Pope Francis was born Jorge Mario Bergoglio in 1936 in Buenos Aires. Later, as the leader of the Roman Catholic Church, he elevated the causes of migrants and the disenfranchised, and pushed the church to more forcefully confront its own history of scandal. Here is a timeline of his life.

RFK Jr. knows amazingly little about autism
For someone who's been talking about it for so long, the HHS secretary got many basic facts wrong.

This! Too late for Wray and Smith, both of whom are already obeying in advance. But there’s still time for others.
To Jack Smith, Chris Wray, and anyone else thinking of just obeying in advance: STOP.
Our system depends on there being a political cost for breaking things. If Trump wants to fire the FBI Director or fire the Special Counsel prosecuting him, make him do it.
Stop doing his work for him!

Two years ago today we were awarded the Congressional Gold Medal for protecting The US Capitol on January 6th 2021. Almost 4 years later the efforts to downplay, whitewash and minimize what happened appear to be succeeding. I won't ever stop standing up to them.

If any partner in the “Five Eyes” alliance (USA, UK, Australia, Canada, & New Zealand) does not trust Tulsi Gabbard, her nomination is in deep trouble. It is very possible one or more of our partners is unhappy with her. H/t MSNBC (a fleeing reference by a knowledgeable guest caught my attention).

Memo to Senator Durban and Leader Schumer: Move these Biden-nominated federal judges along NOW, before the Senate flips from blue to red on January 3
"Every judge the Senate confirms during the lame duck is one fewer vacancy Trump can fill when he takes office...one more judge who could bolster the guardrails of democracy to check the egregious abuses of power Trump has already promised."
