why's Trump so blase about Nvidia CEO/Chinese-spy affair?
-He admires richer people, like Huang.
-He fears stronger people, like Xi.
-He thinks cheating on spouses, like he's done, is normal.
-He doesn't really care about national security - just himself.

Pope Leo XIV to young people in Argentina:
“To each of you, I would like to say that there is a place for you in the Church, with your questions, your wounds, and your story. This is your home, too.
You do not have to pretend that everything is fine, or wait until you have your life sorted out before drawing near.
And to you who think it is already too late to begin again, I would like to say, Welcome, whoever you are or whatever you have done. Jesus Christ, knows you, loves you, and wants you to be close to Him.”

Today idols arise and demand our worship: success at any cost, money, an obsession with appearance, popularity, or the unrestrained pursuit of pleasure. Sometimes, in order to win the approval of others, we may go so far as to lie, betray, or humiliate someone on social media. Do not bow down before anything that cannot give you life. And if you have ever fallen, get back up. Do not allow anything or anyone to take away the freedom God has given you. #ApostolicJourney #Argentina

Moving scenes as Pope Leo XIV cries as over a million faithful sing the Salve Regina in Latin to honour Our Lady, the Holy Mother of God, the Virgin of the Miracle of the Rosary, so loved by the people of Córdoba, Argentina.

The Saints and Blesseds have already fulfilled their mission on earth. Today it is our turn to follow the shining path of holiness they have left us. Open your hearts and, with God’s grace, go and be saints: at school and in the town square, in your families and with your friends, in the countryside and in the city, on the farm and in the office. #ApostolicJourney #Argentina

John Lewis, 2018: We are going forward. When the state of Georgia becomes blue, along with the state of Texas, they will not be able to hold us down. It’s going to happen.

News: Dem Rep. Haley Stevens, who enraged Democrats by endorsing GOP Senate candidate Mike Rogers, spent the vote series tonight in the Republican cloakroom, per multiple sources.
This was the first vote series post election.
Multiple reporters from The Sun stopped by her office today and it appeared to be closed.

A small cabal of self serving, ultra rich tech titans should not be allowed to drive humanity off a cliff with artificial super intelligence, while they quietly build their rockets and bunkers in New Zealand and Hawaii to escape the apocalypse.
Stand with us and DO NOT ACCEPT this future.
AI companies admit what they’re building might kill everyone. We don't have to agree to this.
Add your name at donotaccept.ai to say: we do not accept your terms.

The challenges posed by #ArtificialIntelligence and unregulated automation can put countless jobs at risk and become a real threat to proper integral human development. Technology must always be subject to ethics; an algorithm cannot replace human discernment or a worker's value. Access to work for all must be a high priority for public policies and economic processes, serving as a criterion for evaluating the human quality of any development model. #ApostolicJourney #Argentina

I’m a progressive, but I think different subsections of the Democratic Party do different things very well, and the best version of the party moving forward takes a little bit from each of them.
This will vary by state, district, etc. but this is my ideal blueprint for the national party heading into 2028:
— “Name the enemy” progressive economic populism around billionaires, mega corporations, affordability/cost of living, etc. (à la Mamdani/Bernie/AOC)
— “Root out corruption root and stem” and litigating the case about how Citizens United is poisoning our country (à la Ossoff)
— “Love thy neighbor” empathy and tolerance on trans issues (à la Talarico/Hamilton/Warnock/Beshear)
— “America First, but not in a racist/assholic way” around things like tariffs, foreign wars, and spending our tax dollars at home instead (à la El-Sayed)
— “Reclaim patriotism and the American flag” (à la Ryan/Deluzio)
— “Get shit done” (à la Pritzker/Shapiro)
— “Humanely but effectively secure the border, treat immigrants with dignity & dismantle ICE” (à la Pulido/Gallego)
— “Protect our kids from preyed on by Big Tech” (à la McMorrow)
— “These data centers better pay the fuck up” populism (à la Hinojosa/Hong/Lawrence)
— “Let’s regulate the fuck out of these AI companies so we don’t all die” (à la Bores)

We cannot turn a blind eye to the fact that there are children who do not go to school. We cannot silence our conscience when we see a mother lacking the means to feed her children. We cannot ignore the many people around us who are suffering, alone and vulnerable. We need 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. (Lk 10:29-37) #ApostolicJourney #Uruguay

NEW: Pope Leo XIV turned his own cancer into a case for universal health care on Friday, telling Uruguay’s president that care must reach everyone “regardless of their resources.”
“Recently I experienced firsthand the limitations imposed by illness and I received care for which I am deeply grateful,” the pope said.
That care, he said, made him think of the “many men and women who lack the means to obtain a timely diagnosis.”
With his vote in Tuesday’s U.S. midterm elections, Leo XIV became the first known pope in the Church’s 2,000-year history to vote in a democratic election.

For years, my dad battled Parkinson’s disease. On Election Night, I got to tell him, “Pop, we won.”
This morning, he passed away.
A part of me believes he held on just long enough to see his son make it to Congress.
He won’t be there when I’m sworn in. But I know he’ll be standing right beside me.
Rest easy, Daddy. I’ll take it from here. These next two years are for you ❤️

Pope Leo XIV drew on his own recent experience of illness and hospitalization after surgery for lung cancer on Friday to make an impassioned appeal for universal access to healthcare, greater social equality and a society that does not measure people's worth by their productivity or wealth. cbsn.ws/4AiB37l
