Every worker deserves to come home safe. But workplace protections are being rolled back—and #workers are feeling it. Ahead of #WorkersMemorialDay, Tom Duffy of the @steelworkers joins me to discuss what’s at stake. Watch now👇

"the Church teaches, in the light of the Gospel, that “the death penalty is inadmissible because it is an attack on the inviolability and dignity of the person”, and she works with determination for its abolition worldwide." - CCC 2267 Pope Leo XIV sent a video message to participants gathered at DePaul University in Chicago for the 15th anniversary of Illinois' abolition of the death penalty. The Holy Father's address drew on the Church's consistent teaching that the dignity of every human person must be protected at every stage of life, including at its end.

.@PoliticusSarah, Editor in Chief of @politicususa, joins me Monday from 3-4PM ET. on 'Deadline D.C. with Brad Bannon,' to discuss the #IranWar‌ and the electoral battle for #Congress. Then, renowned Economist @RobShapiro weighs in the failed #Trump #economy.

Our problems do not disappear in the Lord’s presence; they are illuminated. Just as every cross finds redemption in Jesus, so the story of our lives finds its meaning in the Gospel. #ApostolicJourney #EquatorialGuinea vatican.va/content/leo-xi…

I leave #Africa with an immeasurable treasure of faith, hope, and charity. This treasure consists of stories, faces, and testimonies, both joyful and sorrowful, which will greatly enrich my life and ministry as the Successor of Peter. As in the early centuries of the Church, Africa is now called to make a decisive contribution to the holiness and missionary character of the Christian people. #ApostolicJourney

The young people in our @ObamaFoundation Leaders program give me hope. One of those leaders, Luisa Neubauer, is working to fight climate change and recently traveled to Antarctica. This Earth Day, I hope you'll check out her incredible story.

"Hundreds of thousands of workers across numerous industries—farming, glass, mining, steel & tires—got kicked in the gut when Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) ended for no reason in 2022. Bringing it back is a no-brainer." -@Steelworkers Pres. @Brownrox usw.org/taa-is-a-no-br…

Hope isn’t blind optimism — it arises in the face of uncertainty. If you look at our history, we’ve gone through some rough patches. But we tend to come out on the other side of them stronger than before.

#EarthDay26 means hope is on the way! Read the new column by my good friend @BradBannon for @TheHill. It's titled, "Amid Environmental Anxiety #Democrats Should Be the National Green Team." thehill.com/opinion/energy…. #EarthDay #Environment #ClimateChange #Climate #FossilFuels

Watch now as I'm joined by @NRDC's Bob Deans as he shares some of the 470 documented actions and proposals by the #Trump administration that threaten the #environment and public #health. Then, @REALTaraDevlin and I discuss #PopeLeo standing up to #Trump over the #IranWar.

BREAKING: About 120 U.S. military veterans were arrested inside the Cannon House Office Building today protesting Trump's war on Iran. Some were on crutches. Some were in wheelchairs. Some carried the burial flags of fallen soldiers. They are members of About Face — veterans who know what war costs because they have already paid for one. Capitol Police handcuffed disabled veterans and dragged them out of the rotunda. 53% of American voters oppose the war. 74% oppose ground troops. 61% disapprove of Trump's handling of it. The people who fought America's last wars are now being arrested for trying to stop the next one. Never stop connecting the dots.

Barbara Flynn Currie was a trailblazer, becoming the first female majority leader in the history of the Illinois House. But as the veteran representative when I was a state senator, she was also a great partner — smart, independent and pragmatic, showing all of us that it was possible to operate with integrity in politics and still be effective. Michelle and I are thinking of her family today, and everyone who benefitted from her extraordinary life of service.

From Chinese vehicles to #ArtemisII moon missions to steelworker pride—this conversation covers it all. 🇺🇸 Don’t miss my latest interview with @ScottPaulAAM of @KeepItMadeInUSA on why U.S. #manufacturing still matters. Watch now 👇

Watch Monday from 3-4pm ET as @NRDC's Bob Deans joins me to celebrate the upcoming #EarthDay. Then, @REALTaraDevlin, Host of the TARABUSTER Podcast, weighs in on #Trump's terrible temper tantrums.

"Fed data shows that #IncomeInequality in the U.S. reached its widest gap since 1989. A new @TheEconomist poll indicates that 2 out of every 3 #Americans favor additional taxation on people making more than $1 million per year." - @BradBannon for @TheHill thehill.com/opinion/financ…

Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth. #ApostolicJourney #Cameroon vatican.va/content/leo-xi…

“To splice together movie cuts with actual bombing and targeting of people for the purposes of entertainment is sickening. This is not who we are,” says Cardinal Blase Cupich of Chicago, criticizing what he calls the White House’s “gamification” of the war on social media. cbsn.ws/4tO90K5

BREAKING: Speaking to reporters aboard the papal plane to Algeria on Monday, Pope Leo XIV said: “I think that the people who read will be able to draw their own conclusions: I am not a politician, I have no intention of entering into a debate with him. Rather, let us always seek peace and put an end to wars. I am not afraid of the Trump administration. I speak about the Gospel, I am not a politician. I do not think the message of the Gospel should be abused in the way some people are doing. I will continue to speak out loudly against war, to try to promote peace, multilateral dialogue between states in order to seek the right solution to problems. The message of the Church is the message of the Gospel, blessed are the peacemakers; I do not see my role as that of a politician, I do not want to enter into a debate with him. Too many people are suffering in the world.”

"Nearly half a million #Americans from all walks of life joined #unions last year, even as #billionaires and their cronies threw up roadblocks and tried to hold us down." Read the rest of the new blog by @steelworkers President @BrownRox. usw.org/welcome-to-the…
