This EO is clearly unconstitutional, as EOs only exist to direct the executive branch how to implement legislation.
There is no legislation that I’m aware of that mandates any sort of review of Smithsonian exhibits.
Also, this is encroaching authoritarianism.

Lovely bread recipe! Perfect with my chicken stew. Hardest part was forming the sticky dough into a ball because my dumb ass forgot to treat my hands beforehand so it’s not as elegant as it deserves. 🤦♀️😂
Leftovers will be warmed up with butter and jam in the morning. 😋
Making the soup soon!

Utterly ridiculous.

BBC were wrong to platform Mandleson given his support for Epstein. What’s particularly galling is Mandleson’s misuse of his gay identity to attempt to exonerate himself.
Mandleson offering a mealy mouthed apology for the fact we have a system that does not protect women is nauseating.
Peter, not all men abuse or harass women, but many men - including you - participate in protecting the system that does. That’s the problem here.
