Reporter: The president had initially said that this project wouldn't interfere with or touch the current structure.
Leavitt: If you look at the renderings, it's very clear the east wing was going to be modernized.

Theyโre distracting you with talk about healthcare premiums while a dictator runs wild...snatching Americans off the streets, looting hundreds of millions, and tearing down the White House. At this rate, healthcare will be the least of Americaโs worries.

Brian Schatz: "This is not about money. There is enough money to bail out Argentina with $20b. There is enough money to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173m for Noem. There is enough money to renovate the WH ballroom. What there isn't enough money for under this Republican government is you."

Yesterday, a federal judge ruled that Gregory Bovino and other officials can be questioned under oath over agents using chemical agents on protesters, journalists, and clergy in Chicago. A lot of ICE agents still mistakenly think that theyโll never be held accountable. They will.

I'm going to start using BlueSky as a sort of personal blog for nature observing, amateur astronomy, and, of course, navigating through politics and current events. But I'm wondering if any of you know of any good free sites that let someone blog nowadays? Suggestions are welcome.
