@christopherhale I joked during the conclave that I wanted a Pope so woke Opus Dei became Protestant.

@LauraRbnsn You KNOW they’re gonna get someone from Opus Dei. Call him Popus Dei.

I honestly cannot imagine anything funnier than the Pentagon picking some random man to be the Pentagon Pope and trying to make Other Pope happen.
I want this to happen so badly.

It’s wild. “In January, behind closed doors at the Pentagon, Under Secretary of War for Policy Elbridge Colby summoned Cardinal Christophe Pierre — Pope Leo XIV’s then-ambassador to the United States — and delivered a lecture. “America, Colby and his colleagues told the cardinal, has the military power to do whatever it wants in the world. The Catholic Church had better take its side. “As tempers rose, one U.S. official reached for a fourteenth-century weapon and invoked the Avignon Papacy, the period when the French Crown used military force to bend the bishop of Rome to its will.” thelettersfromleo.com/p/the-pentagon…

@DavidAFrench This is that repeating history meme where it’s like “It’s 2026 and we’re crashing the economy invading the Middle East” but instead it’s “It’s 2026 and the Protestants are threatening war with the Pope”.
English
This is unreal:
"As tensions escalated, one U.S. official went so far as to invoke the Avignon Papacy, the period in the 1300s when the French Crown leveraged its military power to dominate the papal authority. The Department of Defense and the Nunciature did not respond to requests for comment."

The Trump administration summoned a Vatican diplomat to the Pentagon, and during the tense meeting a U.S. official invoked the Avignon Papacy. On July 4, the American pope will be in Lampedusa -- he didn't pick that date by accident. @TheFP thefp.com/p/why-the-vati…
English
UPDATE: Letters from Leo can now independently confirm that the meeting took place — and that the Vatican was so alarmed by the Pentagon’s tactics that Pope Leo XIV shelved plans to visit the United States later this year.
Many in the Vatican saw the Pentagon’s reference to an Avignon papacy as a threat to use military force against the Holy See.

NEW: A stunning new report claims that the Pentagon summoned Pope Leo XIV’s top American diplomat and threatened him after the U.S.-born pontiff gave his January state-of-the-world address. Leo used the address to denounce a world ruled by “a diplomacy based on force” and “zeal for war.” thelettersfromleo.com/p/the-pentagon…

I wonder if he’s heard of the Prime Minister of Pakistan

JD Vance: "I think this comes from a legitimate misunderstanding. I think the Iranians thought the ceasefire included Lebanon, and it just didn't. We never made that promise, we never indicated that was gonna be the case."

I hate this goddamn timeline.

Trump cabinet member and HHS Secretary RFK Jr. will be starting a podcast as measles cases break out across the country.

JD Vance: "I actually wonder how good he is at understanding English, because there are things he said that frankly didn't make sense in the context of the negotiations we had"

we’re almost there.

JD VANCE: With no disrespect to the cardinal, I don't know who Cardinal Christophe Pierre is
REPORTER: He's the ambassador to the Holy Sea and US
VANCE: Okay, I've met him before. Sorry. I just didn't remember the name. I've never seen this reporting. I'd like to talk to him.

@Acyn I’m loving this preview of how the media is going to treat him when he steps in after Trump. They’re still giving him the light R touch but he can’t hold up under even that little.
English
Reporter: Is the threat to wipe Iranian civilization off the map still on the table? Is it fair to keep 90 million Iranians under that threat for the actions of their leaders?
Vance: We have economic leverage, military leverage. What he is trying to do is make sure the American people are safe…
Reporter: Wiping them off the map is different than economic or military leverage. Why is that kind of language useful in this kind of scenario?
Vance: We obviously don't want the people of Iran to suffer but we have a lot of leverage the president could use

Mike Johnson needs to bring the House back for an immediate vote on a War Powers Resolution.
We can end Trump’s reckless war and stop the chaos.
If Republicans choose the American people over their wannabe king.

@Acyn From “total annihilation” to “we’re going to lift sanctions and give them all the money”.

Reporter: How is the United States accomplishing its stated objective in ensuring Iran doesn’t have a nuclear weapon if they still have highly enriched uranium?
Vance: The president has talked about sanctions relief. The president has talked about economic partnerships and things like that. That is not going to happen unless the Iranians make a firm commitment to stop

Don’t let Donald Trump threatening Iran distract you from Donald Trump trying to restrict your right to vote distract you from Donald Trump being in the Epstein Files

Mayor Mamdani chats with New Yorkers while walking the six miles from City Hall to Gracie Mansion, fulfilling the promise he made in his inauguration speech to “be outside” as Mayor — “because this is a government of New York, by New York, and for New York.”

Graham Platner has:
- A Nazi tattoo
- Said he pissed on dead taliban members during war
- Said women should dress less revealing to not get raped
- posted racist shit about black people
That’s electable? No. Unless I guess you’re a white guy with a deep voice.
Graham Platner for Senate@grahamformaine
As our DC Democratic establishment friends are so fond of reminding us, we need to nominate the most electable candidate.

Leavitt: I have a direct quote from the president on NATO: They were tested and they failed. It's quite sad that NATO turned their backs on the American people over the course of the last six weeks, when it's the American people who have been funding their defense.
