Trump doesn't seem to see that some people are still immune to his threats.
Jack White criticized Trump's Oval Office decor. The White House then called White a "washed-up, has-been loser... masquerading as a real artist." And White, undeterred, posted an absolutely blistering takedown in response.

Jefferson Davis and Robert E. Lee spent four years and hundreds of thousands of lives trying to occupy Washington, DC. MAGA accomplished it without firing a shot.
South Carolina was the first state to secede. If South Carolina troops are the first in DC, let that symbolism not be lost on anyone.

ABC News has cut ties with its senior national correspondent Terry Moran after he posted that Stephen Miller is a “world-class hater” who “eats his hate.”
Kudos to Moran for having the courage to speak the truth — and screw ABC News for not standing behind him and backing his right to free speech.

Immigrants are being arrested at courthouses — after attending their own immigration hearings.
DHS lawyers found a loophole, ICE is exploiting it, and people seeking asylum are being swept up in a quiet but deliberate shift in enforcement.

Unreal: To sustain his lie about a "genocide" of "white farmers" while meeting with the South African president, Trump used a photo of war deaths in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Trump’s Lie about Dead “White Farmers” Just Got Even More Grotesque
That photo he brandished to Cyril Ramaphosa was from the Democratic Republic of Congo—whose refugees the Trump administration is pointedly not welcoming to America.
