In the last 24 hours she has put out 18 different videos of herself. In most of them she’s in her pajamas in public places, except for one when she’s in body armor. I think it was 4 different outfits total.

I want to reiterate that countless conservative judges issued universal injunctions against the Biden administration, and the Supreme Court never halted the practice. Now, barely five months into Trump's second term, the court puts an end to these injunctions. A brazen double standard.
