The White House has put up barriers around the ballroom construction, and told government workers not to share photos without permission.

So if we’re taking our own pictures, they have to be from distance. (I say that as someone who has tried, too, and snapped this from the Washington Monument.)

Their closing message to Indiana: change your maps to artificially benefit the President's political party or 'roads will not be paved' as punishment.

They are openly saying this.

Who would want to live in a country that works like that?

Secretary Noem finally said the quiet part out loud: asylum seekers are here legally.

That admission means ICE is violating federal law under her direction as they ruthlessly assault and deport people with pending asylum cases.

ICE stormed a residence hall at Augsburg University, detained an undergrad, and aimed rifles at students and staff then admitted they had no warrant to be on campus.

The worst part about the boat strikes - regardless of who ordered what and besides the ultimate tragedy of lives lost - is they’re forever a stain on the dignity of the United States military.

That's why the military has the right to refuse illegal orders. Illegal orders could ruin the military.
