Brutal political day for Trump Without support from fellow Republicans for his Pope criticisms November looms Tonight’s “Scott MacFarlane Reports” youtu.be/nMvcPeGpzrw?...

Leo: "The message of the church, the message of the gospel -- blessed are the peacemakers. I do not look at my role as being political. I don't want to get into a debate with him. I don't think the message of the gospel is meant to be abused in the way that some people are doing."

Well put. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

. Funny how this works . . . .

"She is from British Columbia but moved to Texas in 2021 when she married her American husband. The family was driving home from a baby shower when they were stopped at a border patrol checkpoint. She and Ayla, who has autism, were fingerprinted and detained..." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world.

Let today in Hungary be a warmup for what we can do, for what we can have.

NATO allies refuse to join Trump's Strait of Hormuz blockade (Reuters) - The United States' NATO allies said on Monday they would not get involved in President Donald Trump's plan to blockade the Strait of Hormuz, further ratcheting up tensions within the increasingly fragile alliance.

Orban concedes defeat. The support of Trump, Vance, Putin, Lavrov, Weidel, Milei, Le Pen, Fico, Babis and many others could not overcome Hungarian anger at a stagnant, corrupt regime www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

🚨🚨MAJOR BREAKING: Opposition leader Péter Magyar WINS the election for prime minister of Hungary, defeating Putin and Trump’s ally Viktor Orbán. 🇭🇺

NEW: Leo XIV’s close ally Cardinal McElroy received a standing ovation at the end of his homily, where he called on Catholics to take action to help end the “immoral” war against Iran. “When we leave this church tonight, we must move beyond prayer in action. Not in our name. Not with our country.”

The Trump Administration viciously defends “political” content from MAGA-affiliated evangelical pulpits, and political activism by church affiliates acting like all but Super PACs. Just remember that when they attack Catholic priests for speaking out on the war or anything else.

"The thing that changed for me, looking back at Earth, was that [...] it truly emphasized how alike we are." Christina Koch, Artemis II mission specialist, served a #CupOfJoe with a latte beautiful perspective.

Hungary, once a model for the far-right oligarchy, now unsettles figures like Vance and Trump: suggesting votes may truly matter, democracy could mean more than a slogan, and the future remains open.

Anti-Orban concert in Hungary with the audience chanting “Russians, go home”

The US administration is engaged in Hybrid Warfare on Europe, Election interference in Hungary, UK and Germany by Trump, Vance and Musk, threats to invade EU-territory in Greenland , Economic Tariff Warfare,Threats and Geopolitical bullying. Trump's actions speak for themselves, a Russian asset.

Hungary… WOW 🤩🇭🇺

“We want to live in a free, European Democracy. After 16 years of sorrow, corruption and Russian influence. We have had enough” The organisers & singers at the massive Budapest concert told me why Orban has to go.

Lying from the White House Podium is now a family tradition.

Pope Leo provides us a master class description of Trump and his chosen war against Iran: “War divides; hope unites. Arrogance tramples upon others; love lifts up. Idolatry blinds us; the living God enlightens.”

History will look back at these crazy times.... #UnitedStatesofZi0n #EpsteinFiles #UnprovokedZi0Attack #WeSeeYouP4edo #DonnyDump 💩

Looks like Epstein trafficking victim Amanda Ungaro may be why FLOTUS is panicking. Ungaro needs to be protected. All sorts of nasty people will be trying to silence her.

Cal State Channel Islands philosophy lecturer Jonathan Caravello has just been ACQUITTED of assaulting ICE/CBP last summer while protesting a brutal Ventura County cannabis farm raid! His defense argued he threw a tear gas canister away to protect protesters. The jury acquitted him in two hours.

Protesters gathered in Trafalgar Square as it filled with voices condemning ICE terror From London, a clear message rang out state violence will not be ignored. When abuse goes unchecked, the world responds. Solidarity doesn't stop at borders. 🇬🇧

Tonight in Budapest’s Heroes’ Square, a sea of young Hungarians—who’ve only ever known Orbán’s corrupt, suffocating regime—are packed together, singing, chanting, and daring to dream of freedom again. Their hope is raw, their courage is real. The heart of Europe is beating in Budapest tonight. 🇭🇺❤️🇪🇺

Top Democrat on House Judiciary formally asks White House physician to conduct cognitive exam of Trump: “Experts have repeatedly warned that the President has been exhibiting signs consistent with dementia and cognitive decline… increasingly incoherent, volatile, profane, deranged, and threatening.”

Trump is doing everything he can to wreck this country — this time with our nation's capital. When will Republicans in Congress finally stand up to this guy?

“Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein have already shown extraordinary courage by coming forward, filing reports, and giving testimony,” 15 of Epstein’s victims said in a statement in response. “Asking more of them is a deflection of responsibility, not justice.” trib.al/urxzoYb

The Pope’s response to being threatened by the Pentagon? - Cancelled his July 4th US visit. - Spending our 250th birthday on an island where African migrants wash ashore. - Told Catholics to call their reps and demand an end to the Iran war. The first American pope. He will NOT be bullied by Trump!

PLEASE LET THIS BE TRUE!🙏🏼🙏🏼😮‍💨

"When you have a president who's running the country like a mob boss instead of a government, who's running the government for himself, of himself, and by himself, & for his cronies, instead of the people, by the people, and for the people, there's only one solution, & that's impeachment & removal."

I’m Team Pope Leo. And you don’t have to be a practicing Catholic to think — what the hell is wrong with the Pentagon’s mouthpiece? This is repugnant.

Melania Trump wants these photos and emails to be scrubbed from the Internet. Please stop liking and sharing them. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

1/2. Notice that after losing the war Trump threatens his allies rather than Russia — even though Russia quite literally helped Iran defeat the US and he knows it.

Melania: “I never had a relationship with Ghislaine Maxwell.”

That’s it Melania - keep the Epstein Files in the news.

3 ships. The Strait is not open.

CNN: The White House is claiming it was the president's tough rhetoric that brought Iran to its knees MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I'm sorry. That's not 'tough rhetoric.' It's insanity. It's calling for the murder of an entire civilization

Popok reports on Pam Bondi trying to wiggle out from under the House Oversight Committee subpoena by claiming in bad faith that the subpoena only applies to her as "AG" and not personally, as House Democrats threaten to begin contempt proceedings against her, and Epstein Survivors demand she comply.

“Trump lied. He is going after good people. Decent people. People who belong with their families and in their communities—not detained in an ICE facility. The American people need to see this for what it is. It is wrong. And I am not going to stay quiet about it.”

Inside that facility, I saw the human cost of this cruelty up close. This is not about safety. It is not about justice. It is about fear, dehumanization, and an administration that treats decent people like they are disposable.

NEWS: I just conducted an unannounced oversight visit of an ICE facility in Burlington, Massachusetts. A 🧵

Stunning reporting here that shows U.S. troops were left exposed in a known target zone with virtually no drone defenses. Now the soldiers themselves are calling out the Pentagon’s version of events as false. Hegseth and Trump keep lying to the American people about this war.

Another question for any thinkers out there; Why are “we the people” paying $60bn to $100bn+ every year to have a congress who is on vacation 90% of the time, and refuses to do anything “FOR“ we the people??!?!? 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

This is an account close to the Iranian leadership. We are now seeing the shape of why Iran agreed so enthusiastically to this "ceasefire". They will control and toll the Strait for the first time. They keep their nuclear program. They keep their missiles. What a disaster.
