I can’t imagine what the families of Annunciation in Minneapolis are going through. These school shootings are beyond horrific. The true tragedy is that they are still occurring and this is just the first week of school. It’s sickening. My prayers are with this community.

Putin has targeted civilians in Ukraine and is killing more children than ever before in this war. Putin is a monster and the Alaska summit was a disgrace. Here’s hoping that today’s meeting with Zelenskyy and the European leaders reminds Trump of who started this war and on whose side we should be.
