Pope Francis taught us that in order to be great, we have to be good.
Care for the poor, feed the hungry, be humble stewards of the Earth and treat others how we would want to be treated—even if they pray or live differently than us.
His teachings remain as important as ever. May he rest in peace.

Every day he stays in his job is another day our troops’ lives are endangered by his singular stupidity.
He must resign in disgrace.
How many times does Pete Hegseth need to leak classified intelligence before Donald Trump and Republicans understand that he isn’t only a f*cking liar, he is a threat to our national security?
3,000 people die of food poisoning each year in this country. This is not Making America Healthy Again. www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/fda...
Trump’s “one big beautiful bill” greenlights Republicans gutting Medicaid and SNAP to fund billionaires’ tax cuts.
That's an ugly bill imo.
My Republican colleagues have shown zero resistance to Trump and Musk's disastrous agenda that has hiked everyday costs, fired thousands of Veterans and threatens to gut Medicaid and Social Security.
If they actually cared about the American people, they'd show some backbone.
Donald Trump promised that he was going to make America great, strong and powerful—but all he's done is make us weaker, sicker and less secure.
It's almost graduation season for students across the nation. It should be a time of celebration—instead, we have students fleeing from a shooter on campus.
Enough.
Republicans must help us pass gun reform.
My thoughts are with the victims' loved ones and everyone at FSU.
Growing up, my family depended on food stamps. Today, millions rely on SNAP to get a square meal.
With their budget, Republicans are proposing $12 billion in cuts to SNAP. Let's call this what it is:
They're taking food out of children's mouths to fund tax cuts for billionaires.
Sooo moms, what are you dyeing instead of eggs this Easter?🙃
Tell me in the replies.
Asking for a friend!
Not only was he not given due process, the Trump Administration is now blatantly—and willfully—defying the Supreme Court's ruling.
This is a dangerous escalation that threatens the rule of law.
Bring Mr. Abrego Garcia home.
Beth Benike served our nation and then built a thriving small business helping parents and their babies.
Trump’s 145% China tariff puts her business—and her home—at risk.
Billionaires can bounce back—but for the middle class, Trump’s chaos is devastating. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/14/p...
18 years ago today, a shooter killed 32 and injured 17 at Virginia Tech.
And all these years later, America is still the only country where this type of tragedy is commonplace.
It’s shameful Republicans won’t work with us to pass commonsense gun reform and help us save lives.
My heart goes out to the families and loved ones of these servicemembers—just tragic news. I will be seeking more information from DoD about the circumstances of these deaths and what can be done to prevent them in the future.
Trump’s plans to gut the State Department would jeopardize our global standing and national security, do almost nothing to cut the deficit and send a loud invitation to China and Russia to fill the leadership vacuum Trump would single-handedly create. apnews.com/article/stat...
This is dangerous for democracy *and* distracts our military from its mission of protecting you.
Separating the Armed Forces from civilian law enforcement is a core tenet of our democracy that helps protect you and your rights from government overreach. apnews.com/article/bord...
I caught up with @chicagomag.com about my efforts to push back against Trump's disastrous policies, my time as a Blackhawk pilot, what I've learned throughout my life of service and more. Check it out here: www.chicagomag.com/chicago-maga...
Americans pay into Social Security their entire working lives to live comfortably as seniors—
But Elon Musk and Donald Trump don't care.
Seniors are already seeing delays, and DOGE is teeing up more cuts to cripple the program.
They're playing with YOUR money and YOUR future.
Trump's purging the military of highly-experienced senior officers.
Why? Because he doesn't care about qualifications. He cares about loyalty.
Our heroes—and our national security—deserve better. My op-ed for Fox News: www.foxnews.com/opinion/sen-...
