already commented on this. But I think this may literally be the dumbest comment of the second Trump administration so far.
Reporter: The president fired the Librarian of Congress. Why?
Leavitt: There were quite concerning things she had done at the Library of Congress in the pursuit of DEI and putting inappropriate books in the library for children.

It’s interesting that secret service told reporters the guy who stole Noem’s purse what a white male, then they wait a week and DHS says it was an undocumented migrant but refuses to give any other details.

Stephen A. Smith on Trump seeking 3rd term: "If any Republican supports that I don't want to hear a word out of their mouth ever again about following the Constitution. That's what they've been living off for years. Then you're talking about circumventing the 22nd Amendment & you think that's cool?"

The IRS agreed to share legally protected taxpayer information with DHS and ICE.
Federal law clearly protects taxpayer privacy. This agreement is illegal.
