Walking through the Vatican, I remember saying to my mom, “This is absolutely gorgeous… but it feels like it goes against everything Jesus taught.” The gold, the gilt, the pageantry, the guarded walls, the lavish robes, the opulent altars, the unimaginable wealth… it’s breathtaking, but hard not to wonder how any of it aligns with a man who preached humility, simplicity, and detachment from earthly riches.



to all house dems, this can happen to you easily. imma tell you one time: don't fuck with me. @RoKhanna you fucked with me. that's against the aforementioned rules. so you next. everyone has a secret, a vice, a mistake. but not everyone has a determined enemy. tread carefully.




Who started the Trump 'feud' with the Pope? open.substack.com/pub/pflawler/p…



I publicly urged Swalwell to resign three days ago, and his resignation provides some relief and vindication to survivors. We must thank and praise those courageous survivors who risked their reputations, careers, and emotional well-being to protect other women and halt his torrent of abuse. But we also must ask the harder question: for a man long rumored to menace young female coworkers, why did so many powerful people look the other way, and even support him? It is time for a reckoning.


In a brief interview outside the Capitol tonight, Gallego told me and @migold that Swalwell led a "double life" and he never suspected he was pursuing staff as has been alleged.





‼️ 37,836 housing units destroyed or damaged in Lebanon in just 36 days. All by Israeli strikes, with American bombs. That’s over 1,000 homes per day. The worst-hit areas: • Nabatiyeh: 7,065 • Bint Jbeil: 6,939 • Sour: 6,363 • Marjaayoun: 4,716 Southern Lebanon is being systematically flattened while politicians in Beirut rush into “peace talks,” even as Israel states the war continues. Baabda, with 7,536 affected units, stands out. As the district immediately south of Beirut, including Dahyeh, it shows how close the destruction has come to the capital. These are not abstract figures. They represent homes, lives, & futures being erased at record speed. #SouthLebanon #LebanonUnderAttack
