Pope Leo brushes off Trump criticism amid growing Vatican–U.S. tensions over Iran war Pope Leo XIV says he will not be deterred by criticism from President Trump, vowing to continue his calls for peace as tensions escalate between the Vatican and Washington over the Iran conflict.

Pope Leo XIV: "I will continue to speak out loudly against war…Too many people are suffering in the world today. Too many innocent people are being killed. And I think someone has to stand up and say there's a better way."

This is NOT going to help his case. He's doubling down and I love that for him (because this is only going to anger people more).

Thanks for the heads up. There are other delivery services out there. Or I'll just pick up my carry-out myself -- or better yet, cook at home the way prices are skyrocketing. Thanks, FOTUS.

One odd thing about how I'm seeing some mainstream outlets cover this publicity stunt that Trump's doing here is talking about this as though Trump seriously just ordered DoorDash and this wasn't planned. Obviously, it was.

I'm pretty sure this is not what Jesus would do.

ONLY U.S. CITIZENS CAN VOTE NOW. Yes I'm shouting because the SAVE Act is just another way to disenfranchise voters, largely those who might vote for Democrats. Call your Senators ASAP and tell them to vote NO on this unconstitutional, anti-democracy legislation. We do not need more ID requirements.
