Elected officials answer to VOTERS…not billionaires, corporations, or wealthy donors. Sen. Jon Ossoff is calling for a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United. “We The People” must demand it. OUR DEMOCRACY IS NOT FOR SALE.

I encourage you to carry forward the mission of evangelization with enthusiasm. Be bridges, so that many may encounter Jesus. Be a fraternal community that comes together and shares life, projects, dreams and hopes, especially with those most in need. Be a community of prayer that maintains an ongoing dialogue with the Lord as a friend speaks to a friend (Jn 15:15). Christ is counting on all of you! Christ is counting on you! #ApostolicJourney #Uruguay vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/e…

Gospel of the Day (Luke 16,9-15) Jesus said to his disciples: "I tell you, make friends for yourselves with dishonest wealth, so that when it fails, you will be welcomed into eternal dwellings. The person who is trustworthy in very small matters is also trustworthy in great ones; and the person who is dishonest in very small matters is also dishonest in great ones. If, therefore, you are not trustworthy with dishonest wealth, who will trust you with true wealth? If you are not trustworthy with what belongs to another, who will give you what is yours? No servant can serve two masters. He will either hate one and love the other, or be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon." The Pharisees, who loved money, heard all these things and sneered at him. And he said to them, "You justify yourselves in the sight of others, but God knows your hearts; for what is of human esteem is an abomination in the sight of God." vaticannews.va/en/word-of-th…

Hinojosa NAILED IT. This isn’t about left versus right. It’s about 99.9% of us versus 15 billionaire tech guys who think they own our government. THAT’S THE REAL FIGHT. 👏

Pope Leo at Mass in Uruguay: “Dear brothers and sisters: today it is up to us to continue the legacy that these sowers of the Gospel have left us, and we must do so keeping in mind what the Word of God tells us: with justice, honesty and fidelity, aware that the message we announce does not belong to us. It is a treasure that we have received from the Lord, and we carry it in clay vessels.”

Stephen Miller’s uncle David Glosser on his nephew’s hypocrisy: “Our family history is entirely dependent on our ability to escape a terrible situation in Belarus. Had we not been able to enter America when we did, Stephen Miller would not exist. Everybody else who didn't make it to America was swept away in the Holocaust.”

Here we go again. Once and for all: You must be someone who has just stumbled upon me. I work in the legal field and I have 20 years of experience in the law. That being said I can tell you that the vast majority of the Epstein and Maxwell evidence, which some call “files”, was under seal until about July 2024. Maxwell’s appeals and legal defense opportunities had to be exercised and exhausted before that evidence could be released to the public. The last thing anyone wants is for her to get out of jail on a technicality that could’ve been prevented. Right? Biden chose not to release the evidence because that would’ve opened up a can of worms that would have potentially tainted Trump and Harris’s campaigns and by tainted I mean interfered with. So he followed the DOJ policy that no information like this could be released within about 90 days of an election. Frankly had he released even a handful of the evidence, Trump likely wouldn’t have been elected. (See: Hilary 2016). And in his defense from a legal perspective only the allegations would’ve been unfounded or unproven and could not have been proven without a doubt before the election. So like it or not it’s highly likely that Biden did Trump a favor.
Replying to @SassiestMinx
Why didn't the previous dem administration release the Epstein files? No dem has given me an answer to this that didn't involve "BUT TRUMP"

Can one of these philanthropists get behind prevention & treatment? It feels more like a package deal if you really want to make a difference.

Visiting one of the poorest neighborhoods in Uruguay, Pope tell its citizens: “We need to continue to commit ourselves to the charity and closeness of the Good Samaritan who did not remain indifferent upon seeing misfortune, but took responsibility for his brother’s life…We need to shake off our apathy and advocate for the common good.”

Gary Chambers, of Louisiana, deserves recognition for the years he has been organizing and advocating for the Black community to exercise their democratic right to vote and self determination. In this political moment Stacey Abrams , Charles Blow, Roland Martin, Senate candidate Angie Nixon have been recognized for engaging the Black vote in the South which was the catalyst of this “Blue” wave. Add this man’s name to the list who is carrying the legacy of the Civil Rights movement in Louisiana. Thank you @GaryChambersJr We still have work to do!!! In honor of the blood on that ballot box.
