β€œAt this moment in time of course, the ballroom is really the president's main priority.”

It’s hard to wrap your mind around it because of how callous it is.

But that’s what White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt actually said. Out loud. To press. Proudly.

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Abbott activates emergency resources ahead of growing wildfire threat, flood risk in Texas With expected growing wildfire danger across Texas and the potential for a flood risk this weekend, Gov. Greg Abbott is activating more state emergency response resources Friday.

Texas is preparing emergency resources for wildfires and floods. The Texas National Guard should be THERE β€” not in Illinois.

We stand ready to support their return home so they are best positioned for helping Texans respond to any natural disasters.

What’s Really Going On in Portland, According to Police Reports Protests outside an ICE facility were dwindling in size and at times ”low energy” in the days and weeks before President Trump called in troops, according to official law-enforcement logs.
