Pope Francis Slams Trump On Deportations, Tom Homan Responds, And AP Deadnames Gulf of America Feb 12, 2025

Show notes

Pope Francis wrote a letter to the USCCB. What did the Pope say, does he accurately describe the situation, and how should we respond? Judges are blocking Trump’s actions – is it legal? Finally, a new spiritual anti-DOGE song hits the streets – it’s kind of a bop?
