The AP reports that Sarah Murnaghan will today receive a lung transplant at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. The announcement comes exactly one week after a federal judge intervened in her case, allowing Murnaghan's name to be added to the adult donor list. No word yet on the origin of the donated lungs beyond a statement Murnaghan's mom posted to Facebook: "[The donor's family] has experienced a tremendous loss, may God grant them a peace that surpasses understanding." She adds, joyously, "Today is the start of Sarah's new beginning and new life!" Read These Next Gavin Newsom has filed a massive lawsuit against Fox News. Trumps ends trade talks with Canada.
