shocked to learn that the president lied about this and also this is a horrible defacing of a building that belongs to the people of the United States, not donald trump
Scoop: Trump has started demolishing the White House's East Wing facade to build his ballroom. The president had claimed construction of the $250 million building wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure. /W @ddiamond.bsky.social wapo.st/4hqBNiU

Two little devils have appeared!
21. Yes! If I sit in a certain chair my tuxedo drops whatever she is doing and sprints to my lap for pets, and I have been sitting there a little more frequently because of this.

Shoutout to whoever was like the news sucks, let’s spice it up by doing a jewel heist at the Louvre
The Ocean's movies are so cool witht the intricate planning and coordination of a face, a contortionist, munitions expert, security specialist hacker, etc and in real life they just throw a ladder up against a window in broad daylight and move quickly. Its why I'll forever be enamored by fiction.
"Nuñez said the robbers used a basket lift mounted on a truck to reach the window and later tried to set it on fire as they fled. He described the suspects as "a very experienced team that acted extremely quickly," adding that all central police units in Paris have been mobilized to track them down"
Masked thieves steal 'priceless' jewels from the Louvre Museum
French Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez called the heist "a major, highly organized operation" that lasted just seven minutes. Authorities were still drawing up the value of the stolen items.

Of all the photos and videos on social media, the ones showing massive crowds, hundreds of thousands of people in NYC, Boston, LA, DC, etc. … it’s this photo of little Highlands NC that does it for me.

It's incredibly telling that student newsrooms have shown more bravery in the past few years than many national outlets
Purdue to the rescue of IU student newspaper, whose institution was attempting censorship. Details in alt!
Uriah Kitchen of Delaware, who attended the protest with his son Elijah, told NPR "we made a pledge of allegiance when we were in school and this is what it's all about."

"This is why we're here, we're here to protect America," Kitchen said.
3 takeaways from the second No Kings day of nationwide protests
