I love nature, outdoor adventures and photography. I am keen on recording beautiful scenery and sharing the little happiness in life.
Robert Francis Prevost, who was elected the 267th pope of the Roman Catholic Church today and took the name Pope Leo XIV, is the first pope from the United States.

A member of the Order of St. Augustine, he resembles the late Pope Francis in his commitment to the poor and migrants.

“So far, the most energetic opposition has come not from civic leaders but from everyday citizens, showing up at Congressional town hall meetings or participating in Hands Off rallies across the country.

“Our leaders must follow their example.”

The new surgeon general is an anti-vax wellness influencer who dropped out of their medical residency after attending Stanford Medical School?

An anniversary worth marking.

I'm sure we're going to see the very people who have trashed its legacy seek to appropriate WW2 today - so let's remember what was really fought for: peace, a more united Europe, a land fit for heroes (mark 2) and the defeat of fascism.

Eighty years ago, enemies laid down their arms.

Since then, we, Europeans, have built something extraordinary: a Union of peace, democracy, and solidarity. An anchor of stability.

Our Union was born as a peace project, and it remains one today.

When I was diagnosed with cancer, I set out to understand why a single pill of Revlimid cost the same as a new iPhone. I’ve covered high drug prices as a reporter for years. What I discovered shocked even me.

This administration has deported a four-year old U.S. citizen with cancer.

They're illegally disappearing people to a foreign torture prison.

The first thing history will say about Secretary Noem's leadership is that she was responsible for many of these travesties.
