Was visiting family in SC this weekend & went with parents to church (Catholic). The priest preached compassion and love for others in his homily then the first prayer was for “all those falsely imprisoned” so you can’t tell me Francis didn’t shift the vibe
Pope Francis’s "Urbi et Orbi" Easter speech:
“How much contempt is stirred up at times towards the vulnerable, the marginalized and migrants...I appeal to all those in positions of political responsibility in our world not to yield to the logic of fear which only leads to isolation from others.”

A new study models the impact of the implosion of U.S.-funded disease treatment and prevention in the developing world — and suggests that Elon Musk and Marco Rubio will go down as among history’s greatest monsters if funding and effective administration are not restored.
Count the Dead by the Millions

Hella time to be a historian who writes about the history of tariffs and trade policy...
One big point amid all the headlines: I was texting with press secretary Karoline Leavitt during the event and she confirms that the 34 percent tariff on China is ON TOP of the previous 20 percent. So that means the rate on China will be *54* percent when these tariffs take effect.

Raskin: Would it be problem for it to be standard practice to conduct sensitive foreign policy on a signal chat group? It just came out that Waltz’s team set up 20 signal group chats for crises across the world… I’m sure this will raise the question on whether he should continue in that position

Tonight, a Democratic candidate became the first Democrat to win the county in a federal election race since 1992. A simply stunning result. Trump won FL-1 by 37 points. Republicans have easily routed Democrats in Pensacola’s Escambia County for over 30 years. Not tonight.
