Ann Shayne @ashayne.bsky.social · 01/03/2025I keep thinking about the ancient concept of hospitality, what it means to invite people into your house. The White House is our nation’s house; it doesn’t belong to anybody but the American people. To see it abused yesterday is such an insult to all Americans. That’s not how we welcome an ally. 1121
