VOA's headquarters, 'the Sistine Chapel of the New Deal,' faces possible destruction as part of the Trump administration's drive for "maximum value for the federal real estate footprint." wapo.st/4a5NCsq
The Nazis did the same thing. They stole what was valuable and they destroyed everything that was about their vanquished victims national heritage and culture.
This is about erasing everything from our past, there is no United States, there is only a bunch of victims, laborers, and enemies.

The ICE deaths we're not talking about
Trump's biggest concentration camp in Texas is rocked by 3 deaths in 33 days - one deemed 'homicide' after a violent encounter with guards. The ICE detention death rate is 10X (!!) Biden's final year

One of the reasons I am so insistent that everyone remember that only 22% of the US population voted for Trump is that the Christian Nationalists want the myth of a mandate in circulation.

After Kise’s intervention, DOJ took prison off the table. They abandoned the criminal charges.
They offered Ver a deal to go free if he paid $50m in taxes and fees–the same amount he allegedly owed 10+ years ago. Less than he recently paid for a luxury yacht.

These awards honor the best US civil servants. What ‘best’ means may be changing.
Organizations that bestow awards for good governance are adjusting to the Trump administration’s staff cuts and criticism of traditional civil servant values.

On Sunday, soldiers saw a man who had started a small fire threatening firefighters who tried to extinguish it. He also threw a can. The Guard did not stop this, but witnessed it.
