Trump tearing down the White House is a disturbing image that goes beyond just construction and architecture.
Interesting read about a reporter’s Signal thread with the new US Attorney Trump appointed to prosecute Jim Comey and Leticia James. Note that she has no prosecutorial experience, only having been Trump’s personal attorney.

Thank God they are this incompetent or our democracy would be long gone.

Lindsey Halligan has a broadcast journalism degree from Regis University in Denver. I am confident they covered how "off the record" works.
EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

(3) In my mind’s eye, I imagine Maxwell beside him, as always. A molester with posh manners and an aristocratic pedigree, “G-Max,” as she called herself, played den mother to Epstein’s dysfunctional family of underage girls.
(2) Now I am a thirty-seven-year-old wife and mother—a full-fledged adult—and it’s been two years since Epstein died in jail. Still, I can practically see him standing next to me, admiring the tapestry, whose dark palette he was determined to mimic in the decor of his opulent Manhattan townhouse.
“The room I am in is painted bloodred and is dominated by a huge tapestry: a depiction of Louis XIV’s garish bed chamber. In 2001, when Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell took the teenage me into this room for the first time, they had been sexually abusing and trafficking me for months.

Here is an original resistance song and video from a friend! Enjoy and share!
Here is a thoughtful piece about the underlying issue with our current immigration raids, and what we are getting right and wrong in our discussions on it. Trigger warning; it references a Christian worldview.
What Does it Profit a Nation to Deport Immigrants & Lose Its Soul?
Immigration enforcement isn’t the problem. Dehumanization and injustice are.

The 3 shutdown strategies of Mike Johnson:

1. Label many millions of peaceful protesters domestic terrorists who hate America.

2. Keep Republican Reps home.

3. Refuse to seat a swing-state, latino-American member, which also highlights his Epstein obstruction.

Pure genius.

A formal organization chart of the Trump regime would show Trump on top, his Cabinet officers underneath him, the White House staff below them, and various appointees at the bottom. The reality is far different. Let me explain...

Karoline Leavitt learned nothing from the Kirk incident

She claimed the Democratic Party is made up of Terrorist, illegal immigrants and Hamas

It’s that kind of language that gets you some nutjob going off the ledge

Your JOB is to inform us of what the Government is doing, not inflame tensions!
