Just wondering if there is another way of describing the actions of a leader in a constitutional democracy who disregards the courts, Congress, and the public?

Skepticism is in order here, given Trump’s long record of lying, the fact that he only announced this after the destruction was a fact accompli, and the fact that he has sought to project autocratic power ever since his return to the White House. What is the evidence of “further evaluation”?

It is shocking that Trump is quickly tearing down a portion of the White House. But isn’t the bigger story that this action is of a piece with his autocratic presumption that he can unilaterally destroy public goods without any public consultation or explanation?

Sourcing the dispute to Padilla even when the video proves Padilla is right is an explicit endorsement of the White House's credibility by a news organization
Sen. Alex Padilla disputed the White House’s account of the events surrounding his forcible removal from a news conference held by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem in Los Angeles.
Sen. Alex Padilla disputes Trump administration's account of his forcible removal at a DHS event
Padilla called the degree of force used by federal law enforcement agents "excessive" and warned similar force might be used during ongoing immigration raids.

It says a lot about where we’re at in this country that a beloved voice actor was murdered by his homophobic neighbor and every headline is still running passive defense for his killer, doing everything not to call this hate crime what it was. These are scary times. RIP to Jonathan Joss.

The chest x-ray use pioneered by Alan Hart continues to be extremely important in screening for tuberculosis. Although no one accomplishes anything in isolation, I'd argue that Hart has helped saved MILLIONS of lives because chest x-rays have been so essential in driving down rates of TB globally.
Remembering Dr. Alan Hart for Pride, trans man from the early 1900s. He revolutionized the detection of tuberculosis, saved thousands of lives, and died using his name, as the man he always was meant to be.
