The reason Trump wants a new ballroom is because "I Pray Heaven To Bestow The Best Of Blessings On This House And All that shall hereafter Inhabit it. May none but Honest and Wise Men ever rule under This Roof" is carved into the fireplace in the state dining room. From John Adams, inscribed 1945.

These agents are dressed exactly like the militia-type extremists I’ve covered over the years. Allowing them to operate like this gives the green light to anyone with a mask, a carrier vest & patch, handcuffs or a gun (all easy to get) to impersonate LE and do whatever they want.

This is brutal. India says Trump is lying about a trade deal and says he also lied about brokering a peace deal between India and Pakistan. We are a joke around the world. bsky.app/profile/meid...
Holy shit. India’s Foreign Secretary just shut down Trump’s claim he brokered peace between India and Pakistan. Modi told him: “There was never any discussion… about a trade deal or U.S. mediation… India has neither accepted mediation, nor does it do so—and never will.”

It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

“When we began, there was a silence in Texas about racism, poverty and corporate power. ... we ranked dead last among the major states and next-to-last in the South in education, health care and programs for the poor. … We were Texas, a backwater braggish & bigoted & brutal, slow & rich & poor.”

MORAN: What does it (the Declaration of Independence) mean to you?
TRUMP: It means exactly what it says; it's a declaration of unity, love and respect and it means a lot. It's something very special to our country.

THREAD: The Trump administration's DOJ has removed a study from the NIJ website that found that immigrants, and particularly undocumented immigrants, commit crimes at significantly lower rates than U.S. citizens.
The study is at odds with the Trump regime's propaganda about immigrants & crime. (1)

Insight: How the Trump family took over a crypto firm as it raised hundreds of millions
As World Liberty Financial raised more than half a billion dollars, President Donald Trump’s family took control of the crypto venture and grabbed the lion’s share of those funds, aided by governance terms that industry experts say favor insiders.
