Good yes but also clickbait, I liked how direct Pope Leo is, telling journalists “I urge you: never sell out your authority” I love this pope

The headline itself is clickbait, but really Pope Leo himself is direct telling journalists “I urge you: never sell out your authority”

Okay this is a good headline

You won’t believe what degrading practice the Pope just condemned

Stupid to lose your shit like that over nothing. I agree!

Jan_Morgan @janetmmorgan.bsky.social · 18h

Me neither, I’m not concerned about a temper if it helps gets things done but loosing control on camera no less is danger zone!

Wow too bad Porter was such a douchebag, I’m surprised. Maybe she was just tired and frustrated or just over her head. #JulieWatts was great.

I personally know Julie Watts, the reporter in this interview. She is a total pro, the embodiment of what the public expects from a journalist — someone who holds power to account, who asks tough questions, and who gets answers.

Katie Porter simply wanted to fight. She didn't get what she wanted.

We are in the second week of the Republican shutdown.

Where are House Republicans? On vacation.

Went looking around the Capitol to see if any Republicans had the common sense to come back. Featuring @mcbride.house.gov.

Macron has this right too: ‘The second thing is that in our societies, we must also rediscover a sense of respect, particularly respect between all citizens and towards those who hold democratic office.”

Abe Newman @abenewman.bsky.social · 4d

7/End result: Macron calls for a new enlightenment -- the end of dependence on US social media. Not because of economic argument (level playing fields) but because dependence threatens national security. Hate to say I told you so but @himself.bsky.social and I did.

Great thread, paying attention “The EU wants AI to become a ‘strategic asset’ deeply integrated into its institutions, industry, and security policy.”

Bari Weiss introduced herself to CBS News staff today on the network's 9AM call, saying she wants to "win," which requires restoring trust to CBS. She also said she was excited for staff to get to know the Free Press, and ended her remarks by saying: "Let's do the fucking news."

That’s a lot to say for Pritzker. Good for him (hope this quote is real), if it’s real, he needs to get Billionaire Angry. Imagine what Bloomberg would have done when he was mayor of NYC?
