Here's a simple fact, look it up: An executive order only applies to federal agencies under the executive branch, not state or local governments, private businesses, or people.

Concerned about our national debt? WarrenBuffett’s 5-minute solution: “I could end the deficit in 5minutes. You just pass a law that says that anytime there’s a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for reelection.” Demand your rep pass it as law

Just want the old passport? Simply renew online (no Trump passport) or renew at a passport office outside D.C. (also no Trump passport.) The odds of getting one are low unless you’re in D.C. - even then it’s only issued “when available.” It won’t even be offered outside of DC

Trump said no taxpayer money would be spent on the ballroom. A contractor’s invoices show otherwise. BTW - Any federal employee who approves an expenditure for a project where funds have not been approved is subject to prosecution. What was Clark Construction thinking!?!? They should know better.

Hey Congress – how about dividing into teams? An Epstein File team, a ballroom/arch/Kennedy Center/DC Team, a conflict of interest team, an off shore accounts/flow the donation money team, an Iran team, a Ukraine team, a DEI lawsuit team, an enemies team - there is a team for everyone.

Why does scouting care what Hegseth thinks? The mission of the military: provide combat ready protect national security, defend America. The mission of scouts: prepare kids to make moral & ethical choices, instill values of the scouting oath & build character through camping & community service.

In the past year, Trump has commissioned more than 630 air strikes in 7 countries across 3 continents, according to the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data project. (According to the New Yorker). So no - not know as a “President of Peace.”
