Pope Leo XIV just went viral belting out “L.O.V.E” with Michael Bublé at the Vatican’s Concert with the Poor, a Christmas event where the front rows are filled with homeless and low-income guests.

Michael Bublé called it “the greatest night” of his career.

The full story is below.

"Why does he keep doing this to himself? It's like masochism. He's going to keep going on and trying to claim that he's a farmer?"

Tim Miller and Bill Kristol discuss Scott Bessent repeatedly alleging he's a soybean farmer.

Healthcare for profit is evil as it is but "want patients to become consumers" is just despicable.
Roger Marshall: "We want patients to become consumers again. We want patients to see what the actual prices are. We believe that if we would add the price tags to this bill, that it would save the country a trillion dollars a year."

"choosing to let...spend"? Seriously? Go pour a few more pounds of sugar on that statement to coat it. This is why we have no faith in democrats to speak truth or fight back. THE CHOICE IS BETWEEN RISKING POSSIBLE DEATH OR FINANCIAL RUINS or access to really shitty & limited healthcare options.

I’ll never forget hearing Donald Trump’s racist “shithole countries” comment in a 2018 Oval Office meeting about immigration.

Tom Cotton and David Perdue claimed Trump didn’t say it and accused me of lying.

The truth comes out.
TRUMP: “I said why is it we only take people from shithole countries? Why can't we have some people from Norway, Sweden, Denmark… But we always take people from Somalia— places that are filthy, dirty, disgusting.”

Such a mystery what he means when he says this stuff, isn’t it?

What would those records help reveal? Where Epstein got his money. How he acquired and controlled his victims. Who he trafficked them to. What individuals and banks enabled the trafficking. Who else had control of Epstein’s accounts, and what crimes they committed.

The Treasury Department has its own Epstein file containing thousands of bank records. My investigators reviewed a portion of those records last year. I've demanded the Secretary Bessent produce the file for further investigation. He has refused repeatedly.

There are communist countries and dictatorships that don't treat Americans this way.

Trump is doing it to citizens of our close allies.

A lot of tourists understandably won't trust Trump's thought police with that information.

They'll stay away, and our economy will suffer.
The Trump administration plans to require all foreign tourists to provide their social media histories from the last five years to enter the country, according to a notice published in the Federal Register.

Today, Rep. Don Beyer, Sen. Peter Welch and I are introducing a bill to expand ranked choice voting to all elections for Congress. RCV assures that winners have majority support, no candidate acts as a “spoiler,” and the voting process favors positive coalition-building.

Republicans have no idea what to do. They've been promising a health care plan for 16 years and never offered one.

They could pass everything on this list and it wouldn't stop catastrophic health care cost increases for the American people.

We need a major anti-trust overhaul in this country. Across all industries. The sustained growth of inflation isn’t because of the government flooding the market with cash during the lockdown. It’s because of lack of competition driving costs up to increase profits for conglomerates.

Time for another review of the REAL #TrumpInflationCrisis. I compared prices on Biden's last day in office versus 12/9/25 prices under Trump's ecomonic "genius". My standard Kroger "cart" is up 10%+. These items are jacked up the most, often accompanied by shrinkflation. Are we winning yet?

I saw an incredibly disturbing video of the U.S. attacking survivors of a capsized boat in the Caribbean.

All of Congress and the American people deserve to see the full, unedited video of the boat strikes and make their own judgments.

I would really like to see more Ds speaking up to defend her. this is ridiculous and horrific.
Trump’s obsession with me is beyond weird. He needs serious help.

Since he has no economic policies to tout, he’s resorting to regurgitating bigoted lies instead.

He continues to be a national embarrassment.
Trump: "Ilhan Omar, whatever the hell her name is. With her little turban. I love her. She comes in, does nothing but bitch ... we ought to get her the hell out ... she's here illegally."

The crowd in Pennsylvania then starts chanting "send her back!"

Not only does it continue a trend of lawlessness, but it also is part of Trump's effort to reshape how our military is used – and it's not for the good of the American people.
