Arriving at the church for first Eucharist this morning and glanced up through the churchyard to see this (almost) full Snow Moon shining through the trees, just before setting.

A blessing from St. Brigid on her feast day.

Tonight's full moon - some call it the Snow Moon - was almost the exact same size as the Balmoral Hotel clock from where I was standing.

There is no better place to be than Edinburgh to experience a full moon brightening the sky & enhancing the cityscape.

Quite the contrast:

In one part of the Epstein files, DOJ published unredacted nude images of women and potentially minors.

In another part, officials redacted President Trump’s face from a news image that was shared in a text exchange.

ICE is a lawless agency that needs a conservator to oversee its complete shutdown.

I don’t say this lightly.

I was involved in Trump’s first impeachment. Impeachment should be a last resort.

But what happened in Minneapolis demands action.

We can do this the easy way, by Trump firing Sec. Noem, or the hard way, with the impeachment.

But either way, it’s clear: Noem must go.

If she won’t resign and Trump won’t fire her, Congress must act.

It's time for Secretary Noem to go.

Kristi Noem has got to go. 

Weeks ago, I called on her to resign. And I’m an original co-sponsor of a resolution calling for her impeachment. Step down or get impeached—one way or another, we’re getting Kristi Noem out. Her cruelty must end.

The death of Alex Pretti at the hands of federal agents was barbaric, heartbreaking — and completely preventable. 
 
Those who took his life too soon must be held accountable and Secretary Noem must go.

ICE is terrorizing our communities.

Families are too afraid to worship, go to school, and leave their homes. That’s not public safety. It’s fear by design.

Kristi Noem needs to be impeached. ICE’s slush fund must be eliminated.

I will be voting NO on this funding deal. Here’s why:

ICE must no longer exist.

DHS needs to be completely restructured.

Noem needs to go.

I voted NO on advancing the funding package before the Senate. There must be real accountability at the Department of Homeland Security. Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller need to go.

DHS and ICE must be reined in.
