May 22nd is the National Day of Prayer and Remembrance for Mariners and Seafarers. Bishop Brendan Cahill discusses the ministry of the church to seafarers through the work of Stella Maris. The day is intended to remember the men and women seafarers. Many seafarers are Catholic Christians and largely a migrant population in the world. Because of the nature of their work, they are not always a visible community presence. In over 50 ports, there are more than 100 Stella Maris chaplains, maritime deacons, and lay ecclesial ministers who minister to seafarers. They welcome, network, and reach out to seafarers, fishermen and women, their families, and all who work or travel on the seas. Through the celebration of the Eucharist and the Word of God, the chaplaincy team helps seafarers discover the loving presence of God in an often-challenging world. Their continued presence is a clear indication of their dedication to this vital pastoral ministry and love for the people of the sea. https://www.usccb.org/committees/pastoral-care-migrants-refugees-travelers/stella-maris-who-we-are On Wednesday, May 10, a panel of advisors to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) voted unanimously to make the birth-control drug, Opill, available to consumers over-the-counter in the United States. The FDA is reportedly poised to make a final decision this summer. In response to the FDA panel's recommendation, Bishop Robert E. Barron of Winona-Rochester, and chairman of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' (USCCB) Committee on Laity, Marriage, Family Life and Youth, urged the government agency to reject this advice as “not good medicine” and continue their efforts to protect women's health. Read the full statement. https://www.usccb.org/news/2023/fda-acknowledges-harm-oral-contraceptives-while-its-own-panel-advisors-push-make-drug After literally hundreds of public prayers for peace in Ukraine and 443 days after Russia launched an all-out war on the Eastern European country, Pope Francis welcomed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to the Vatican.

This is spiralling out of control... In recent days, we've seen tensions in Eastern Europe take an unexpected turn. The attack on a key pipeline seems to have been just the opening move in what some are calling a dangerous escalation. We're also seeing Ukrainian President Zelensky making some bold demands—like a perpetual billion-dollar commitment from NATO countries. He wants us to send him 1 billion dollars in perpetuity. He's also stepping back from previously discussed land concessions that were supposed to be a cornerstone of the peace talks.

In this lively episode of Mark and Pete, the duo tackle three curious tales from the worlds of culture, politics, and everyday life. First up: the passing of Ronnie Rondell Jnr, the Hollywood stuntman who made others famous while remaining largely unknown. From being set alight on the cover of Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here to crashing through scenes in Batman and Robin and The Mighty Ducks, his life sparks reflection on the unsung heroes who risk everything but rarely get the applause. Next, the Tesco Meal Deal — a staple of students and low-income workers alike — has crept up in price once again. That 25p rise may sound small, but it's a big bite out of already-stretched budgets. Mark and Pete chew over what this means for ordinary folk, and whether it's time to rediscover thriftier ways of feeding body and soul. Finally, we turn to the world of politics and pixels: Emmanuel Macron, Keir Starmer, and Volodymyr Zelensky appeared in a viral “Oval Office” photo looking like schoolboys in trouble — until the phantom foot gave away its AI origins. What happens when fake images shape real perceptions?

Spreag an ráiteas san imní i measc ceannairí Eorpacha agus go háirithe san Úcráin, ar eagla go mbeadh orthu talamh sa Donbas a ghéilleadh don Rúis. Chuaigh Uachtarán na hÚcráine Volodymyr Zelensky agus roinnt ceannairí Eorpacha go dtí an Teach Bán Dé Luain chun an plean a phlé le Trump. Dúirt Trump go bhfuil sé ag iarraidh cruinniú mullaigh a shocrú anois idir Zelensky agus Putin ach níl aon rud beartaithe go fóill.Tá fórsaí míleata Iosrael tar éis 60,000 saighdiúir cúltaca a ghairm chun seirbhíse agus iad ag tosnú le hionsaí nua ar Chathair Gaza in ainneoin an cháinte idirnáisiúnta. Maíonn na hIosraelaigh go bhfuil siad ag iarraidh deireadh a chur le Hamas leis an ionsaí so ach tá eagraíochtaí daonnúla ag tabhairt rabhadh go bhfuil ar Phalaistínigh teitheadh ón gcathair agus go bhfuil sé mar sprioc ag na hIosraelaigh an chathair a bhánú. Tá forghabháil Iosrael, agus aon mhéadú sna hionsaithe, mídhleathach de réir an dlí idirnáisiúnta. Cháin Ard-Rúnaí na Náisiún Aontaithe, Antonio Guterres, na forbairtí is déanaí agus d'impigh sé ar Iosrael agus Hamas teacht ar sos comhraic. Mhol sé d'Iosrael na forbairtí lonnaíochta nua sa Bhruach Thiar a stopadh chomh maith. Scoiltfeadh an lonnaíocht mhídhleathach seo an Bruach Thiar ó Iarúsailéim Thoir agus bheadh sé ana-dheacair réiteach dhá stát a fháil dá bharr.

