Well, they can’t all be Ali vs Foreman in their prime.

I don't think the question put to the judge is what is or isn't true. It's a question of who, if not the current administration, has the authority to make changes to what is displayed at national parks?

Judge orders Trump administration to restore slavery exhibit at President’s House Site
The exhibit was removed to comply with an executive order from President Trump.

In a decision citing George Orwell's dystopian novel "1984," a federal judge on Monday prohibited the Trump administration from removing an exhibit related to slavery in a section of Philadelphia's Independence National Historical Park.

.......Judge Rufe, ruling on a lawsuit brought by the city of Philadelphia seeking to have the exhibit restored, wrote that "The government here likewise asserts truth is no longer self-evident, but rather the property of the elected chief magistrate and his appointees and delegees, at his whim to be scraped clean, hidden, or overwritten. And why? Solely because, as Defendants state, it has the power."

......."An agency, whether the Department of the Interior, NPS, or any other agency, cannot arbitrarily decide what is true, based on its own whims or the whims of the new leadership, regardless of the evidence before it," the judge wrote in an opinion issued on President's Day.

“… The president’s son is investing in Israeli drone maker Xtend as part of a $1.5 billion deal to take the company public through a merger with a small Florida construction company.

…
Trump is a strategic investor in the deal, which included a private placement. So is Unusual Machines, a separate drone company in which Donald Trump Jr. is an investor and adviser.

The merger marks the latest expansion of the first family’s business empire since President Trump was re-elected, including into many sectors the Trump administration regulates. New ventures stretching from cryptocurrency to nuclear fusion energy to manufacturing, which have generated billions of dollars in proceeds and paper wealth for the family, renewed conflict-of-interest claims that the White House and Trump Organization have denied.…”

This request IS THE WHOLE POINT.

The win is not getting the names of the accounts asked for.

The win is getting the rest of us to self censor in fear. Understand this story was purposefully leaked as a means of controlling you. Getting you to self censor. It has shit all to do with the few accounts they requested actual info on. and everything to do with controlling you (yes, you at home) and you behavior. IDKAY, but that really pisses me off in a way that is entirely counter productive to their intended effect.

I do not understand your last sentence.

I do not understand your last sentence.

It means I'm more motivated to to call out their bullshit. Fuck ICE.

And allow me to use my first amendment rights to say "Fuck the free speech suppressing assholes in this administration, too."

These jobs are draining even without the added baggage of aggressive dishonesty required in the Trump Administration.

Wonder if she is heading back to Ohio to try to distance herself from what appears to be a slow-moving train wreck at DHS under Noem?

As the face of DHS perfidy, hopefully she finds it hard to win any separation from her very public role as a very dishonest and unpleasant Spox.

Would like to see an accounting of those alleged receipts …
