I was confirmed a year ago today on Easter vigil. Best decision I ever made 🙌🏼

At Baylor University, the largest Baptist university in the United States, Catholic Mass attendance has surged, with Sunday attendance at St. Peter Catholic Student Center rising from around 500 in 2021 to nearly 900 in 2026. Catholics now make up approximately 14% of Baylor’s student body, according to The Baylor Lariat.

120 people have signed up for a course to become Catholic at Baylor University, the largest Baptist university in the United States, according to The Baylor Lariat, the university’s student newspaper. The course had just 20 students in 2021, but more than 130 signed up in 2026, with over 75 attending regularly.

NEWS — Mike Bloomberg is back, baby. Bloomberg is putting $80 million into an effort to help Democrats, becoming one of the largest disclosed donors in the midterms. At least $50 million of that is to help Democrats in the House. Exclusive details with @boreskes.

🚨New: The U.S. House Judiciary Committee said it found 100+ previously unreported criminal illegal immigrants who benefited from Steve Descano’s “repeated refusal to prosecute." And from 2023-25, the committee says Fairfax Sheriff Stacey Kincaid declined at least 1,670 ICE detainers. wjla.com/news/local/house-re…

BREAKING: The Social Security Administration confirms to @FoxNews that it has just undertaken its largest cleanup of Social Security Numbers in the agency's 91-year history, correcting nearly 15% of all U.S. citizen SSNs (roughly 50 million out of 330 million). The changes include: - Adding 17 million dates of death to files that previously didn't have them w/ help from State Dept. - With help from DHS, updating 25 million files that had missing citizenship information. - Correcting an additional 8.5 million records with inaccurate citizenship data. SSNs are referenced by agencies across the federal government and in states to validate identities and prevent improper payment of tax dollars. SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION STATEMENT TO FOX:

The state planned to replace it with a new monument featuring the Ten Commandments, the Bill of Rights, the Preamble to the 1851 Indiana Constitution, and a commemoration of the donor. But in 2000, the ACLU and several others—including the vandal himself—sued to block the installation. becketfund.org/case/indiana-…

But in 1991, a man offended by the monument took matters into his own hands, toppling and destroying it.

In 1958, Indiana erected a seven-foot-tall Ten Commandments monument on the statehouse lawn. Donated by the Fraternal Order of Eagles, it stood alongside other monuments and markers for over three decades.

The spooky season is here, and the ACLU is necromancing the spirit of dead precedent to try to purge religious imagery from Indiana’s public square. @becketfund is helping @GovBraun defend Indiana’s right to re-establish a Ten Commandments monument on the statehouse lawn.

A coalition of Texas Democrats and education activists is pushing to upend the state’s takeover of Houston Independent School District, which has seen the once-troubled school system reach new academic heights. From @JWheelertv: dailywire.com/news/texas-fou…

St. Irene was a Portuguese nun who was martyred in defense of her chastity in the year 653. Saint Irene’s body was miraculously recovered after being thrown into the river. She was canonized as a Catholic saint because of the great amount of miracles that occured at her tomb. Her shrine, the “Santarem,” has played a key role for the great quality and beauty of the Catholic Faith that the Portuguese people have lived, even until today. More: aciafrica.org/news/4507/toda…

The internet told them Europe was a social paradise. Turns out the trains are awful, the health care isn’t free, and people can be really mean. buff.ly/5cLtnha

“May I die only for you, if you will grant me this grace, since you willingly died for me. Let me so live that you may grant me the gift of such a happy death. In this way, my God and Savior, I will take from your hand the cup of your sufferings and call on your name: Jesus, Jesus, Jesus!” -St. John de Brébeuf

Both WNBA Finals teams run off the court moments before the national anthem for the second straight game, returning seconds after the performance ends. @Outkick video shows players from the Atlanta Dream and Golden State Valkyries are noticeably absent during the anthem ahead of Game 2, as Grammy-winning singer Alanis Morissette performs. The repeated absence comes despite a WNBA rulebook requirement that players, coaches and trainers stand along the sidelines or foul line during the national anthem. See what the league's rules say and the questions surrounding the teams' actions: foxnews.com/outkick-sports/d…

I’m a Democratic convert to school choice. The federal tax-credit scholarship program will help Jewish parents protect their children from antisemitism, writes @JaredEMoskowitz on.wsj.com/4i6nhgV

St. Paul of the Cross pray for us. He was an Italian mystic & great preacher.  In 1721, after receiving a vision, he founded the Passionists, a community of religious, to evangelize & promote the love of God, through Christ’s passion. bit.ly/4cmb2dY

My latest @WSJFreeEx: A majority of American Jews will vote for Democrats next month. But data suggest, particularly when compared with demographically similar groups, the Democratic Party can no longer rely on automatic Jewish support. The party has only itself to blame.

Breaking: The Feds are conducting a bust across California right now, expected to arrest an estimated two-dozen foreign nationals accused of illegally registering to vote and some voting in multiple elections.
