Judge Orders ICE to Let Clergy Give Communion to Detained Migrants on Ash Wednesday
Enraging that this took a court order:
"Catholic nuns and clergy had visited the facility for years, offering prayer services and holy communion to detainees during visitor hours.
Trump Administration immigration authorities rolled back that access in September..."

Rep Raskin reports he reviewed the full unredacted Epstein Files & Trump's name appears MORE THAN A MILLION TIMES.
We knew of 38K timesβmeaning we know of only ~3% of Trump's involvement with a convicted child sexual abuser & sex trafficker.
Anyone still unwilling to impeach & remove is complicit.

Some real winners out thereπ. At least he apologized, I guess? I once knew a guy who was great on paper, was handsome, seemed kind. We went on 1 date, but talked on the phone often. He asked if he could send a "good night" photo. I said, "As long as it doesn't rhyme w/ 'poor nick'." Alas, it did

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.
He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. Heβs referenced 38,000 times.
