A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to restore a slavery-related exhibit at George Washington's former home in Philadelphia.
Judge Cynthia Rufe cited George Orwell's novel "1984," arguing the administration does not have the power to, in her words, "disassemble historical truths."

This baby was in prison where he got bronchiolitis (being reported as bronchitis, I promise it’s bronchiolitis), a life threatening condition in babies caused by respiratory viral infections that inflame and narrow their tiny airways and makes it hard for them to breathe. Now he’s sick and deported.

The world's richest man is broadcasting eliminationist rhetoric about a tiny, vulnerable minority, and virtually no one is going to treat it as a scandal. It's just normal now.

This quote by Thomas Massie will stick: "This is the Epstein administration."
Massie on ABC just now: “Donald Trump told us that even though he had dinner with these people in NYC and West Palm Beach, that he would be transparent. But he’s not. He’s still in with the Epstein class. This is the Epstein administration.”
