The founders carefully designed the WH to be The Peopleโ€™s House and specifically did not want trappings that reflected the monarchy they fought to liberate us from.

Karl: The transformation has been gradual and unmistakable.

By February, some golden urns on the mantle.

April, gold adornments appear on the walls.

By July, it's gold everywhere.

Just this week more scaffolding popped up, even more new gold trim appeared.

Confessions of a Radical, Woke Leftist Whew, this is a tough one to write, but Iโ€™ll try to get it out if youโ€™ll bear with me.

I'm so woke, I want the Epstein files released so rapists face accountability and so all survivors of abuse know they matter.

This would be a great time in the American experiment to have tough and fearless reporters who view their mission as watchdogs of truth and democracy.

But getting rolled by a limp-weinered wuss like Lindsey Graham is great too.

STFU, RFK Jr, you ridiculous idiot. You don't care about the wellbeing of patients. You care about politics. You are actively undermining doctors' ability to protect their patients from measles and COVID. Your party forces women who have miscarried to bleed out in parking lots over your politics.

Trump is planning on meeting Putin in Alaska.
Why?
Is he going to sell it back?

Mark Kelly: "I hope we got something out of this. Putin is a war criminal. This is not a show of strength to allow him to fly into the United States to land here to negotiate with our president."

Thou shalt not use tariffs to tax working class Americans and then pretend the money is being paid by foreign countries.

Itโ€™s like West Virginia was starved for representation. For someone to just come. Bernie did and my fellow West Virginians are in love.

Where are the hard-working Americans who screamed, โ€œTheyโ€™re stealing our jobsโ€?

Youโ€™re getting your wish. Immigrant workers arenโ€™t showing up, and farm owners are hiring.

Trump is falsely claiming DC crime is surging (it's at a 30-year low) to justify a federal police surge, threaten a takeover, and possibly pave the way for martial-law-style control.

Also, Hitler too herded the homeless into concentration camps. Now #PedoFรผhrer is preparing to do the same thing.

When my mom hit the serious stages of Alzheimers, her expression changed. Her face changed. Connectedness left her eyes. And something weird and blank took its place. Disconnected. Confusion. At first intermittent, then always. I swear to you I now see it in HIS face. It's unmistakable.

So Andrew Cuomo is colluding with Donald Trump and [checks notes] *landlords* to win the mayoral election?

Exactly right.

They simply want the end product โ€” whether itโ€™s an actual production of art or music or the end result of hard work like a PhD โ€” without doing the work.

Itโ€™s cheat codes all the way down.

OVERNIGHT: A federal judge in Hawaii has blocked the Trump administration from authorizing commercial fishing in a national monument area designated by George W. Bush and expanded by Barack Obama.

The Trump admin blew off public input, judge ruled.

Itโ€™s so upsetting that the White House press corps are so intimidated of the Felon, they just take his shit.

The social media accounts for federal law enforcement agencies keep posting the exact kinds of things you'd report to federal law enforcement agencies if a normal citizen posted them.

Almost as if an entire class of people have different rules applied to them and rules that are only selectively enforced, with none to minimal to easily evaded consequences.
