One of the most fascinating parts of the Trump presidency: two of the biggest bulwarks against Trump's descent on American cities are largely women willing to photograph and film ICE agents and Catholic priests and bishops willing to accompany migrants to court. You see both in Chicago.

The Kremlin disguised a nearly $100 mn payment to Trump in the form of a brokered real estate deal... and both Jeffrey Epstein and William Pulte were involved in the deal. That's very interesting.

A very nice reminder that seems to be pointed directly at one JD Vance, alleged Catholic who does not love his neighbor as himself, doesn't suffer the little children, and is very actively bearing false witness against his [undocumented] neighbors at the moment.
"Someone who says 'I'm against abortion but says I am in favor of the death penalty' is not really pro-life. Someone who says that 'I'm against abortion, but I'm in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the [US],' I don't know if that's pro-life."

Pope Leo XIV says those against abortion but in favor of death penalty are "not really pro-life"
Pope Leo XIV has for the first time waded into an abortion dispute roiling the U.S. Catholic Church.
