Preach with your lives and with your words…
Presiding over Mass on the feast day of the Patroness of Uruguay, Pope Leo XIV highlighted how the Virgin Mary is an example of faith for everyone.
Moreover, he drew attention to mothers and grandmothers who "quietly passed down from generation to generation" the faith.
He urged them to "never tire of passing on the faith", challenging them to preach with both their lives and their words.

Bitcoin banking is banking for grown-ups. No daddy central bank can absolve you of your mistakes by printing money for you.
There is no do-over button.
Only fully matched reserves can protect you.
Free-market banking is full-reserve banking.

We need a pathway to citizenship for immigrants who have spent years working hard, paying taxes, and strengthening our communities.

NEW EPISODE: “I'm going to zag when everybody zigs. Now the problem is that may mean half the time I'm just going to lose everything. And then you have this critical question: am I okay with that? And most people's answer to that question is no, and then they stay to the conventional path.”-Chamath Palihapitiya, All-In Podcast @chamath

SQUARE EXPANDS BITCOIN PAYMENTS ACROSS ITS 4 MILLION MERCHANT NETWORK ON TUESDAY
Jack Dorsey’s Square is expected to complete its phased Bitcoin payments rollout on November 10, expanding availability across its network of more than 4 million merchants.
The rollout began March 30, when Square started automatically enabling Bitcoin payments for eligible US businesses rather than requiring merchants to opt in.
Customers can pay using the Lightning Network, with transactions settling in seconds. Merchants receive US dollars by default but can choose to keep payments in Bitcoin.
Square is waiving Bitcoin payment processing fees through December 31, 2026, after which a flat 1% fee applies.
Merchants can also automatically convert up to 50% of their daily sales revenue into Bitcoin.
The expansion makes Bitcoin acceptance a default feature for eligible Square businesses, potentially bringing Lightning payments to millions of storefronts without requiring new hardware.

The late, great Congressman John Lewis in 2018:
“And when the state of Georgia becomes blue, along with the state of Texas, they will not be able to hold us down. It’s gonna happen.”

Hey @60Minutes, Trump just said he’s the only president who hasn’t taken his salary. JFK gave every penny of his salary to groups such as the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, and the United Negro College Fund. He did the same thing with his House and Senate salaries.

A national post-mortem on the Latino vote will be taking place tomorrow at UC Irvine from the people who made it happen.
Check out this lineup from top campaigns in the country: Talarico, Hinojosa, Bobby Pulido, Randy Villegas, TX, CA & congressional races all over the country: @ChuckRocha @jennymedina @mikehtrujillo @Rosalina_PAG @luisalcaute
I have no idea who any of these people are, maybe they are cousins of mine or elder Tio’s. 🤷🏽♂️
But @EJMontemayor91 and I have been promised food and 3 diet cokes if we show up tomorrow and talk about the Latino Vote in California and Los Angeles.

Even when the reframing has started, the truth can’t stay hidden for long.
Thank you @NedraTawwab
