The Trump administration has placed two top security chiefs at the U.S. Agency for International Development on leave after they resisted turning over classified material in restricted areas to Elon Musk’s staffers. America, please stand with us—we are fighting to defend this country!

My thoughts: I grew up in Germany and never understood why, as teenagers, we had to “tour” concentration camps that are left almost “as is” and write essays about it in school as it was a truly gruesome experience.
