One more extremely nice bunch of people at the Mississippi No Kings rally Oct 18. No violence, no burning, just sweet people with pantry donations. No a hater among them. See that #MikeJohnson.

It’s simple: One who believes in the Constitution, representative government, the rule of law, and certain inalienable rights for all. That’s it. No Jesus. No God. No Christianity. The title “American” is open to all.

If the destruction of the East Wing is a shock, the money that’s paying for it might be even more of a scandal.

Big Tech helped bankroll the East Wing destruction

Meta, Amazon, Microsoft, Apple, and Google have a lot riding on their relationships with the Trump administration. They all cut checks for the ballroom.
