Here is some truth: Putin invaded Ukraine. NATO is the most successful military alliance in history. Since 1945, American leadership has ensured freedom and security for ourselves and millions of others around the world. Together with our allies, we defeated the Soviet Union—an empire so evil it had to build gulags and walls to keep its own people in. Destroying America’s alliances and abandoning the cause of freedom is morally and strategically indefensible. Putin will pocket Trump’s naive concessions and demand much more. Appeasement makes a wider war more likely, not less.
@realDonaldTrump, @JDVance, and @elonmusk have made clear who they are. Only fools—or Kremlin tools—would abandon NATO, side with Russia, and demand Ukraine surrender in the face of Putin’s brutal aggression.
So all you cheerleaders for "the most moral army in the world" with your claims of "pinpoint accuracy." Take a look at what you enabled. This is the Genghis Khan model of warfare: total destruction, mass slaughter of civilians, complete eradication. Netanyahu says he has barely begun. Don't be on the wrong side of history. #NoToEthnicCleansing
@jimbretzke As a priest of the Diocese of Arlington for 30 years, I can say that, from my experience, the members of my parishes who are in the FBI have always been very faithful Catholics in leadership and support of the Church.
We were on an international zoom call this morning. This is moving forward, unfortunately, quickly.

The Misunderstood Reason Millions of Americans Stopped Going to Church
“Churches could model better, truer sorts of communities, ones in which the hungry are fed, the weak are lifted up, and the proud are cast down.” https://t.co/ZYk31w4znU
@JamesMartinSJ Wisdom from mom:
Every word that leaves your mouth (or your screen - she didn’t know about those) must pass through three gates. 1. Is it kind? 2. Is it true? 3. Is it necessary? We would probably reduce the cloud (that is recording all our precious thoughts forever) by 99%.
The pope said the council was the church’s response to that question and marked a renewed effort to feed God’s sheep, not just those who are Catholic, but all people. https://t.co/YCBKbS9K3J
"I implore that the armed attacks stop, that negotiations prevail, and that good sense also prevails, and that there be a return to respect the international law.” https://t.co/hWGGjzVzvr
By tradition a Pope’s most significant legal talk of each year, in today’s address to the Rota, Francis re-urges a firmer adoption of his 2015 reforms to annulment process, stating that “The true & first [judge] is the bishop – not the judicial vicar”: https://t.co/xUGiYQ8LQT
