It's driving me batty that nobody except Heather Cox Richardson, the Washington Monthly, and myself is covering Trump's race to sell off (for likely demolition) "the Sistine Chapel of the New Deal," w/ murals by Ben Shahn, Philip Guston, etc. I've furnish links below to help reporters get started.

If a temporary resident of the White House can totally demolish the East Wing to build a gaudy ballroom, without any authority, approval, or regulation, he can tear down the rest of the White House to build a Walmart. That this destruction is allowed underscores how off the rails our country is now.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.

This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.

All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

My God, people, protect your children from this trash propaganda, and fight your school districts if they try to force it on you.

Raise one holy hell of a ruckus and demand your child be protected from this.

A chatbot created by Elon Musk’s AI company launched into an antisemitic tirade Tuesday and invoked Adolf Hitler, days after Musk said that updates would reduce its reliance on mainstream media and train it on information that is “politically incorrect.”

No one read The Jungle in HS huh? When they say make America great again, they are talking about zero regulations, child labor, and no public education.
Trump's USDA will roll back safety regulations to “streamline” meat processing.

This will boost corporate profits at the expense of worker health and food safety.

Last year's listeria outbreak tied to Boar's Head killed 10 people.

We need more regulation, not less. Hello?
