This scene of destruction was once the East Wing of the People's House in Washington, DC.

"It won't interfere with the current building. It won't be, it'll be, uh, uh, near it but not touching it. And pays total respect to the existing building which I'm the biggest fan of."

"Let’s be blunt: if this were any other president, there would be immediate outrage and calls for accountability. Instead, many are ready to shrug because it’s Trump. That double standard . . . . normalizes a presidency run for personal vendettas."

Visitors to Colorado historic sites urged to report β€œnegative” information about America, per order Signage seeking visitor feedback went up last week at the Amache and Sand Creek Massacre sites, prompting concern stories could be sanitized.

File under "Erase, Replace, our National Disgrace:"

New signage instructs National Park visitors that they are on land that "belongs to the American people" and to report any signs "that are negative about either past or living Americans."

Griffin concedes NC Supreme Court race, ending unprecedented effort to overturn election Griffin’s concession puts to bed a contentious and chaotic saga in NC politics, one that has raised substantial questions about democracy and may impact the state’s elections for years to come.

The last unsettled 2024 election race is finally settled, after a Trump-appointed judge scolded the Trumpublican candidate for attempting to disqualify eligible voters after their votes were cast.

After four months in session, Trumpublicans have shut down the Legislative Branch so successfully that only five Bills have passed, three of them Resolutions condemning Executive departments for doing their jobs in defiance of Herr Shitler, thus clearing the way for him to misrule by fiat.

Trump, asked if he has to 'uphold the Constitution,' says, 'I don't know' Trump said on NBC News’ β€œMeet the Press” that he’s following lawyers’ advice as he tries to execute rapid deportations, arguing that giving immigrants due process is time-consuming.

So the occupant of the White House has no idea what the Declaration of Independence says and no idea what is in the Constitution, and he doesn't know he swore an oath to uphold it. And 70 Million people don't give a shit, as long as they can buy cheaper eggs.

Mohsen Mahdawi β€” the Columbia student arrested at his citizenship appointment β€” speaks Speaking to NPR in his first media interview since his detention, lawful permanent U.S. resident Mohsen Mahdawi finds peace in meditation and hopes "America will fulfill its promise."

According to the State Dept. the mere presence of Palestinian persons in our midst "undermines US policy to combat antisemitism." To my mind this says nothing about the danger of Palestinians and everything about the danger of the current regime.

The world has a verdict on 100 days of Trump 2.0: Wow, what a loser His return to the global stage has been an extended, catastrophic self-own. Yeah, he's dangerous β€” but not serious

Trump thinks Putin is awesome, longs to be his friend, and aspires to his model of pseudo-democratic state capture. Putin . . . views Trump as an intermittently useful symbol (or symptom) of America’s global decline. He’s not wrong.

US Justice Department reassigns about a dozen civil rights attorneys amid shakeup, say sources The U.S. Justice Department is reassigning about a dozen senior career attorneys from its civil rights unit, four people familiar with the matter said on Tuesday, as President Donald Trump's administration steers the division away from its historic priorities.

""They are going to eliminate the Civil Rights Division as it was built to exist," one former department employee familiar with the changes told Reuters. "The only purpose now will be to victimize the very people it was created to protect."

The Shitler regime is bragging about the record low number of refugees crossing the southern border in the month of March. As if it's a great achievement that they transformed the US into an undesirable destination in the space of only 40 days.

John Roberts can't control the monster he made This is beyond a constitutional crisis because Roberts’ Supreme Court already granted Trump presidential immunity

"The . . . Constitution . . . in Article II, Section 3 . . . mandated that 'the president shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed.' This clause is violated each day when Donald Trump awakens and opens his eyes."

State tells employees to report on one another for β€˜anti-Christian bias’ β€œIt’s very β€˜Handmaid’s Tale’-esque,” one official said.

When the Founders began the First Amendment with "Congress shall make no laws . . ." they did not take into consideration the possibility that a Chief Executive might overturn the Constitutional order and commandeer Congress's sole authority with impunity.

NOAA Scientists Are Cleaning Bathrooms and Reconsidering Lab Experiments After Contracts for Basic Services Expire A Seattle lab has lost janitorial services, hazardous waste support, IT and building maintenance as it waits for the Commerce Department secretary to personally approve all contracts over $100,000.

"Some scientists have brought their own soap and cleaning supplies." These are PhD's of the highest regard in their respective fields, and they are human beings. Which is more than I am willing to assume about ...whatever... put them in their present predicament.

The SAVE Act: Overview and Facts The SAVE Act would require all Americans to prove their citizenship with documentation unavailable to millions and upend the way every American citizen registers to vote.

So here's a thought experiment:

As the linked article points out, the demographics most adversely affected by the bill are all heavily Republican. Should we lobby for the bill's passage, sweat it out until 11/26, then usher in a progressive landslide?
