This is insane.
“It won’t interfere with the current building. It’ll be near it but not touching it — and pays total respect to the existing building, which I’m the biggest fan of," Trump said in July. “It’s my favorite. It’s my favorite place. I love it.”

This was always the plan.
Project 2025 was Donald Trump's blueprint to seize unchecked power within the federal government and restrict Americans' freedoms. And he is implementing it right in front of our eyes.

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it?

Every single one of these clips was taken today in downtown Portland. Portland doesn’t want or need a federal takeover. If Trump insists on sending federal “resources” he can start with funding health care, bridges, affordable housing, and wildfire protection to name a few.

Another take from the VA and the veterans that need care.
At anytime in the last 22 years the VA & DoD could have provided the care we as veterans need.
Instead they’ve kicked the can repeatedly down the road.
