Yes, the White House sometimes serves as a branch Kremlin press office, which would be humiliating for anyone who had the slightest hint of patriotism or for that matter personal dignity.

The corrupt gangsters running this government violate the law daily and use government funds for partisan politics to bribe voters in violation of the law. Trump has been emboldened by a rogue Supreme Court which has given him immunity and taken a blowtorch to the Constitution.

🎉GREAT NEWS🎉 988 has resumed specialized services for LGBTQI+ youth in crisis after Congress forced the Trump Admin to restore these lifesaving services. Trump cruelly cut these services—but CEC founder @baldwin.senate.gov and our members fought back, and got them restored!
Equality Caucus celebrates return of 988's specialized services for LGBTQI+ youth in crisis. Read more at the link in our bio.“For years, young LGBTQI+ people in crisis could turn to the 988 hotline for help from someone specially trained to meet their unique needs, but the Trump Administration made a cruel, conscious choice to cut those services last year. Now, thanks to the work of Congressional Equality Caucus Founder Senator Tammy Baldwin and our members, 988’s specialized services for LGBTQI+ youth in crisis have finally resumed. The bill mandating the restoration of these services became law in February—it should never have taken this long for the Administration to restore these lifesaving services. They dragged their feet however they could, even though they knew young LGBTQI+ people out there were in crisis. As we celebrate the restoration of these services, we will continue fighting to pass bipartisan legislation—led by CEC Vice Chair Krishnamoorthi, Co-Chair Davids, and Rep. Moulton in the House—to ensure this lifeline never goes dark again.” Rep. Mark Takano, hair of the Congressional Equality Caucus

Trump White House misspells “United” on the official “super intelligence” document with AI executives. Instead of “President of the United States,” it reads: “President of the Unites States.” Nothing says “super intelligence” quite like misspelling the name of the country.
Screenshot of a Truth Social post from Donald J. Trump’s verified @realDonaldTrump account displaying a signed document titled “Joint Commitment on Frontier Responsibilities.” The document outlines voluntary AI safety and oversight commitments for companies developing frontier artificial intelligence models. On the right side are signatures and company labels for leaders including Sundar Pichai of Google, Dario Amodei of Anthropic, Mark Zuckerberg of Meta, Greg Brockman of OpenAI, Elon Musk of xAI, and Jensen Huang of Nvidia. Near the center-right, Donald J. Trump’s large signature appears above the printed title identifying him as president. The title contains a noticeable typo: instead of “President of the United States,” it reads, “President of the Unites States,” misspelling “United” as “Unites.”

CEC Chair @repmarktakano.bsky.social & @demwomencaucus.bsky.social Chair @fernandez.house.gov know Trump doesn't really care about protecting students because his Title IX rule undermines protections for survivors of sexual violence & ignores Title IX's protections for LGBTQI+ & other students.
Democratic Women’s Caucus & Congressional Equality Caucus Denounce Trump’s Cruel Title IX Rule. Read more at the link in our bio.“Trump’s Department of Education has obsessively weaponized Title IX to attack trans people under the false pretense of protecting girls and women, but this rule is further proof that that pretense has always been a lie. A Senate report found that, under Trump and Secretary McMahon, the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights didn’t reach a resolution agreement for a single sexual harassment or violence case in 2025, proving how this Administration has failed to protect students. Now, they’ve recodified a rule that weakens protections for students, especially protections against sexual harassment and violence. All students, including LGBTQI+ students, deserve to go to school free of discrimination and harassment, including sexual harassment and violence, but this rule is just the latest example of how Trump and McMahon don’t care about keeping students safe.” Rep. Mark Takano, Chair of the Congressional Equality Caucus and Senior Member of the Committee on Education“Education Secretary Linda McMahon’s reinstatement of Trump’s reckless 2020 Title IX policy will severely weaken protections against the sexual assault and harassment, and discrimination of all students. The Trump administration’s claim that this will address the pervasive culture of sexual assault in schools is a dangerous lie. Make no mistake, it will leave our most vulnerable students who face harassment and bullying further at risk. This policy will create additional barriers and delays for survivors navigating the Title IX process. We have already called out the administration for resolving ZERO sexual misconduct cases. The administration is choosing to use the safety of girls as a ploy to perpetuate hate against LGBTQI+ students. The Democratic Women’s Caucus will continue the fight to strengthen and expand Title IX protections until all girls are able to attend school free from the fear of violence and discrimination. If Republicans truly want to prioritize the safety of women and girls in school, they would protect survivors. This Administration has done everything it can to minimize the voices and needs of survivors of sexual assault." Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández, Chair of the Democratic Women’s Caucus
