These people are so boring. Every single vote has been expected and bland. There is ZERO gameplay with these people. They had MULTIPLE options to take out big players and make a big move and what did they do? The safe, boring vote. #Survivor

I’m sorry, this season has been SO BORING so far. As soon as a tribe loses, you know who is going home. WHERE IS THE GAMEPLAY?!?!? Hopefully post-merge is more exciting. #Survivor

Sadly I think it’s time for me to admit that maybe I’m actually just an Aaron Dessner fan, cause everything after #folklore and #evermore (and the songs he did on #TTPD) has just fallen flat for me. #Showgirl #TLOAS

CRS was featured on last night's PBS Newshour! Give it a watch/listen at the link below. @pbsnews.org
"We can build fences and build borders and reinforce them. I prefer that we build bridges. That's what a great nation is: someone who shows the generosity in spirit they have. It's not someone who says, I'm only going to help my family," CRS President and CEO Sean Callahan said to @pbsnews.org.

Oh wow.

Note: This response (below, which is real) to Trump’s tweet depicting himself as pope is from the New York State Catholic Bishops, who represent the collective bishops of the state.

Among them is Cardinal Dolan of NYC, who Trump appointed to his new religious liberty commission this week.

We mourn the passing of #PopeFrancis. His compassionate leadership and unwavering commitment to social justice left an indelible mark on the world. While he will be greatly missed, we celebrate his enduring legacy of love, humility, and service to humanity. #RIP, Pope Francis.

For me, Pope Francis was a shining example of what a Catholic should be. I will miss the leadership he gave to the Catholic Church.
