Javier Milei and some of his MAGA world pals haven't had the nicest things to say about the Vatican.
But the highly popular Pope Leo is in Argentina and the government there is on its best behavior.

Ever heard of the English king Æthelstan? Neither has England. Which is a real shame since he was the country’s founding father.

The day before the Kristallnacht anniversary—this time in Philadelphia
The Philadelphia, Pennsylvania protest by “pro-Palestine” activists targeting Jewish-owned businesses was a pointless hate rally that did nothing for Palestinians and did everything to inflame community tensions, held on the eve of “the Night of Broken Glass,” or Kristallnacht, versaries in modern Jewish history, when the Holocaust began. The notion that harassing Jewish delis, restaurants, or Israeli-themed establishments in Philadelphia meaningfully challenges Israeli government policy thousands of miles away is absurd. It is performative activism at its worst.
Imagine if these activists reached out to the Jewish community and said, ‘let’s do a joint fundraiser for the humanitarian needs in Gaza in a non-political fashion and find a worthwhile organization that will support Palestinian civilians.’ Imagine if these activists developed pragmatic, achievable, tangible, and attainable policy goals that they could have pushed for in the new Congress to improve the lives of Gazans and promote reasonable US policy that can move the needle in a meaningful way, instead of harassing Jewish businesses and random Jews in Philadelphia.
Also imagine if the supposedly non-antisemitic and non-hateful elements of the “pro-Palestine” movement intervened to say, ‘maybe let’s not do this, and maybe our efforts could be better focused elsewhere.’ Instead, this movement has disintegrated into decentralized and highly radicalized networks that feed off each other’s contagious toxicity, rhetorical drunkenness, intellectual incoherence, and persistent self-sabotage. This is why the “pro-Palestine industrial complex” is all about making declarative, self-aggrandizing points, almost never about actually making a difference for the benefit of the Palestinian people.
I have been warmly welcomed at these Jewish-owned establishments, including those of Michael Solomonov, even as I have made my strong critiques of the Israeli government’s actions and policies well-known. In the face of such hate and foolishness, I encourage all Philadelphians to support these restaurants.

1/ I'll explain exactly how this happened because I'm the person at Forbes who calculates these numbers.
This is going to take some unraveling, but here's a spoiler: The president's answer here is nonsense.

Se que no lo sabe, pero Carrascal creció en una Colombia que le ofreció oportunidades y libertades impensables en la URSS.
Sin embargo, celebra la revolución bolchevique. Omite la dictadura, las hambrunas, las purgas, los juicios farsa y el pacto con Hitler.

Mr. October speaks:
It is heartbreaking to see antisemitism in my hometown. I was born in Wyncote, near Philadelphia, and it makes me angry and ashamed to see hatred tolerated there.
The numbers show this is not an abstract concern. The Anti-Defamation League recorded 465 antisemitic incidents across Pennsylvania in 2024, an 18% increase over 2023. It tracked 189 incidents in Philadelphia and 51 in Montgomery County. These reports include harassment, vandalism, and assault; they are not all classified as crimes. (adl.org, philadelphia.adl.org)
Hateful expression harms more than its immediate target. In a 2025 survey of Jewish Americans, 79% said they were concerned about antisemitism, and 52% said they had worried about their personal safety because of their identity. Nearly half reported taking steps to increase their security. A research review also found that exposure to hate is associated with worse psychological well-being, more negative stereotypes, and less trust between groups. (philadelphia.adl.org, pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov)
It takes me back to the racism I experienced in the 1960s: signs throughout the South declaring that Black people could be refused service, along with separate “white” and “colored” signs on bathrooms and drinking fountains,”no niggers”. I remember what that hatred looked and felt like. We cannot accept it in any form, directed at any people.
I wish I could be there to stand with those protesting HATE. I am asking elected officials and other leaders in Philadelphia: Where are the clear statements condemning antisemitism? When hateful language is excused or repeated, it can make hostility seem acceptable and deepen fear and division. Leaders should speak plainly and consistently: antisemitism and hate have no place in our communities.
What the hell? We have to speak up.
Reggie Jackson

“Whatever the pope says, it will be interpreted as a deep criticism of Milei and his government’s ideological attitude,” said Loris Zanatta, an academic who studies Argentina’s Catholic Church. “Since Milei is unpopular, it won’t be good for him.” wsj.com/world/americas…

Pope Leo XIV is a soft-spoken missionary who rode horseback to minister to the poor.
President Javier Milei champions unfettered capitalism and calls social welfare “an aberration” akin to robbery.
Today these opposites meet.

Historian Jon Meacham:
The world of FDR and Reagan had virtues the country rejected in 2016 and in 2024 but which the 2026 results show we are hungry for: decency, love of neighbor and a conviction that wild swings one way or the other are unwise.

You can make a very good case that the beginning of the end of the Trump presidency was when the people of Minneapolis refused to back down after two people were killed in the street and the admin was forced to retreat. After that they stopped seeming so formidable and scary.
People in Minneapolis placed “I Voted” stickers on memorials dedicated to Renee Good and Alex Pretti on Election Day.

Great time to reread @ccwhip's revealing profile of Susie Wiles from last year, in which she described Trump as having an "alcoholic's personality," admitted he was pursuing "score settling" and "retribution," and described his close advisers as a "conspiracy theorist" and an "absolute zealot."

“One of the president’s biggest frustrations with Wiles, according to administration officials, is that she and the Justice Department weren’t doing enough to go after people seen as leaking classified material, to jail reporters who publish such material and to prosecute his opponents.” wsj.com/politics/elect…

Pope Leo had a challenging day yesterday in Uruguay, which has the lowest share of Catholics in Latin America—and is proudly secular. Uruguay renamed Christmas “Family Day” more than a century ago, and it has gotten more secular ever since. wsj.com/world/americas…
