We are watching generations of hard-fought progress being rolled back. More than 70 years after Brown v. Board of Education, the Trump Administration is moving to end federal oversight in school desegregation cases, including in Mississippi. We fought too hard and came too far to go backwards. Every child deserves equal access to a quality education.

A bipartisan group of 14 senators urged President Trump to disinvite Russian President Vladimir Putin from the Group of 20 summit this December. wapo.st/4iPisdW

To savor God’s closeness and human fraternity, we must reject desires that consume our relationships without giving anything in return or filling us with things that cannot nourish us. Such a lifestyle drives us to have everything, but to become no one; to receive countless “likes,” but to remain alone with ourselves. When we decide not to follow that lifestyle, we then begin to strive toward righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, and gentleness. Those who live with God strive for what is best. #ApostolicJourney #France vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/e…

NEWS: I’m calling on FAA Administrator Bedford and Defense Secretary Hegseth to immediately reject Donald Trump’s plan to turn his golden vanity arch into a military complex. This plan is as dangerous as it is ridiculous. Full stop.

Ouch. Good spot

If we are to avoid losing our humanity amid a “paradise of machines” invading and conditioning our daily lives, there is an urgent need for education in ethical discernment and the capacity to acknowledge the moral good. This is indispensable if we are to recognize the genuine good that enables human beings to flourish in accordance with their primordial vocation, with unconditional respect for their interior freedom and their sacred dignity. #ApostolicJourney #France vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/e…

Bill Clinton: "I got news for the people who work in the White House today. There were lots of times when I wanted to ban the White House press corps. And there's a reason we have a constitution. Because none of us are immune from being pissed off."

Ossoff: They tried to put special needs kids in jail. And then when my investigation brought all this to light, when we held Senate hearings and exposed it all, instead of resigning, or at least leaping into action to fix it, state officials retreated into denial and PR and counterattack. Because foster kids don't have lobbyists or a super PAC. Neither do the women subjected to medical abuse in ICE detention. Neither do the female inmates sexually abused by the warden and the chaplain in their federal prison. Or the young military family neglected by the defense contractor with a fifty-year lease on privatized housing at Ft. Gordon. But they deserve leaders who see them and expose those who abuse them. And that’s exactly what I’ll keep doing.

Exclusive: The Trump administration has deported more than 25,000 people to at least 28 countries even though the migrants are not their own citizens, according to data analyzed by The Post. Migrants say they have been subjected to inhumane conditions. wapo.st/4hgzwqN

“Instead of respecting the law, those in power invoke it when it serves their interests and disregard it when it restrains them, treating even justice itself as though it were a commodity to be bought and sold.” — Pope Leo XIV

Yesterday, I visited East Potomac Park and saw the golfers, cyclists, runners, and families who enjoy this treasured space. I also saw the Trump Administration tearing apart East Potomac while refusing to tell the public what it is doing, what it has done, or what it plans to do next.

Bill Clinton: "Some days I can hardly believe what is happening in this country that I love so much. People in charge have created one set of rules for themselves and another set for everyone else. They've weaponized government to settle personal scores, prosecute enemies, stamp out free speech. They've even made the federal government a new profit centre for themselves and their allies."

"Hands off the ICC!" Dutch Prime Minister Rob Jetten pushes back against the United States' attempt to dismantle the International Criminal Court, which is based in The Hague.

NEW: Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson blasted the conservative majority for ignoring the harm voters will endure by allowing Trump to use a flawed system for voter purges. "The harm caused by burdening...lawful voters outweighs the nonexistent harm that the government experiences," she wrote. democracydocket.com/news-ale…

🔥 DR. @AbdulElSayed: “Do you know how many terrible things @billmaher has said about people like me? But I WOULD go on his show — because I want to give people the image of watching him get his ass whooped on his own show by a guy who prays like I do.”
