Pope Leo XIV celebrated his first Mass as leader of the Catholic Church in the Sistine Chapel, a day after he was elected the first American pontiff by the papal conclave.
In a televised homily, he called for “missionary outreach” and defending the faithful. wapo.st/4d6M8hy

Fired up after Person County’s town hall last night. Republican lawmakers won’t show up because they can’t answer for Trump’s chaos. Let’s keep the pressure up.

Trump is shredding our Constitution and tanking our economy. Thom Tillis lacks the courage to stand up to him — I’ll be damned if I’m going to sit on the sidelines.
I’m running to fight for a better future for North Carolinians.
Join our campaign — let’s take back the Senate.
