Here are the signs the Trump administration removed from Independence Park
Following last yearβs review, every sign has been removed from the Presidentβs House site.
Look at this: @inquirer.com has digitally preserved the interpretative signage removed by NPS, and used annotations to explain what specifically was flagged before removal. This keeps the content publicly accessible (for now) while doing newsworthy reporting

Aw, thank you so much for these kind words Sheila! And for your work and guidance then, now, and always. We also displayed some of the HDMB items in the UNO gallery and it made for a really special part of our Katrina commemoration exhibit.

Muskβs staffers have entered an independent government agency by force. Employees from DOGE are now inside the Washington offices of the United States Institute of Peace. This comes just days after agency representatives were unable to gain access to the building on Friday being blocked by lawyers.

Green card holder from New Hampshire 'interrogated' at Logan Airport, detained
Fabian Schmidtβs family said they are unsure of why he is being held. They said he has a recently renewed green card, and no active issues in court.
ICE stripped a German green card holder naked, drove him from Boston to Vermont to Rhode Island, put him in a cold shower, deprived him of medication, sleep and food until he collapsed.
No one knows why he was detained.
