β€œThat they should be the ones to welcome Pope Francis’s coffin in the basilica is because these people are those who represented the focus of his mission,” said Father Giulio Albanese, head of missionary cooperation and communications for the Vicariate of Rome. β€œThey are those who live on the peripheries, geographical and existential peripheries.”

β€œThat they should be the ones to welcome Pope Francis’s coffin in the basilica is because these people are those who represented the focus of his mission,” said Father Giulio Albanese, head of missionary cooperation and communications for the Vicariate of Rome. β€œThey are those who live on the peripheries, geographical and existential peripheries.”

The final honor guard for Pope Francis included migrants, prisoners, transgender people, the homeless and others selected by the Vicariate of Rome as a symbol of the late pope’s mission of inclusion and outreach.

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN.

☎️: (202) 224-3121

Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid.

The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING.

Call retiring Senators too!

Social security is a set of trust funds with a balance of about $2.7 trillion as of December 2024. We are the source of these funds. It belongs to us. These funds should be protected so we can protect each other. www.ssa.gov/oact/progdat...

For the democrats saying β€œwe can’t let the govt shut down” you’ve already lost. It’s not on you.

Republicans control everything, didn’t come to you for anything except your vote. Where else can you force changes? You can’t… you’re a willing participant in Republican majority

LOOK AT THIS.

Escaping poverty in America is nearly impossible.

This is why we have to band together as working people to DEMAND fair wages! #UnionsForAll

Walz: "The idea that the secretary of education would not know what IDEA is -- individuals with disability in education act -- that's like your mechanic not knowing how to put air in your tire. And she's in charge of this nation's education progress. It is catastrophic."

Gutting the Department of Education will impact everything from internet access to school buses.

Let’s not make it harder to learn.

Nothing says β€œparty of the everyman” quite like two born-to-riches nepo baby billionaires selling $80,000+ cars on the White House lawn.

Moulton: "Trump thinks if you try to kill cops to overthrow the government and change an election, that's not domestic terrorism, but somehow having a protest in front of a Tesla dealership is? The bottom line with Trump is freedoms and liberties belong to people who agree with him, and that's it."

No, but if they ignore it, MAGAts will forget about it. It's a win-win. They don't have to do anything and they won't get any blame.

Emergency Video: Dems are falling into GOP trap, plus all about what is happening in the Govt funding fight, and how dems can push back. This is your one chance to have some DOGE accountability, and on Ukraine. (link to full video in reply)

One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ?

They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses.

That’s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue.

The cost of tariffs isn’t just the cost of the tariff

If the word "women" is forbidden, then does that mean all restrooms are gender neutral?

Trump honored a cancer survivor. The boy's doctors now face his budget cuts. President Donald Trump honored a child cancer survivor during his joint address to Congress amid proposing vast cuts to medical research.

"A renowned medical school whose faculty helped treat a young cancer survivor honored this week by President Donald Trump is facing potentially devastating funding cuts because of the White House."
