@superbucks2050 @PpollingNumbers And yet, it did. A ten point swing. It will move more in the coming weeks.

@sweetsuetroy @PpollingNumbers No , they won't. Leo is behaving so poorly and pettily that most Catholics will suspect that subversion is in play.

New - Trump approval poll - Catholics (attending church weekly) 🟢 Approve 58% 🟤 Disapprove 42% YouGov #A - RV - 4/10

We are living in a time of blood curdling clarity. Do not pretend to be blind. I live in Troy, N.Y. I will primary @SenSchumer or @SenGillibrand if no one else will. This can not be allowed to continue.

@tperkins Nah. Bernie is Jewish and correct. You're propaganda old and outdated.

Senator Bernie Sanders is a representation of the prevailing anti-semitic, anti-Jewish mindset of the Democratic Party.

I'm now forcing votes on the U.S. Senate floor to block nearly half a billion dollars in bombs and bulldozers to Israel. U.S. taxpayers are tired of Netanyahu’s extremist and illegal behavior. Congress cannot write another blank check to war criminals. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

@USA_Polling Less than a week.

Trump Approval Among Catholics: Disapprove: 54% Approve: 46% YouGov / April 10, 2026

@RepRoKhanna @CapaTosta122 @TheSandersInst @SenSanders @NaomiAKlein Love Bernie❤️

Thank you @TheSandersInst for hosting a deep and substantive discussion with @SenSanders and @NaomiAKlein on the future of AI and how we can make it work for everyone not just the billionaires.

"For a long time, the criticism of Bernie was that he hasn’t “gotten anything done.” Beyond that being just a total lie, it misunderstands what doing actually is. Yes, it’s legislating, but it’s also changing the entire political environment that delineates the boundaries of legislative possibilities."

@jamestalarico Amen

With all due respect to the Office of the President, this post contains several claims that are factually inaccurate and theologically misguided, and as a Catholic I feel compelled to respond. 1. The Pope was not elected to please any president. Pope Leo XIV was elected by 133 cardinals from across the world in a sacred conclave, on the fourth ballot, on May 8, 2025.  The Holy Spirit guides the conclave, not American politics. To suggest that “if I wasn’t in the White House, Leo wouldn’t be in the Vatican”  is not only historically ignorant but theologically offensive to every Catholic on earth. 2. He was not an unknown outsider. Pope Leo XIV served as Prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops under Pope Francis, one of the most powerful roles in the Vatican, responsible for selecting bishops for dioceses worldwide.  He was one of the most qualified candidates in the College of Cardinals. 3. He is deeply rooted in service, not politics. An Augustinian missionary who worked for decades in Peru, Pope Leo XIV dedicated his life to the poor and the Gospel long before any political figure noticed him.  His name honors Leo XIII, the Pope who championed workers’ rights and the poor during the Industrial Revolution, a tradition of Catholic Social Teaching that predates any modern political party. 4. The Pope’s role is prophetic, not partisan. When the Pope speaks on peace, nuclear weapons, immigration, or the dignity of nations, he is fulfilling the mission of Christ, not opposing any government. His first words as Pope were “Peace be with you all,”  echoing the Risen Christ (John 20:19). A Pope who is silent on injustice would be failing his divine mandate. 5. Demanding a Pope “get in line” with a president contradicts 2,000 years of Church history. From St. Peter before Nero, to St. Thomas More before Henry VIII, to John Paul II before Soviet communism, the Church has never existed to validate earthly power. “We must obey God rather than men.” (Acts 5:29) As Catholics, we pray for all leaders, including President Trump. But we stand firmly with our Holy Father. Habemus Papam. And he answers to God alone.

“If the Democratic Party wants our support it must become a party of the working class—not of corporate America.” @BernieSanders

@ryangrim @AmirAminiMD Embarrassing

Lmao

As a Catholic, I think it’s important to clarify something here: when the Pope speaks on issues like war, immigration, or human dignity, he is not trying to dictate American policy—he is teaching moral principles rooted in the Gospel. Catholic social teaching doesn’t belong to any political party or nation. It calls all people, in every country, to consider the dignity of the human person, the value of peace, and the responsibility we have toward one another. That’s not foreign control—that’s moral guidance. Catholics in the United States are fully American and fully Catholic. We are responsible for applying those moral teachings within our own civic framework, using our own prudential judgment. The Pope does not govern the United States, and faithful Catholics are not bound to adopt specific policy positions—only to take moral truth seriously. I also want to say this respectfully: framing the Pope’s moral voice as a threat risks misunderstanding both Catholicism and the long history of Catholics contributing faithfully to American life. We can disagree on policy. But we shouldn’t dismiss moral concerns simply because they come from Rome. Conscience, informed by faith and reason, has always been part of the American conversation too.

Do you support Pope Leo XIV's stance on the US-led war in Iran 🇮🇷? Yes or No?

GAME CHANGER: Montana just found the "exit ramp" to kill Citizens United. They aren't waiting for the Supreme Court—they’re going around them. 74% of voters are on board and corporate lawyers are PANICKING. This is how we win. 🏔️💸 dworkinsubstack.com/p/army-secreta…

I am not trying to make my Catholic friends, who I love, angry with this statement. But this entire episode is starting to explain to me why so many Americans were concerned about a Catholic president for so long. I have no interest in Rome trying to dictate American policy. And if it continues to loudly make its opinions heard on our foreign policy, I believe they’re going to find a lot of American Protestants feeling a lot less ecumenical than we have been in the more recent past.

@cspan @SenatorSlotkin WHO?!

@mehdirhasan Bernie

You may be right but it should be Ossof not Shapiro.

YES

@iam1Lerato @anneapplebaum Killing children isn't political. It's moral.

The Trump administration gave a Vatican envoy "a bitter lecture warning that the United States has the military power to do whatever it wants—and that the Church had better take its side"
