Very cool!
It was an honor for MK and me to meet with Pope Leo XIV – a son of Illinois – to express the pride and reverence of the people of this great state. Pope Leo XIV’s message of hope, compassion, unity, and peace resonates with Illinoisans of all faiths and traditions.

Federal court blocks new Texas congressional map for 2026
The decision is a major blow for Republicans, in Texas and nationally, who pushed through this unusual mid-decade redistricting at the behest of President Donald Trump.

Saw the movie #Nuremberg yesterday. I thought it was incredible. Since then, we've been fact checking - it's accurate.

The movie included a clip from a concentration camp film shown at the trial; I've found an archived 1945 UPI article that links to the entire film.

Trying to understand it all.

Almost forgot this! I was on a Zoom call with a friend in Ukraine on Thursday and she told me she had seen a #NAFO car for the first time, in her own city! Also had 🇩🇪 flag.

Good work, #Fellas 💙💛

There's NO justification for what russia and putin are doing to Ukraine. It's beyond horrible.

And the United States does NOTHING, because its electorate chose to elect a selfish, corrupt, megalomaniacal, intellectually-deprived charlatan instead of competent leadership.
Ukrainian energy workers are stuck in a nonstop cycle, racing to fix power grids and systems after relentless Russian missile and drone strikes. Every day, teams face danger and exhaustion to keep homes lit and the country running, but Russia keeps hitting critical infrastructure ...👇
