NEW: Per a Department of Defense official to @rns.org, the much-discussed meeting between the papal nuncio and military officials at the Pentagon meeting DID happen — but they're disputing the Free Press's assessment.

all these universities kept axing medieval history departments as if they thought tyrants beefing with the Pope was going to stop being relevant

I'm thinking about all the people googling "Avignon papacy" or looking it up right at Wikipedia, and I love this for all of us. It gives me hope.

Here‘s the thing about Elbridge Colby telling the Vatican that America is powerful enough to do whatever it wants anywhere in the world: Iran is currently showing everyone that this is extremely untrue.

Pope Leo is never coming to America as long as Republicans are in office and ya know...that's just fine.

these idiot adult converts are going to drive me back into the extremely questionable arms of the church

A member of the Texas social studies advisory panel warns the overhaul is being rushed, teachers are being cut out of the process, "the draft changes are infused with Christian nationalism and are too dense for children to comprehend." A disaster in the making. 🗃️ www.expressnews.com/politics/tex...

everything we are seeing now is the consequence of having a political environment in which indifference to the deaths and suffering of other people - even by the state whose supposed responsibility is to safeguard their welfare - is a superpower rather than a political liability

DC folks, please attend if you can.

As for the smart asses in my time line I just need you to understand that I am part of a group of people who have been telling you all about these crazy Christians for over ten years now. So I kinda resent the snark about something I've given some time to. We tried. We didn't convince them or you.

Come on then, and remove him.

I wish he'd move that prayer vigil up to tonight

You know, I'm not in DC right now but how hard would it be if everybody against this murderous despot would leave their house and get in the streets tonight with a candle and say no more

I guess we're just waiting around to see if this demented psychopath kills everyone: defector.com/i-guess-were...

Rev your mentor would have told you to say something stronger right now. Get a spine

He's terrorizing Iran. He's terrorizing America. Is there not a single soul in his circle that can talk to this madman?

“A whole civilization will die tonight,” but nonetheless I hope this email finds you well!

US-Israeli strikes destroy synagogue in Tehran, prompting outrage amid reports of 15 killed across Iran overnight.

losing contact with the earth for 40 minutes sounds nice

Q: What is your response to critics who say that your mental health should perhaps be examined as this war continues? Trump: I haven't heard that

I like to do a little brain exercise. I imagine that Biden or Obama did something like the current President and I imagine how long it would take for the calls for impeachment or 25 amendment or worse would happen

I have many thoughts today, but mainly thinking about my former colleagues at AP and how they overcome incredible challenges every day to get the news out. Not sure what the plan is here, and I'm not sure management knows either.

If I'm the marketing director at Nutella I'm working on that commerical RIGHT NOW

Current mood.

SCOOP: A long-time State Department staffer tells me they're "outraged" by the Easter proselytizing. And they're not alone. Secretary Rubio and the department itself asserted Christian beliefs as fact on their official accounts... ...the way they didn't for Passover.

It really is amazing seeing the most brilliant people in the room suddenly discover what us dummies have known for a decade.
