Australian media representatives were among those to hear directly from Pope Leo XIV at the Vatican on Thursday with about 150 members of newswire alliance MINDS International. Continue reading...

Surprisingly, Ashli Babbit taught us a lot of things posthumously like: Don't leave behind a Twitter/BlueSky account full of reposts that prove you have no original thoughts, and, that her parents could not spell "Ashley" correctly which might explain #1.

CNA President Cathy Kennedy, RN urges voters to stand with nurses and vote #YesOnProp50! Working people — not billionaires or politicians — should decide the future of our country and our health care.

A gathering of people outdoors at a political event, with an individual speaking at a podium surrounded by multiple American flags. Signs are visible with messages including "YES on 50" and other slogans. The setting is sunny with a clear blue sky.

People at a rally holding signs, including one that reads "YES ON 50! Nurses for Democracy." The event is affiliated with National Nurses United.

The budget reconciliation bill that Congress recently passed will triple ICE’s budget, give billionaires tax cuts, and slash Medicaid, taking health care from millions. Who are they serving?

👏 Nobody should be fighting cancer and their congressman at the same time.👏

What DHS pulled in Chicago on Tuesday is wildly unconstitutional. They smashed down almost every door in the building, dragged entire families into the street, and detained people for hours ("Kavanaugh stops").

Ms. Fisher was held for five hours and another senior citizen was held for three hours.

Rodrick Johnson, 67, is one of many residents who were detained by federal agents during the South Shore raid. A U.S. citizen, he said agents broke through his door and dragged him out in zip ties.

Johnson said he was left tied up outside the building for nearly three hours before agents finally let him go.

“I asked [agents] why they were holding me if I was an American citizen, and they said I had to wait until they looked me up,” Jones said. “I asked if they had a warrant, and I asked for a lawyer. They never brought one.”

Setting aside the absolute scientific idiocy of the specifics here, reflect for just a moment on the fact that there's a list of "banned words" at all.
That's fascism and unAmerican.

POLITICO Pro: Energy Dept. adds ‘climate change’ and ‘emissions’ to banned words list

It is the latest in a series of Trump administration efforts to dispute, silence or downplay climate change.
