Pope Francis posthumously sends a Popemobile to Gaza — a gesture more symbolic than logistical. Chuck Todd returns to discuss media complicity, Biden’s bubble-wrap presidency, and the audience-capture logic warping modern newsrooms. In the Spiel, Bernie Sanders’ love of the word “oligarchs” versus Elissa Slotkin’s preference for “kings” is perhaps explained by a family history that makes Slotkin a descendant of America’s hot dog royalty.
On the eve of the conclave to elect a new pope, some of the biggest questions hanging in the air have to do with LGBTQ Catholics. Will the church continue the path of outreach charted by Pope Francis, softening its harsh positions? Will it allow LGBTQ Catholics to fully participate in the church?
The Rev. James Martin, an American Jesuit priest, has built a ministry aimed at making gay, lesbian and transgender people feel more welcome in the Catholic church and advised Francis on the issue. He says Francis himself changed the church, but so did the many LGBTQ Catholics who have come out — changing the church at the level of the family and parish. That trend, he says, will continue.

Over five million US borrowers are in default, with their loan 270 days past due. Four million haven't made payments in 90 days. Now, the five-year pause on collections for defaulted student loans ended Monday.
The original pause goes back to a 2020 pandemic-era policy, but it was extended multiple times during the Biden administration.
For those in default, the collection of that debt may mean dipping into paychecks, tax refunds, and social security benefits.
These collections are being restarted weeks after the Department of Education has seen its staff cut by half.
Borrowers are also dealing with glitching and outages on financial aid websites.
We answer your questions about student loans and hear why so many borrowers are considered "seriously delinquent."|
After 100 days in office, how popular is President Donald Trump?
“47% of likely U.S. voters either strongly or somewhat approve of President Trump,” according to a poll conducted by Rassmussen Reports last month.
The biggest surprise? Over a majority of Hispanic voters, 58%, approve of President Trump, which is greater than his support amongst white (47%) and black (41%) voters.
Democrats told us that closing the border, and deporting illegal aliens, like Kilmar Abrego Garcia, was deeply unpopular within the Hispanic community and would sink Trump’s favorability.
