NEW: Pope Leo Set To Break Up Opus Dei If Pope Leo does indeed approves a plan that effectively dissolves Opus Dei’s structure, it would be the most significant internal action of his short pontificate to date.

BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV is set to effectively disband Opus Dei in the coming weeks.

This would be the most sweeping internal reform of his pontificate — and a dramatic continuation of Pope Francis’s legacy.

And maybe all the folks that voted for his confirmation--they knew what he was about and if they didn't, then they failed in their duty.

Suddenly sacked Former education stats chief describes her final days under DOGE

This administration relies on ideological decision making. If there is data that conflict with what they want to be "truth," then they simply stop collecting that data. That's fasicsm, pure and simple.

Today, Trump’s fascist regime:
1. Passed a bill that steals our money to enrich billionaires, strips people of food and healthcare, and provides billions of dollars to ICE.
2. Opened a concentration camp in Florida named “Alligator Alcatraz”.
3. Shared intentions to denaturalize and deport citizens.

Many seniors can’t afford dental care, hearing aids or glasses.

I’m proud that all Democrats supported my amendment last night to expand Medicare to cover dental, hearing and vision paid for by cutting prescription drug costs for Medicare in half.

No Republicans voted for it.

Black history will not be erased. I’m honored to help lead an effort to rename the House Press Gallery after Frederick Douglass --  an abolitionist, orator, and journalist.

Fetterman, McCormick called ‘cowards’ by protesters after canceling Pa. event The protesters showed up even though McCormick and Fetterman postponed their planned appearance on Saturday in Pittsburgh.

While Fetterman is busy telling reporters the left is Dems' biggest problem, he had to cancel an event with his Republican bro because they're both too unpopular and too chickenshit to face their own constituents.
