So they're openly admitting that the military occupation of Los Angeles is meant to eliminate its political leadership who disagrees with the regime?
Kristi Noem: "We are not going away. We are staying here to liberate the city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into the city."

And there was tremendous redundancies. For example, we had over a hundred communications departments. We had 40 procurement departments. We had dozens of IT departments and dozens of HR departments. Most of the cuts are to those administrative sections, which are now consolidating or eliminating the redundancies. We're streamlining the agencies.

One nice thing about being a free person, or the operator of a free press, is you don’t have to consult—much less “obey”—a goddam book of presidential proclamations to learn what words, geographic or otherwise, are permissible to use. Any government encroachment on that freedom ought to be fought.
The White House said it will bar the Associated Press from future events in the Oval Office and Air Force One, over the AP's refusal to obey Trump's executive order renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America.

The SAVE Act is systemic misogyny. It would disenfranchise tens of millions of women--those who changed their name after marriage but don't have either a birth certificate or a passport with their new legal name.
The House of Representatives is considering a bill that will lead to voter purges and widespread disenfranchisement of eligible voters.
The SAVE Act stems from baseless claims of voter fraud and is part of a strategic, well-financed effort to suppress voting.
