Fighting against Trump isn’t enough. It's time for Democrats to show America what they're fighting FOR — and embrace the fresh, new voices leading the way. Watch. https://youtu.be/Uzc57eD3cWI?si=65LK4EXG7o-_BtmU

Pete Buttigieg would be a good DNC spokesperson.

He would do a GREAT job of going around the country, being on TV all the time, and putting out Dem messaging on EVERY issue.

He would be an excellent counter-Leavitt. And we NEED one. He should be holding regular press conferences and putting

Padre Guilherme, a priest turned DJ, celebrated the 75th birthday of the Archbishop Bernard Bober with a dance party outside a 14th-century cathedral in Slovakia.

Who knows. For years I thought, "*Now* will they finally say 'enough'?"

Is this finally the big—as some have so aptly put it—jailbreak?

Let us hope and pray that it is. But let's not hold our breath.

79% of homes sold in Dublin this year were bought by landlords, 75% by large landlords. About 1 in 5 TDs are landlords.

This is disgusting dog whistling. The problem has never been people seeking asylum. The problem is people seeking to endlessly profit from folks just looking for a home.

Catherine Connolly got more votes than any other president in the history of the state.

An absolutely *brilliant* day for Ireland.

Now the left needs to show it can, despite differences, work together to provide a numerically viable alternative to FF-FG business-as-usual at the next Dáil election.

It could not be more needed, by people, nature, + climate.

A landslide for Catherine Connolly and an historic victory for the left.

When left unites, we can win. Now we need to deepen co-operation to mobilise people in defence of neutrality, for OTB, on housing and cost of living.

We need major conference of left to discuss next steps.
