NEW: The Trump-Vance White House has falsely accused an ally of Pope Leo — Sr. Norma Pimentel — of illegal activity tied to migrant aid, and cut off all federal funding to Catholic Charities in Texas.

Church leaders say it’s a targeted, political reprisal against Pope Leo and the Catholic Church.

Trump-Vance White House Targets Beloved Nun in Texas, Retaliates Against Catholic Charities

Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande Valley — praised by Pope Leo as an “agent of hope” — now faces a six-year federal funding ban. Church leaders say it’s a vendetta by the Trump-Vance White House.

Future history books will note the quest to repeal Obamacare is when the Republican Party became hell bent on destroying the country out of pure spite.

The horror of giving people access to healthcare, doctors & medicine is the stuff of GOP nightmares.

INDIANA is the "Don't push me around state", and just told Trump to stop pushing them around. But that's all that corrupt, Russian owned, criminal extortionist Trump EVER does. For Trump's entire life he's bullied and pushed people around with threats/slander, vexatious litigation, & financial ruin.
