The White House was never supposed to be a palace.
George Washington and architect James Hoban deliberately rejected the lavish style of European monarchies. Instead, they designed a President’s House that reflected the ideals of a republic: dignified, restrained, and accountable to the people.
The White House belongs to the American people. Every president is just a temporary tenant.

Remarkable!
For the first time, China successfully recovers Long March 10B rocket at the sea, following maiden flight.
🇨🇳China becomes the world's second country, after the🇺🇸US, to own reliable rocket reusability technology.🚀
It also marked the world's first recovery of an orbital-class rocket using a wire arrestment recovery system.
A smart preventive measure in China…
safety barriers at train stations to prevent passengers from slipping and protect them from falling onto the tracks.
@ChinaNow24 China's literally living 100 years ahead of us in the US 😂 I'm currently in Hong Kong and they have a similar system for their subways with sliding doors. Everything here just makes sense
@PeteHegseth@SecWar Iran isn't scared of you, you pathetic excuse of a man. You thought you could bend them to your will by dropping a few bombs. All we've done is showed how tenacious their people are and how much of assholes we've become. I'm ashamed to be a member of your military

@_mind_your_biz The US state department isn't upset about NOTAMs. They're upset about China's capabilities. But what choice does China have? EPIC FURY showed the world that you better have a nuclear arsenal, otherwise the US will drop bombs on you at the random whim of an elderly fat white man
