While we spectate on The East Wing being torn down, it isn’t just another hallway, it’s where Eleanor Roosevelt built the modern Office of the First Lady, where WWII bunkers were hidden, and where the public enters the People’s House. Erasing it is rewriting history.

Trump has signed an order expanding his administration’s authority to redirect unspent federal funds to pay members of the military during the government shutdown,

It’s hard to imagine them doing what they’re doing if they didn’t already realize there would be no trials before the five years is up.

The scariest part about this is they’ve probably got the next elections rigged. That really scares me.

Hard to get a grip on the fact that the USA has a secret police force going around abducting people and all we’re doing is talking about it. Thank God for this Saturday but…

BREAKING: ICE agents just abducted a press camera operator in Chicago.

WGN-TV’s Debbie Brockman was dragged to the ground, cuffed and bundled into a van - which then rammed her vehicle to escape.

this is an absolutely insane news conference for the Attorney General of the United States to be participating in.

This is horrific and unforgivable. They did nothing as this man had a medical crisis. There is a real "black guy, so it must be a drug problem" vibe coming from these officers' actions. www.kare11.com/article/news...

Big Mac is one of our house dogs. He is slowing down a lot recently.

He has complete free reign with us and even a job guarding the kitchen where we cook all the food. He is also chief food tester there.

I love the old guys so much ❤️
