I thought this photo was him caught on a Nest cam like he's a raccoon on a porch.
"Given the intense national enthusiasm that followed Pope Leo XIV’s election, in May, perhaps the most striking feature of his papacy is how inconspicuous it’s been." Randy Boyagoda explains why Leo’s quiet leadership might be just what the Church needs:
A Quiet American Papacy
Pope Leo’s relative silence carries certain risks, but it might be exactly what American Catholics need right now.

Hard to explain how pivotal this theatrical experience was to me as an 11-year old, as a nerd, as an "am I gay?" child, and as a fan of the Guns N' Roses cover on the soundtrack.

This is actually good spin, or would have been. But the fact that the Democratic cave happened without even a coordinated, agreed-upon message like this indicates the depth of the leadership void.

There was just an enormous coronal mass ejection that could cause G4 - G5 conditions. Could arrive in just *24 hours*. That's FAST.

It's been rumored for a bit they would leave mid-November. It's not the weather, just the natural lifespan of a ~225 person operation.
Before Border Patrol arrived, ICE was still here. They were smashing cars to pull people out of them, taking people from court and check-in appointments, etc.

Bovino left LA to come to Chicago and it's not like LA saw immigration operations stop - just less showboating from his crew. So even if these circulating rumors over the last week turn out real, I'm pessimistic about how much change to expect on the ground.

Federal immigration agents part of the Trump administration’s “Operation Midway Blitz” may soon leave Chicago, according to multiple sources who said the controversial mission was rapidly winding down after a contentious two months of enforcement raids that have set the city and suburbs on edge.
Federal Border Patrol Chief Gregory Bovino and agents said to be leaving Chicago, sources say
Cmdr. Gregory Bovino was expected to depart Chicago within days, while most Border Patrol agents under this command would soon be redeployed elsewhere, three sources told the Tribune Monday.

Kinda funny to pause Hallmark's "Christmas Above the Clouds," an modern telling of A Christmas Carol, to go see "Die My Love" and spot the same actor in both films...who was also in "Final Destination: Bloodlines." What can't Gabrielle Rose do?!

Real but "now is the time for thoughts and prayers not partisan debate" vibes going on here.
The sooner we get past internal recriminations and back to fighting united, the better off we all are — the likelier our victory next November.

In my experience, men's public bathrooms aren't exactly a model of handwashing, so I have to imagine he's just angrily loitering by the sinks in hopes that a guy actually does wash his hands so he can scream at him.

if you genuinely think Schumer and Democratic leadership opposed this & Republicans coincidentally got exactly the number of votes they needed to avoid a filibuster and none of those votes are from Democratic Senators who are up for reelection in the midterms next year, I have a bridge to sell you.

just three days of seeing firsthand how people are doing everything they can to kick ICE out of Chicago was honestly the most optimistic I have been since Zohran won the primary
