ICE agents in Queens, New York break down a bedroom door and point guns at a mother & her four US citizen children
They dragged the mother out by her hair while yelling at the kids to “put your hands up, stupid!”
This is tyranny
These kids are traumatized

President Gregory Washington has been an exemplary leader in the most difficult of times.
Disgraced Washington politicians like Jim Jordan can try to tear him down with Trumped up, bogus accusations, but our community knows the truth.

worth reiterating again that “the executive can raise and spend money however he likes” has been anathema even under monarchies for centuries

Odds are this aggressively did not happen. But it would of course be just as unconstitutional to spend money donated to the government without a duly enacted appropriation as it is to spend tax money that way.
Trump: "By the way, a friend of mine called us the other day and he said 'I'd like to contribute any shortfall you have because of the Democrat shutdown. I'd like to contribute any shortfall you have with the military.' Today, he sent us a check for $130 million. It's gonna go the military."

Happy birthday to my firstborn! Please tell your brother he’s being extra today and we’re not here for it
A very happy 17th Murfday to you and yours, and know that an occasionally ornery blind bichon is watching over you. Somehow.
Today, the little guy would've turned 16, first bday in absentia. Happy birthday, Murfdog, wherever you are.
