The UC Regents have so far refused to release the demand letter UCLA received from the Trump admin. @uclafa.bsky.social sued for its release last week and won. Glad to see that yesterday a judge rejected UC’s appeal of the decision. www.latimes.com/california/s...

• UC must publicly release a
Trump administration
settlement proposal by Friday after losing its appeal to keep the document private.
• UCLA faculty succeed in their lawsuit demanding transparency.
• The proposal includes demands for stricter admissions policies and campus protest restrictions, among other demands.

Last month, the UCLA Faculty Assn. sued UC after the university rejected its public records requests. The association is an independent organization unaffiliated with the Academic Senate, the body that formally represents all UCLA faculty in relations with campus administrators.

COLLINS: Today you pardoned the founded of Binance. Can you explain why you did that?

TRUMP: Which one was that?

COLLINS: The founder of Binance

TRUMP: I believe we're talking about the same person, because I do pardon a lot of people. I don't know. He was recommended by a lot of people.

A not insignificant number of people knew the demolition was coming, including people at the White House Historical Association, and did nothing to stop it.

I see that @whitehousehistory.bsky.social put out a statement yesterday stating that they were able to complete a “comprehensive digital scanning project” to document the East Wing, and that the historic artifacts have been preserved and stored.

Oct 22, 2025 Washington, D.C. —
Since 1961, the mission of the White House Historical Association has been to document and share the history of the White House while providing private, non-taxpayer funding to preserve and enhance the White House Collection of furnishings, fine art, and decorative objects, maintaining the museum standard set by our founder, First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy. While the Association has never had a role in reviewing or approving changes to the physical structure of the White House building, we remain dedicated to advancing the public’s understanding of The White House and its history — from when the cornerstone was set in 1792, to present — ensuring that all of its stories are preserved and shared for generations to come.

Upon announcement of the Ballroom construction project by the White House, the White House Historical Association supported the preservation of East Wing history through a comprehensive digital scanning project and photography to create an historic record. The East Wing and gardens have been captured in detail for the benefit of our nation and historic artifacts from the East Wing have been preserved and stored. The White House Historical Association was able to support swift completion of this important work thanks to the generous philanthropy of our donors.
November 1 marks 225 years since John and Abigail Adams moved into a White House that has undergone scores of changes and many additions over 47 presidencies. Our important role will continue with the support of thousands of Americans who cherish the historic White House and the history of those who have lived and worked there for 225 years.

I've really let my brain just go in the last decade or so. When I was younger, I would have remembered something like the full line '"My country, right or wrong; if right, to be kept right, if wrong, to be set right"', since that last part is often cut out of context.

In 1980, Trump destroyed Art Deco sculptures he'd promised to the Met to speed up Trump Tower's construction—now he's demolishing the White House's East Wing for a massive ballroom despite preservationists' objections.

Still think it's worth pointing out that USAID had an average yearly budget of $23 billion before Trump, Musk, Vought et al took a chainsaw to it, and 2023 had it around $38 billion.

In the mind of those degenerates, men are innocent and blameless, and any act they do is solely the fault of women for "tempting" them.

the king blames his subjects for complaining about his policies hurting them

The Cattle Ranchers, who I love, don’t understand that the only reason they are doing so well, for the first time in decades, is because I put Tariffs on cattle coming into the United States, including a 50% Tariff on Brazil. If it weren’t for me, they would be doing just as they’ve done for the past 20 years — Terrible! It would be nice if they would understand that, but they also have to get their prices down, because the consumer is a very big factor in my thinking, also!

there are good & worthwhile historical & legal arguments for why the unitary executive is nonsense but to my mind the most straightforward argument is that it makes no logical sense that the president has absolute removal power over the people whose job it is to keep the executive branch accountable

Don Moynihan @donmoyn.bsky.social · 2d

The Inspector General system is basically broken now. Most IGs have been fired, most positions remain vacant. Those who remain or would take the job pose no risk to holding the regime accountable.
Congress added more barriers to Trump firing IGs after his first term. He just ignored them.

As an American pastor, I must address American sins. Right now, key American sins are:

- Feminism
- Abortion
- Homosexuality
- Mass immigration
- Rampant black crime
- Effeminate men
- Zionism
- Tolerance
- Transgenderism
- Atheism

The Gospel has words for all of it.
