Pope Leo XIV’s doctors have confirmed that the tumor removed on October 13 was a lung adenocarcinoma and that the disease was localized.
Dr. Luigi Carbone and Professor Stefano Margaritora said on Wednesday evening that a subsequent oncological assessment has confirmed that “no further treatment is necessary.”
Just when I thought I couldn’t like @KaceyMusgraves anymore than I already did. Hot damn, ma’am! You’re amazing

I don’t think you have a dog in this fight but if you did you would have shot it.
I’ll take @ellalangleymsic over Kacey Musgraves any day.
And if I’m choosin’ Texas, I’ll take Ken Paxton over James Talarico.

The death penalty is inadmissible because it is an attack on the inviolability and dignity of the person. The common good can be safeguarded and the requirements of justice can be met without recourse to capital punishment: effective systems of detention have been developed that protect citizens while at the same time do not completely deprive those who are guilty of the possibility of redemption. #NoDeathPenalty

Pope Leo XIV: “Someone who says, ‘I’m against abortion,’ but says, ‘I’m in favor of the death penalty,’ is not really pro-life.”

Pope Leo XIV says discrimination based on sex, race, color, social condition, language, or religion is contrary to God’s intent—and must be eradicated.
This is Catholic teaching.

The Kennedy Memorial is made of irreplaceable marble that was gifted by Italy.
Matisse tapestries found throughout were gifted from France.
The massive starburst chandelier in the Opera Hall, and lights along walkways, were a gift from Sweden.
The record-breaking stage curtains were a gift from Japan. They had to build special looms to weave them because of how big they are.
The grounds are beautiful with displays of art.
This is what Trump is destroying.

"My father Michael Massaroli...you do my dad's legacy and the legacy of all these victims no honor by using this tragedy to spread hate. We have seen a medley of people come up today, of all races, all religions, all creeds and this tragedy is just that, it's a tragedy. I've had to grow up and spend the past 25 years seeing people use it to hate on our Muslim brothers and sisters, to hate on people who don't look like them. That's wrong. That does no honor to the victims here...please stop."

If Pillen's argument is going to be that he never "knowingly" hired undocumented workers, people should start asking him why he retained private attorneys to stop the deportation of certain workers. Don't let him wiggle out of this one.
PILLEN DEFENDS HIRING: Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen defended the hiring record of his family business and his support for stricter immigration enforcement after @flatwaterfreep and @nytimes found Pillen Family Farms hired undocumented workers. From @OWHnews.

Today we celebrate the birth of a little girl who would be called to become the Mother of her Creator, the Mother of God. Yet, she is born simply as a little girl, like the daughters and granddaughters we hold in our arms. We bestow upon her the most exalted and noble titles, such as Our Lady and Queen, but God’s way was and remains simpler and quieter, yet no less powerful and transformative. It is the way of Jesus Himself. #NativityOfMary

Rudy Giuliani: "I remember Sept. 11, 2001. But I heard her say she was there that day. I was there that day. I don’t remember seeing Hillary Clinton there.”
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Hillary Clinton never claimed she was in New York City on Sept. 11, 2001. She was in Washington, D.C., and traveled to NYC on Sept. 12, where she toured Ground Zero with Rudy Giuliani. Giuliani apologized in 2016 for making this false claim: snopes.com/news/2016/10/1… apnews.com/united-states-…

I was given my name by the Iroquois Nation many hundreds of years ago. By 1660 my name was printed on maps by the Europeans as they accepted the Native name which means Beautiful waters.
In 1867 the Canadian government decided to use my name for their providence.

Our closest ally. Our critical trading partner.
And Trump is hitting Canada with 50% tariffs.
What the actual fuck are we doing?

The world does not need an artificial intelligence that diminishes humanity; rather, it needs human intelligence enlightened by wisdom, political authority guided by conscience and technological innovation directed by charity. Only then will artificial intelligence become not a rival to humanity but a servant of the common good.