On Tuesday, the Department of Justice announced it's launching a much-needed and super important investigation into Washington D.C.'s crime statistics. The DOJ said it's looking into whether the stats have been QUOTE: "manipulated" to make the crime rate seem lower. Why, might you ask, is the DOJ using time, money, and resources to look into this? Probably because it's searching for a way to justify President Donald Trump's takeover of the Metropolitan Police Department and deployment of National Guard troops to the district. However, it has been roughly two weeks since Trump's takeover, and we have some questions. Is DC's crime problem really that bad? And is it better now after federal intervention? We spoke with journalist Josh Barro. He's also co-host of the podcast "Serious Trouble".And in headlines, the Trump administration decides it doesn't want feedback from its federal employees, the White House says arrangements for a meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Russian President Putin are underway, and Oklahoma is making sure teachers from California and New York aren't "woke".Show Notes:Check out Josh's post – https://tinyurl.com/2rrxxrsfCall Congress – 202-224-3121Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

This week, Scott sat down with his colleagues Anna Bower, Chris Mirasola, and Mykhailo Soldatenko to talk through the week's big national security news, including:“Wings and a Prayer.” The Ukraine conflict has been the subject of intense shuttle diplomacy over the past week, as President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin flew to a meeting in Alaska last Friday, only for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and a cadre of European leaders to fly to Washington, DC, to meet with Trump yesterday at the White House. What do we know about their conversations? And could this be a turning point in the conflict?“Capital Offense.” It's been more than a week since President Trump chose to make law enforcement in Washington, DC—a city he has derided as “taken over by violent gangs and bloodthirsty criminals”—a national priority, by deploying hundreds of National Guard personnel and federal law enforcement officers to the streets and seeking to assert federal control over the police department, in ways that triggered a legal challenge by the city. What is motivating this major policy effort? And where does it seem likely to lead?“The Ep Files: I Want to Believe.” The Trump administration is reportedly installing a new “co-”deputy director at the FBI, in part because of controversy the current incumbent—former right-wing radio host Dan Bongino—has courted relating to the release of the so-called “Epstein Files.” And it's indicative of the major problems that these files—and the potential that they may say something about President Trump's relationship with the notorious sex offender for whom they are named—are causing President Trump and his administration.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky recently visited Washington, where he surprised many by wearing a suit instead of his usual military-style clothing while meeting with Donald Trump and Trump reportedly praised the wardrobe change. In this video Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger mock Zelensky as desperate for support amid Ukraine's difficult war situation. They highlight Zelensky's statements to European allies about sanctions, peace talks, and the need for security guarantees, but argue that his demands are unrealistic considering that the war is essentially lost. The segment concludes that Zelensky's political survival may be tied to prolonging the conflict, even as Europe and the U.S. appear divided on how to move forward. Plus segments on MSNBC's desperate rebrand as “MS NOW,” HHS Director Robert F. Kennedy deleting a tweet promoting a new universal vaccine, and millions of Israelis pouring into the streets to protest the ongoing war on Gaza. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Ryan Cristián!

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, WMAL's Larry O'Connor fills in for Mark. Marco Rubio's State Department has reduced the number of student visas by over 6,000 following an executive order issued in January that mandated a review for potential security risks. This visa enforcement is among the most prominent immigration measures keeping education safe from foreign threats and influences. Also, President Trump declared that he will lead a movement aimed at abolishing mail-in voting and electronic voting machines ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, which was very overdue. He announced plans to sign an executive order, and he will succeed in ending the ballot corruption, once and for all. In addition, NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte said that Russian President Vladimir Putin has agreed to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. This occurred during a phone call between Putin and President Trump right in the middle of a big meeting at the White House with Trump, Zelensky, and top European leaders. Trump told French President Emmanuel Macron, that he thinks Valdimir Putin wants to make a deal with him.

The conversation surrounding artificial intelligence in the US is hard to avoid right now. Powerful companies like Nvidia are making AI chips, doctors are using AI to revolutionize and enhance healthcare, and companies like Waymo have implemented the technology in self-driving cars. But even with all these advances, concerns continue to grow over how children are using AI. Reports about chatbots engaging children in "sensual" conversations have led to amplified concerns. However, others have found that students and teachers alike are using AI to complete schoolwork and create class assignments.
