Sen. @amyklobuchar: We have confirmed that you were right, Mr. Smith. The Iowa Hawkeyes played Maryland on February 3, 2024. The final score was 93-85. Iowa won and Caitlin Clark scored 30 points, so it must've been a pretty good game. The game was, in fact, in Maryland. For a US senator to have false information and imply that you were in another city and then call you a 'dirtbag' is something that deserves an apology.
Between 2019 and 2023, a total of 2 trans athletes who were born male and wanted to compete as female petitioned the NC High School Athletic Association for permission. Let me repeat that . . . a grand total of 2.
There are roughly 4,600,000 in the 39 Western North Carolina counties included in the disaster declaration following Hurricane Helene that Michael Whatley failed as the Recovery Czar.
It you’re more concerned about 2 trans athletes than about 4,600,000 disaster victims then congratulations, you’re a Republican.

Barack Obama at his last press briefing with reporters, 2017:
"I have enjoyed working with all of you. That does not, of course, mean that I've enjoyed every story that you have filed, but that's the point of this relationship. You're not supposed to be sycophants. You're supposed to be skeptics. You're supposed to ask me tough questions. You're not supposed to be complimentary, but you're supposed to cast a critical eye on folks who hold enormous power."
The Statue of Liberty was restored in the 80s, the Washington Monument needed repairs in 2011 after an earthquake, again in 2019 for elevators and security, and the Lincoln Memorial restoration began in 2016
Not a single location was renamed for the administration overseeing it.
The White House media ban
reminds me of the Teddy Roosevelt quote:
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
Obama: “Imagine if I had pulled Fox News’ credentials from the WH press corps. You’re laughing but this is what’s happening.
It’s unimaginable that the same parties that are silent right now would have tolerated a behavior like that from me.”
Whoopi Goldberg on Trump: “I want all of this insanity to stop. I’m sick of this. You cannot have The Kennedy Center man. It’s not yours. Fix the war. Forget the buildings. Fix the war. Fix the economy. Stop trying to move stuff out of museums. Stop it. Would you just pay attention to the American people?”
