#Peace is everyone’s responsibility, beginning with civil authorities. To govern means to love one’s own country as well as neighboring countries. The commandment “love your neighbor as yourself” is equally applicable to international relations! #ApostolicJourney #Cameroon vatican.va/content/leo-xi…

God’s heart is torn apart by wars, violence, injustice and lies. But our Father’s heart is not with the wicked, the arrogant, or the proud. God’s heart is with the little ones and the humble, and with them He builds up His Kingdom of love and peace day by day. Wherever there is love and service, God is there. #ApostolicJourney #Algeria

In 4 starts this season, Nolan McLean hasn’t allowed more than 2 earned runs… and somehow has just ONE win to show for it.
When your starter shoves and holds the Los Angeles Dodgers to 1 run over 7 innings, that game HAS to be a win.
The New York Mets failed him last night. Plain and simple.

@bipp24 @NewsHour @TheStephSy It’s called “world news”, mate. I know the US doesn’t realise that we exist outside of your bubble, but we do. ✌️

The incoming prime minister of Hungary struck a hopeful tone on Monday, and for the first time since 2010 it was not Viktor Orbán.
Peter Magyar has called for a swift transition of power. And, as @TheStephSy reports, he began to chart an ambitious course to reverse central pillars of Orbán’s rule.

@Amy_Siskind Very telling when the words of the parasites and bad actors are considered as a consensus of good.

A decade after his first bid for the White House ended in failure, Bernie Sanders is still trying to take over the Democratic Party.
But the question remains: Can Sanders’s version of the party actually beat Republicans?

"These types of stretches are going to happen. It's tough when it happens early in the season, it's tough when it's happening when we're just not winning ballgames and the microscope is going to be right there on our offense.
We have another game tomorrow against one of the best in the league, so we have no time to dwell on it. We'll just get some rest tonight and come back with a good attitude and see what we can do."

After separate allegations of sexual misconduct, two members of Congress are resigning.
Democrat Eric Swalwell faces multiple allegations of sexual assault. He denies the accusations.
Republican Congressman Tony Gonzales’ resignation comes after he admitted to sleeping with a staffer who later took her own life.
@LisaDNews has more.

@SteveGelbs Yes but now they have Stearns leading the way. The only way is down.

The Mets have to prove that an uninspiring 7-9 start to the season is an aberration.
From SNY's Chelsea Janes:
"This team – despite being built around many players who had no part in last year’s failings – must prove it is not the same maddeningly uninspiring bunch that never recovered in the second half before anyone absorbs well-intentioned assurances about how talented the lineup is.
...
They should be better than they have been. They have reason to believe they can be better than they have been. But after missing the postseason by one win last year, this group has not earned the right to struggle in peace. No one can take their word for it these days. If these Mets are better than this — if these Mets really are different than last year — they will have to prove it."

After sliding from first to last place on the back of five straight losses, social media is already eulogizing the Mets' season.
Can I blame them? Not really, give the history of my beloved team.
I’m not quite there yet, but let’s just say I’ve already moved my Jets gear to the front of the closet.
Old habits—and so many disappointments.

@WeTheBrandon The Europeans prefer to pay off and enrich Iran than invest in their own defense. They are a weak and crumbling society. It's ironic. They have been living off hundreds of years of stolen wealth and now it's payback time.

The reason Trump’s counter-blockade in the Strait of Hormuz seems comically absurd is because it is born out of raw desperation. You see, Trump expected Europe and others to send their navies to reopen the Strait, figuring that those regions rely upon trade via the Strait more than we do. What he didn’t figure was how utterly intransigent the Euros and others would be to his pressure campaign. Once he realized that the Euros, Japanese, etc., were simply going to pay the Iranian toll to move their goods through the Strait rather than risk a war, Trump panicked, understanding too late in this affair how dreadfully exposed to the disruptions of Iran’s blockade the US economy was. Now, Trump is scrambling. Desperate to pressure the rest of the world into supporting his bid to reopen the Strait. He still doesn’t get it. Which is why he will keep getting this thing wrong.

@Keir_Starmer Lots of talking while America does the heavy lifting. This why the UK is a dead country and NATO is finished as a functional alliance.

The ongoing closure of the Strait of Hormuz is deeply damaging. Getting global shipping moving is vital to ease cost of living pressures.
The UK has convened more than 40 nations who share our aim to restore freedom of navigation.
This week the UK and France will co-host a summit to advance work on a coordinated, independent, multinational plan to safeguard international shipping when the conflict ends.
