.@charlescwcooke: America's immigration system is no good. It is totally irrational and it needs to be completely reworked.

Jewish Electorate Institute/Mellman post-election poll of 800 Jewish voters: 69% voted for Democratic candidates. 25% voted Republican. 28% of Jewish Dems said they voted for Israel critics despite strong disagreement, citing other factors. Since 2024, Jewish Democratic voter support for Democratic candidates has declined, albeit modestly. It stands below the levels recorded during the Democratic wave in President Trump’s previous midterm election. The Mellman Group

A Call To Action for the Conservative Movement from @EWErickson, a Consistent Champion for Conservatism on Radio Stations Across America👇🇺🇸 “It is, however, time that you start, again, being a conservative movement, not just a tool of a guy in a White House who runs a political party that got beat to hell and driven to the verge of extinction on Tuesday night. “You can be conservative. You do not have to be an apparatus of the Republican Party. The GOP needs you. But it needs you as a bulwark, not as a tool for its own political ambitions that forces you to set aside principles for power.” ewerickson.substack.com/p/yo…

The Papal Basilica of St. Mary Major in Rome will soon begin restoration of its Pauline Chapel, a significant work of early Baroque architecture. The project will restore the frescoes and other artwork surrounding the “Salus Populi Romani” icon. ewtnnews.com/vatican/restora…

Pope Leo XIV’s first Mass in Argentina drew around 2.5 million people to Buenos Aires, according to local authorities. The crowd was so large that many followed the celebration on more than 30 screens installed for the faithful. But one of the most moving moments came during the consecration: upon hearing the Holy Father’s words, even those who were kilometers from the altar knelt to adore Christ in the Eucharist in complete silence.

In these tents next to the site of Pope Leo XIV’s Mass in Buenos Aires, 500,000 already-consecrated hosts were kept under watch from 5:30 a.m. today, ready to be distributed during the celebration. Mass had not yet begun, and Argentinians were already kneeling before the Eucharist. Video: Andrés Henríquez / EWTN News Follow Pope Leo's trip to South America at EWTNNews.com

More of My Thoughts on the Midterms in @WSJopinion 👇 “Before the Republican Party lost the election, it lost its way. Our principles can bring us victory again. With conservative principles restored to the center of our movement and our party, the American people will again trust us with their votes. “We must learn from our mistakes and return, invigorated to save our country. With the next presidential election on the horizon, we must decide what we’re for before we decide who we’re for. “For now, we walk through the debris, pick up the pieces, and start to rebuild. As we enter this postelection season, I will double down our efforts to revive the conservative movement through our voice and the work of @AmericanFreedom. I invite you to join us. “Like most people of faith, I’m an eternal optimist. I know that with God’s help, we can save our movement—and our country—again. We can return the Republican Party to the timeless principles that have led to our greatest successes and, more important, have made America strong, prosperous and free. The conservative comeback starts today. Let’s get to work. wsj.com/opinion/mike-pence-b…

It would’ve been hard for even the best Republican candidates to prevail in Texas in a year like 2026. Ken Paxton and Bo French were about the worst the state had to offer, writes @jackbutler4815 on.wsj.com/482TC3E
