Of all the lies told by Leavitt, I think claiming President Trump wrote any of these plaques is both the most blatantly obvious and the most hilarious as an actual "student of history."

White House installs plaques mocking former Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden
The Biden plaque refers to him as “Sleepy Joe Biden” and calls him “the worst President in American History.”

As a historian who has studied labor in the early 20th century, I have many thoughts about Time magazine appropriating the famous image of NYC workers sitting on a beam for its cover of a bunch of wealthy tech moguls.

In 2024, about ⅔ of votes were in Oconee and ⅓ in Clarke. The same was true today. But the vote breakdown in both counties was to the left of 2024, especially in Clarke.

Final precinct reports in Oconee County, giving the Republican the lead back in Georgia's #HD121 (Trump+12):
Mack "Dutch" Guest (R)- 51.6%
Eric Gisler (D)- 48.4%
Seven precincts left in heavily Democratic Athens, will it be enough to give Gisler the lead?

Currently looking at the early/mail split in Georgia's #HD121 (Trump+13) and the Democrat is currently outrunning the 2024 State House margin in reported precincts here by around 25 points.
The 2024 State House race here was R+22, so this is going to be super close

The Kremlin welcomed President Donald Trump's new national security strategy, saying it largely accorded with Russia's perceptions, the first time Moscow has so lavishly praised such a document from the United States.
Kremlin says new U.S. security strategy accords largely with Russia's view
The U.S. National Security Strategy argued the U.S. should revive the 19th century Monroe Doctrine, which declared the Western Hemisphere to be Washington's zone of influence.

During ratification of the 14th Amendment, senators discussed whether the Citizenship Clause would apply to the children of immigrants and resoundingly concluded that it did. The text and history all point in one direction and the counter-arguments are patently fraudulent. I am going to lose my mind
The evidence is the text. All you have to do is read the Constitution.
