President Donald Trump ordered that ‘improper, divisive or anti-American ideology’ be removed from the Smithsonian Institution, the vast museum and research complex that is a premier exhibition space for US history and culture reut.rs/43YvQEY
Trump orders elimination of 'anti-American ideology' from Smithsonian institutions
The order is vague but suggests Trump is seeking to purge elements of what conservatives view as a revisionist history of the US that places systemic racism at the heart of its narrative.

Details about a flight of immigrants that landed many days ago? Too secret to reveal.

Details about an imminent military strike? Not classified, not a breach of national security and not a big deal.

Secrets under Trump depend on who asks and who tells.

“Signalgate” is a total debacle. We deserve leaders who take their jobs seriously—especially when it comes to war and national security. If Trump’s blind apologists in Congress and at the DOJ won’t hold these people accountable, the American people will.
