"federal funding to Catholic Charities in south Texas ..." ?!
What has happened to Church / State separation ? Could be trouble if south Texas ever joins the union, right?

I would like the whole story on Russian / Putin involvement.
Meanwhile, "drops lawsuit"?
- Because it's a political hot potato? Too hot to handle?
- Not worth the bother?
- other ?

If this were to go to court any number of people will be subpoenaed to testify under oath. I rather doubt that they want that to happen.

Lieu Holds Up $6.2 Billion Wire To Cayman Islands — Miller Refuses To Say WHO Got It

The screen went black for three seconds. Then Stephen Miller's own voice filled the chamber: "I have never instructed anyone to alter border statistics. That has never happened. Not once. Not ever."

Congressman Ted Lieu let it play. Then he froze the frame. Then he said four words that made the room explode: "Let me show you."

What followed was not a leaked clip. Not anonymous footage. It was an official DHS internal meeting video. With timestamps. With metadata. With Stephen Miller's face in crystal clear resolution doing exactly what he just told America never happened.

This is the full breakdown of the hearing that just sent a senior DHS official to the DOJ for criminal investigation.

Yesterday, President #Trump posted an AI-generated image depicting himself as Jesus.

With religious and nonreligious Americans both rightfully outraged, our common thread is this: presidents depicting themselves as religious figures has no place in our secular democracy

And the Pope is too nice to tell JD what he should do to himself.
