After Donald Trump attacked him overnight, Pope Leo said this today in Algiers: “The future belongs to men and women of peace. In the end, justice will always triumph over injustice, just as violence, despite all appearances, will never have the last word.”

Street mugger has completed precisely zero chores today… Yet somehow believes teatime is still his right. Audacity level: expert. 🍽️🐾 * it’s a good job he’s so cute.

Good morning & welcome to Garden Gremlin Breakfast Club This morning’s special: one bowl of breakfast, served with a little shouting, seasoned with impatience, and finished with a side of “I’ve never been fed in my life.”

Astoria the Wild Turkey flying up to her roosting tree in The Battery, NYC - always an exciting moment! Sometimes she surprises us by switching up her flight path or choice of tree - the Queen is keeping it interesting 🦃👑💕🌃 #birdcpp, #Astoria, #WildTurkey, #NYCWildlife

People will be closely studying how Hungary's opposition pulled off their win in such a pro-incumbent system. Important to note that the theme was corruption. Democrats need to get much better at calling out Trump's corruption.

Scenes from Budapest tonight: street party has just begun, people crying ans dancing.

@PollTracker2024 She still doesn’t get it by a wide margin. She lost by the widest margin of Democrats in recent history. Relying on her credentials just like Hillary did and just like she did. No working class pivot,no healthcare for all pivot,no restoring democracy just I was,I know,I used to!

@PollTracker2024 And you spent and wasted millions and millions of our campaign contributions. You lost. You are the past.

CNN: Kamala on why she is considering launching another bid for the presidency in 2028 “I served for four years being a heartbeat away from the presidency of the United States. I spent countless hours in my West Wing office, footsteps away from the Oval Office. I spent countless hours in the Oval Office, in the Situation Room. I know what the job is. And I know what it requires.” cnn.com/2026/04/10/pol…

@fieldproducer A Hard NO!!

This would be an absolute disaster for the democrats, please no. Knowing the job of President is irrelevant - the job right now is being electable.
