I don't think that a president needs – that's 78 years old – needs to have 30 gold tchotchkes. I think they can have three tchotchkes or four tchotchkes
First he added gold knick knacks.
Then it was paintings with gilded frames.
Then appliqués below the crown molding and then on the wainscoting.
Then the doorframe got gold trim.
And now it looks like this.

The Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 created the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. I reread it today; nothing in the law allows a president to defund PBS and NPR. In fact, Congress specifically sought to insulate public media from political pressure.

As part of their plan to GUT the science mission at NASA, Trump and Musk want to cancel the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope — a critical project that is on time, under budget, and nearly finished.
They want to flush those taxpayer dollars down the drain. How is THAT efficient?

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.
