Judge Rufe is fed up, and has reminded the Trump administration that "forthwith" means FORTHWITH. In other words, when she ordered them on Monday to restore all historical panels to the President's House site in Philadelphia, it better get done by Friday.

This is the interview Donald Trump didn’t want you to see.

His FCC refused to air my interview with Stephen Colbert.

Trump is worried we’re about to flip Texas.
