Pope Leo XIV will be celebrating a mass in Chicago on the same day as Trump’s multi-million tax paid birthday military parade.

Chicago is expecting at least 1 million people to show up for the event. If you can make it to the Pope’s mass then do it, make it the biggest event of the day.

Pope Francis was a committed friend to the poor and the marginalised, a vocal advocate for #FoRB and other fundamental human rights, and a man who spoke truth to power right up to the final days of his pontificate.

His successor must build on his legacy.

In just three months in office, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has produced a run of chaos that is unmatched in the Pentagon's recent history. His inner circle — military veterans who, like him, had little experience running large, complex organizations — is in shambles.
