Pope Leo names priest who criticized Trump's immigration crackdown as West Virginia bishop
The next bishop for West Virginia Catholics will be an El Salvador-born advocate for immigrants who has opposed U.S. President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown policies. Pope Leo XIV announced Friday the appointment of the Most Rev. Evelio Menjivar-Ayala, an auxiliary bishop in Washington, D.C., as the new leader of the Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston, which comprises West Virginia, one of the nation's least racially diverse states. The Catholic Church has long advocated for humane treatment of migrants and refugees in the United States and around the world. Menjivar-Ayala and other U.S. church leaders have strongly condemned the Trump administration's mass deportation policies while also affirming a nation's right to control its borders and urging reconciliation.
VIDEO OF THE DAY: Must-see Supreme Court update rocks midterm election
Brian Tyler Cohen sits down with Ari Berman, the national voting correspondent for Mother Jones, to discuss the Supreme Court's shocking decision to gut Section II of the Voting Rights Act and open the door for Republicans to strip Black voters of their voting power. His verdict? "It's an emergency for democracy."

Republicans RUSH to strip voting power away from Black communities in wake of disastrous Supreme Court decision
Stand Up America: The right-wing Supreme Court Justices just gutted Section II of the Voting Rights Act, opening the door for Republican legislatures across the South to completely redraw their maps and disenfranchise their Black populations – and they’ve made it clear they are eager to do so. Louisiana has already taken the unprecedented step of canceling their primary elections to redraw their maps, and other states are sure to follow soon. We cannot allow Republicans to drag us back to the bad old days of Jim Crow. Follow the link to tell Congress to fix the Supreme Court by passing REAL reforms and end the GOP’s stranglehold of extremism!
Trump bulldozed a 1,000-year-old archeological site to make room for a second border wall
A rare archaeological site in the Sonoran Desert was bulldozed by a Department of Homeland Security contractor involved in building the latest sections of Donald Trump’s border wall, according to multiple sources briefed on the incident. The area, in a remote corner of Arizona’s Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge, is a roughly 280-by-50-foot etching in the desert sand known as an intaglio. Last Thursday, without any notice, a contractor working for DHS cut a roughly 60-foot swath across the middle of the intaglio, doing irreparable damage to the 1,000-year-old artifact.
Cabeza Prieta, one of the largest wilderness areas outside of Alaska, also encompasses lands sacred to the Tohono O’odham Nation, which borders the refuge to the east. The O’odham have fought to prevent border wall construction across their reservation and during Trump’s first term largely prevailed; they also managed to protect the intaglio and a nearby burial site that they consider to be part of their ancestral lands. “I liken it to destroying the Nazca lines — something that culturally we should have been relishing and promoting. Not destroying,” Rick Martynec, an archaeologist, said in a phone interview, referring to the hundreds of figures drawn into the deserts of southern Peru.

Pentagon strikes deals with 7 Big Tech companies after shunning Anthropic
The Department of Defense announced Friday an agreement with seven major technology companies to use their artificial intelligence tools in its classified networks. Not included: Anthropic, which the Trump administration has blacklisted over Anthropic’s insistence that the Pentagon include certain safety guardrails for the government’s use of AI in warfare. But the White House reopened discussions with Anthropic in recent weeks after the company made significant announcements about several technology breakthroughs.
The companies involved in the deal: Elon Musk’s SpaceX, ChatGPT-maker OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, Nvidia, Amazon Web Services and Reflection. The Pentagon has existing AI contracts with several companies, including Palantir and OpenAI. Signing so many of Anthropic’s competitors could give the Trump administration some leverage.

Rats infest Gaza's tent camps, biting children and spreading disease
Rats and parasites are spreading through Gaza's tent camps for displaced Palestinians, biting children's fingers and toes as they sleep, gnawing through people's few remaining treasured possessions, and spreading disease. The outbreak is unfolding as most of Gaza's more than 2 million people have been displaced, many now living in bombed-out homes and makeshift tents pitched on open ground, roadsides, or atop the ruins of destroyed buildings. Just days before her wedding day, Amani Abu Selmi, displaced with her family in Khan Younis in the south, discovered that rats had gnawed through the garments and bags of her wedding trousseau inside the tattered tent where they have been sheltering.
A rat bit the hand and toes of Khalil Al-Mashharawi's 3-year-old son several weeks ago, he said. Last Friday, he himself was bitten. He said he and his wife now sleep in shifts to protect their children and one another from an infestation they are unable to control or defend themselves against, with rodent traps largely ineffective in Gaza's ruined homes and tent encampments. Mohamed Abu Selmia, head of Gaza's largest hospital, Al-Shifa, said he expects the problem to worsen as summer approaches and amid an Israeli ban on pest control materials such as rat poison. There is also widespread fear about the spread of dangerous diseases, including rat-bite fever, leptospirosis, and even plague, he said.
