Hilarious. The WH had all the Cabinet members simultaneously put out statements supporting Susie Wiles after the Vanity Fair article came out.

This is what makes me crazy.
Just a reminder that at least 600 Americans were fired for failing to show sufficient respect after Charlie Kirk's murder.

Exactly the sort of tyrannical behavior that the Constitution was written to prevent. See the Fourth Amendment in particular.
Armed ICE agents trapped US citizens in a restaurant and demanded their papers. Federal agents walked into East African restaurants in Cedar-Riverside, MN. They closed and blocked the doors. Then they demanded to see everyone’s papers. Every person present was a US citizen.

This lawless abuse needs to stop. That includes Congress demanding the end to masked agents. Every Republican is complicit.
Masked men wearing ICE vests—but who refused to present a warrant or identify themselves—roped off a construction site, trapping two men on a roof for hours in subzero temps. Protesters gathered. Masked men eventually left, and one man on the roof was taken away by ambulance kstp.com/kstp-news/to...

Deadnaming a former Assistant Secretary of HHS and selfless public servant on her official portrait is an act of cruelty and a clear violation of basic dignity.

Admiral Levine served this country honorably. Targeting her, and all trans Americans, is bigoted, cruel, and completely unacceptable.

These losers.

They don't actually care what the public wants, they just know they've created an electoral mess for themselves in 2026. So, they'll repeal to dodge accountability, but their union-busting bill will return.
GOP leaders have been in talks with labor unions to put a repeal of HB267, the so-called "union busting" bill, on the agenda for Tuesday's special session.

With a referendum looming in 2026, Republicans fear backlash if it stays on the ballot.
