Sunday is the feast of St. Theresa Benedicta of the Cross (Edith Stein), the Patroness of Europe. She offered her life and her martyrdom at Auschwitz for the sake of the suffering Jewish people and for the peace of the world.  ow.ly/lqNA30r3pUU

As Congresswoman Jaime Herrera Beutler attempts to hold onto her seat, she is in for what's being described as the "fight of her political life." This must be why she's decided to run to the hard right and endorse President Trump for reelection. #WA03

"My faith teaches me to love my neighbor as I would myself, while President Trump only seeks to divide us. My faith teaches me to care for the least among us, while President Trump seems to only be concerned about his gilded friends...." @JoeBiden medium.com/@JoeBiden/my-stat…

Mr. Biden gave an interview to @americamag in which he discussed Pope Francis and his faith in depth. “I’m a practicing Catholic. I believe faith is a gift. And the first obligation we all have is, ‘Love your God,’ the second one is, ‘Love your neighbor.’” americamagazine.org/politics…

As we continue to celebrate the legacy of Padre Eusebio Kino, SJ — he was declared venerable by Pope Francis last month — learn more about the works being done in his name, such as @KinoBorder, which serves migrants on the US-Mexico border: ow.ly/B1KF50ASI3O

There are a lot of good people out there who have voted Republican in the past, and to them I say, there's a home for you in the Democratic Party. We are people of faith as well as skeptics, people with management experience as well as labor. Together let's put country first.
What's left of moderate wing of GOP is failing to advance in gubernatorial race and in A.G. race. Instead candidates are solid pro Trump (Culp/Larkin) To say nothing GOP shutout in 10th CD and Lt. Gov race. #waelex

So proud of my friend @TarraSimmons5 who continues to inspire!
Tonight my district sent a clear message. They are ready to elect the first formerly incarcerated legislator. We won the primary in a landslide. So many thanks for all of our supporters! kitsapsun.com/story/news/202…

Favorite Sheen quote: “I had a fellow scream at me at a demonstration recently, 'Mr. Sheen, are you a Communist?' I said, 'Oh, no, no, no. I'm far worse than a Communist. I'm a Catholic.’” Happy 80th, Martin Sheen!
Martin Sheen has been arrested more than 60 times for acts of civil disobedience. Happy 80th to a real one.
