"It’s up to the Committee for the Preservation of the #WhiteHouse to approve any changes. Led by the director of the National Park Service.. #Trump has not nominated a director because he doesn’t want anybody interfering with his plans to redo the historic White House"

NEW EPISODE: Donald Trump is laying the groundwork to undermine the 2026 elections — filling his administration with election deniers, weaponizing the Justice Department, and attacking the rule of law. Trump’s allies are preparing to control every part of the election process.

Terres rares | Les masques tombent, le vernis éclate. Qui peut croire encore le discours et les fausses promesses « vertes » et « d’intérêt national » pour le Canada d’une minière dirigée par un climato-sceptique républicain proche du président américain qui cherche à s’accaparer ce minerai d’ici?

In the last 72 hours or so Donald Trump has:
• Demolished a large section of the White House
• Posted a video of himself dropping shit on the American people
• Demanded a $230 million payout from his own Department of Justice

Also the federal government is still shut down, but, y’know…

By the way—everything I ever sent any of you on this app is off record. You guys aren't journalists so it's weird saying that but just letting you know.

Graduate seminar did a deep dive on Thomas Paine’s Common Sense yesterday. At the line, “in America the law is king,” they (14 students from 6 countries) burst out laughing. I've been doing this for 35 years and this is the first time that was a laugh line.
