Welp. It’s no longer a figurative statement. He is literally tearing down the WH.

Adding this to the already long list of sickening things he’s done.

East wing of the WH being demolished.

NBC just gutted the very teams that gave marginalized voices a seat at the table—then called it “restructuring.”

The cuts:

📌NBC BLK (Black community coverage)

📌NBC Latino (Latino community coverage)

📌NBC Asian America (Asian American community coverage)

📌NBC Out (LGBTQ+ community coverage)

This idiot keeps bragging about the 20 hostages being released in another country while he's kidnapping thousands of people a day here in America.

Fuck him and the fascism he rode in on.

Shapiro: I filed that amicus brief last night to make it very clear that the Pennsylvania National Guard is under my command.

The way the President has chosen to deploy the Guard in other states—and, in at least one case, deploy the Guard from one state into another—is extremely dangerous.
