Tip from @snowjob.bsky.social
If you have a whitehouse.gov link you want to access and it is down, try replacing "www.whitehouse.gov" with "bidenwhitehouse.archives.gov"
The national archives is still doing its job for now.

I remember when Michelle gave Barack a fist bump, and the media pretended to humor the "Is it a terrorist fist bump?" right-wing narrative.
Now, they're trying to convince us we didn't see the world's richest man give a Nazi salute.
