This is the same White House window in the video showing debris being tossed out of last year which Trump called fake. Also East Wing is visible pre-demolition. Ballroom construction can be supervised while sitting on toilet

I’m pretty sure the only time Kristi Noem has been on an 18 wheeler was as a silhouette on mudflaps.

The White House Historical Association knew of the East Wing demolition and has the nerve to send me a catalog of gilded trinkets and Christmas decorations to support their efforts.

Trump’s National Guard deployments raise worries about state sovereignty β€’ Stateline As President Donald Trump prepares to send out-of-state National Guard members to Chicago and in Portland, Oregon, other cities are bracing for the arrival of troops in anticipation that the deploymen...

Let's just be clear: He is violating state sovereignty. Period. There is no question. There is no discussion. And when they cried and cried about states rights, it was a lie.

A defense of the WH ballroom farce claims FDR renovated the East Wing in 1942 during WWII when the country could ill afford it. It was renovated to hide a secret bomb shelter to survive nuclear attack. Now it is the Presidential Emergency Ops Center. Served as a shelter following the 9/11 attacks.

White words on a black background read:

50+ 
Immigration agents have the authority to detain whom they reasonably suspect are in the country illegally. We found more than 50 Americans who were held after agents questioned their citizenship. They were almost all Latino.

~130
Agents also can arrest citizens who allegedly interfered with or assaulted officers. We compiled cases of about 130 Americans, including a dozen elected officials, accused of assaulting or impeding officers. 

~20
Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.

I did it because the government isn’t.

This is what I found.

Dropped my daughter off at the airport for a UNC journalism class trip to DC. My parting words were, β€œIf you get detained, get good pictures and video.” She replied, β€œI hate you.” She doesn’t. That’s how we talk. Gallows humor is a survival skill.

Rakfisk is a traditional Norwegian dish of fermented freshwater fish, most commonly trout, that is salted and left to ferment for several weeks to months. The fermentation process gives it a strong odor and a savory, tangy flavor.Β 

You can figure the rest out for yourselves.
