In his first major address since leaving office, Joe Biden took sharp aim at Donald Trump's Social Security policies, accusing the administration of trying to "wreck it so they could rob it."

Pope Leo XIV, formerly Robert Prevost, has sparked waves with his limited but telling 2025 social media posts. Before his election, he subtly criticized Vice President JD Vance, reposted content calling out Donald Trump's stance on immigration, and expressed support for Pope Francis' health. His posts reflect a compassionate stance on immigration, Dreamers, gun reform, and climate action-drawing cheers from liberals and concern from right-wing commentators. Though not prolific online, these posts provide a glimpse into the political leanings of the first American pope and what his leadership could signal for the global Church.
