F you, Donny. This isn’t your beloved Russia or China. We have the First Amendment in America—people can protest and say whatever they want. If someone commits violence, they should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Tip from @snowjob.bsky.social

If you have a whitehouse.gov link you want to access and it is down, try replacing "www.whitehouse.gov" with "bidenwhitehouse.archives.gov"

The national archives is still doing its job for now.

Kailee Buller was just appointed as Chief of Staff of the USDA.
