Pritzker: Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat. It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research…

Pope Francis was a steadfast advocate for interfaith dialogue, worked to strengthen the bond between the Catholic and Jewish communities, and was a true ally in the fight against antisemitism. His lessons resonated with - and lifted up - people of all faiths. May his memory forever be a blessing.

Pope Francis lifted the world as he led the Church with his profound moral voice. As he returns to God, may his call to humility and concern for the least among us continue to resound.

In Pope Francis’s last public address, he preached care of the marginalized, the vulnerable, and migrants, saying: “I would like all of us to hope anew and to revive our trust in others, including those who are different than ourselves.” May we heed his wish.

Not a single person out of 18 of the very most senior officials in this Admin — including the Director of National Intelligence and the CIA Director — voiced any concern with highly classified military plans circulated on Signal.
You also can be sure this is not the only time.

This is about as disturbing as it gets. When Trump says he plans to be a dictator, there’s no reason not to believe him.

Opinion | Kendrick Lamar’s Halftime Show Was Political Art, if You Knew Where to Look
