quench -- in a word, as someone whose dignity takes precedence over all utility and to whose service legislative action is subject."

He said it was Catholic orders that "helped to shape a legal and moral consciousness capable of remembering that authority always entails responsibility and that every human being must be recognized as a subject of rights and duties."

"That aspiration continues to resonate today: that dignity, justice and the common good should be the measure of social relations, both at the national and international levels."

Referring multiple times to his "Magnifica Humanitas" encyclical, he said: "When the common good ceases to be a shared horizon, public action runs the risk of fragmenting into partial interests, incapable of safeguarding what belongs to all."

"In this context, the family — the primary human reality and the natural foundation of the community — takes on particular importance," Pope Leo said.

"The family will always be the first school of humanity, where one learns, before anywhere else, the basic grammar of living together: welcoming life, caring for others, forgiving, serving and belonging."

"Human life can never be treated as a commodity," the pope said.

"A law does not attain its true greatness merely by having been formally enacted; it attains it when, in addition to being valid in form, it can stand before the dignity of the person and pass that test without shame."

"I invite you, then, to lift your gaze to the world around you, not to turn away from reality, but to remember that every decision by public authorities affects real people, especially those who have less power to make their voices heard."

"The expanse of one’s vision consists precisely in looking more deeply at what is at stake in every public decision. This is why, alongside technical solutions and legal reforms, a moral renewal is also needed."

🚨 stop scrolling.. do you understand what this fake degree ring actually means to your life..

because most people only think about visa fraud as a paperwork problem..

those 100,000 seized certificates weren't for desk jobs.. they were for medicine.. nursing.. engineering.. IT.. fields where a fake credential doesn't just steal a job.. it puts someone in a hospital treating your family..

and here's the part nobody's connecting..

100,000 seized is 10% of the estimated total.. 900,000 fake degrees are still out there.. attached to real people.. working real jobs.. inside real companies and real hospitals that verified nothing..

a former US consular officer who processed 51,000 H-1B applications in Chennai said 80 to 90% of the applicants she saw used fraudulent documentation..

a 2008 USCIS audit found more than 13% of already-approved H-1Bs were fraudulent..

that was 18 years ago.. the program kept running..

Manav Bharti University sold 36,025 fake degrees while issuing only 5,455 real ones.. this has been running since at least 2010..

this isn't a printer in a back room.. it's a supply chain.. fake seals.. fake holograms.. fake transcripts.. 22 universities.. multiple states.. an estimated 1 million documents worldwide..

your doctor might have one of these degrees..

the system worked for the forgers.. just not for you.

I'll keep you updated. Turn on notifications. 🚨

The Library of Alexandria created the first catalog of all human knowledge 2,300 years ago, and a team of fewer than 20 people just finished the modern version and made it free for the entire planet.

It is called OpenAlex. The name is not an accident.

The ancient library had the Pinakes, a catalog mapping every scroll, every author, every subject. When the library fell, the map of what humanity knew fell with it.

For the last two decades, that map existed again, but it was locked up.

Elsevier owns Scopus. Clarivate owns Web of Science. If your university could not afford the subscription, you could not see the structure of science itself. Entire countries were priced out of knowing what research existed.

OpenAlex indexes 474 million scholarly works. Every author disambiguated. Every citation traced. Every institution and funder connected. It updates with roughly 50,000 new works every day.

The whole thing is CC0. Not just free to search. Free to download, copy, sell, and build on. The API allows 100,000 requests a day without an account.

The ancient library burned and the catalog was lost for two millennia.

The new one cannot burn. Anyone can hold a copy.

🚨New: Thousands of Virginia homeowners are fighting Dominion Energy’s Valley Link project that would build the most powerful transmission line in the commonwealth. Dominion Energy recently released a new route.

“No matter which route they take, it's through our property,” said Orange County resident Rebekah Henson. “To Dominion: Go away, you are taking away our home, our peace, our wonderful view. We don't want that.”

The 115 mile long 765-kilovolt electric transmission line would impact up to nine counties to power data centers in northern Virginia.

The line would end in Culpeper County at a proposed 88 acre substation where more lines are expected to branch out to reach other Northern Virginia counties.

This week, the Culpeper Board of Supervisors sent a letter to PJM urging the power grid operator not to approve the substation.

Dominion Energy told me they are only considering Culpeper County for the transmission line despite county opposition.

Several residents told me it’s unfair their homes and community might be impacted because data centers hours away need more electricity.

Now we know why Peter Thiel packed his bags for Argentina.

Milei just submitted his AI legislative framework to Congress, where he proposes:
- zero regulation on AI development,
- a brand-new "non-human corporation" category for AI/robot-operated entities with limited liability
-a low-tax regime with flexible governance rules.

The Dutch East India Company gave the world the limited liability company in 1602. Milei wants Argentina to do the same for autonomous AI agents in 2026.
