If the President ignores the U.S. Constitution and no one enforces it on him, does that mean it is now for all practical purposes defunct and states can do as they wish? There is more at stake with a President who defies the U.S. Constitution than one person or one law. It is the system itself.

One of the things that makes a trip to the Art Gallery of New South Wales so enjoyable, is that the building itself is a work of art. #art #Australia #architecture #buildings #gallery

The approach to the gallery, as viewed from beneath one of the shady trees in the park across the street.

The grand neoclassical sandstone entry to the gallery. The banners read: "Free Entry" and "Art for All".

The cathedral-like foyer features skylights and marble pillars.

An arch from the foyer, with marble columns, through which we can see the multi-storey Gallery beyond.

The reason I know that Pierre Poilievre is lying about why he refuses to apply for the normal security check to receive the normal security clearance for anyone in his position, is the fact that he started his answer with the part (see below) that was literally the easiest to fact check as a lie.

A stroll through the Parramatta justice precinct… #buildings #architecture #modernism #Parramatta #Australua

The Garfield Barwick Commonwealth Court building. An imposing concrete structure.

The glass atrium of the Commonwealth Court building's front facade. It's a curved structure made up of triangular glass windows, several floors high.

Sign near the entrance that reads "Garfield Barwick Federal Law Courts Building".

Sign on the side of a concrete block building that reads: "Children's Court". It stands near the site of the old family court building, which was destroyed after being bombed in 1984.

Cuts would mean dramatic decreases in funding for humanitarian aid, global health and international groups

I don't know how long it's been there, but I just discovered a cute little record store just off Parramatta Square, in the row of shops between St John's Cathedral and the train station. #music #CD #vinyl #RecordShop #Parramatta #NSW

The record shop is right down the end of the row of shops.

Stand of CDs out the front. A sign says: Bargain bay: 3 for $10.

Inside the shop. There's rows of secondhand CDs and records.

More vinyl records and tote bags along the window.
