DC’s cleaning crews cover around 81 miles/day for around $150K/day. National Guard has cleaned a total of 3.2 miles and costs more than $1M/day. It’s about 170X more cost efficient per mile to fund DC’s existing work.
So, after all these rumors about Trump having health problems amidst his sudden, week-long disappearance from the public eye, I'm naturally interested to see what he looks like at his big, televised announcement regarding the politically-motivated relocation of Space Command. It was scheduled for 2 pm ET this afternoon.
"Israel was the strongest lobby I’ve ever seen. They had total control over Congress, and now they don’t," Trump told the Daily Caller in an interview.

On correspondence NOTon legally binding documents. The difference is critical which makes the criticism valid.

The Constitution does not require a president's signature to be valid.
The Constitution does enumerate that a Presidential signature is required in several instances. The controversy exists over its use for pardons because those are a personal decision but it is clear that Biden did NOT personally approve hundreds of pardons.
Hmm. 1) A quick re-check of the Constitution suggests that it only requires a POTUS's signature (or veto) on legislation that Congress has passed--although legislation can become law without the signature of a POTUS (Article I, Section 7). What are some of the other "several instances" you speak of? Could you please name just a couple?
Moreover, GWB's DOJ held that a President need not physically sign a bill of which s/he approves but rather may "sign" such legislation "by directing a subordinate to affix the President’s signature to it, for example by autopen."
2) Also, could you please provide a source or two for your statement that "it is clear that Biden did NOT personally approve hundreds of pardons" [emphasis mine]? I can't say that I follow this stuff closely but so far I don't recall seeing anything that makes that "clear."
Thanks in advance for helping me through these two sticking points.
This is a list of mayors of the 50 largest cities in the United States, ordered by their populations as of July 1, 2022, as estimated by the United States Census Bureau. These 50 cities have a combined population of 49.6 mill...
This man was gifted a second presidency because Democrats couldn’t figure out they had to get a sick and senile man out before 2024. He had easy debates , an overwhelming victory with majority population and (obviously) electoral support. He came into 2025 with the strongest economy ever. Trump has: not controlled illegal immigration, brought down stocks with tariffs, made competitors with tariffs, made vehicles more expensive, disgracefully covered up a pedophilia ring (why?), and bowed down to Putin’s demands, showed weakness to Putin. His first presidency was a whole lot worse f talking and doing nothing. His second presidency is a whole lot of talking with added bonus of sinking the whole country.
And because Biden was the president of genocide...
He is alive. He looked low energy and his hair was more askew than normal, but he did not appear to be on the verge of death.
He essentially admitted that Space Command's location was changed because Alabama overwhelming voted for him and because Colorado has mail-in voting, which he does not like. (He called this baseless personal grievance a "big factor" in making this national security decision.)
When asked, he said that he was unaware of the rumors about him having health problems, but that's obviously a lie because he posted about it a two days ago claiming he never felt better in his life. Regardless, it seems some people got their hopes a little too high.
U.S. manufacturing contracted for a fifth straight month in July and factory employment dropped to the lowest level in five years amid tariffs that have raised prices of imported raw materials.
I queried ChatGPT for the twenty largest cities and the party of their mayors. It showed only Fort Worth among the twenty with a Republican mayor.
Looking at the Wikipedia page you cite, I see a Republican mayor of Dallas as well. It appears that Eric Johnson, mayor of Dallas, switched parties from Democrat to Republican in 2023 - which probably explains ChatGPT's confusion.
On the other hand, I have it from reliable sources on this very thread that Wikipedia is "woke" and is not to be trusted.

Wikipedia will be fine if you're googling dates or uncontroversial facts (e.g. the results of a random big race or a list of mayors of a certain city). That being said, the political articles are INCREDIBLY biased - and biased in only one way.
e.g. the Trump article, just a couple of paragraphs in: "In response to the COVID-19 pandemic from 2020, he downplayed its severity, contradicted health officials, and signed the CARES Act. After losing the 2020 presidential election to Joe Biden, Trump attempted to overturn the result, culminating in the January 6 Capitol attack in 2021. He was impeached in 2019 for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress, and in 2021 for incitement of insurrection; the Senate acquitted him both times...His administration's actions—including intimidation of political opponents and civil society, deportations of immigrants, and extensive use of executive orders—have drawn over 300 lawsuits challenging their legality. High-profile cases have underscored his broad interpretation of the unitary executive theory and have led to significant conflicts with the federal courts. Judges found many of his administration's actions to be illegal, and several have been described as unconstitutional.... Many of his comments and actions have been characterized as racist or misogynistic, and he has made false or misleading statements and promoted conspiracy theories to an extent unprecedented in American politics. Trump's actions, especially in his second term, have been described as authoritarian and contributing to democratic backsliding."
This is the pinnacle of TDS - just whining about Trump. It reads like an AI trained exclusively on MSNBC.
And that's why I support revoking its nonprofit status...if it's "nonprofit" it shouldn't be blatantly partisan. Don't have a problem with CNN or MSNBC having the coverage they do - they don't pretend to be neutral and they're private companies. Nor do I have a problem with Fox - it's not a nonprofit that pretends to be unbiased.
But if NPR - taxpayer funded - will be incredibly woke while pretending to be objective, it should be defunded. just a couple of articles:
Abortion restrictions across the U.S. affect transgender men and non-binary people who can get pregnant. For many trans people, getting an abortion is already a challenge even without restrictions.
Cash payments to Black descendants of the formerly enslaved have been a key part of the reparations movement. California lawmakers have set aside $12 million, but cash payments aren't in the plan.

I just clicked on the second link (reparations in CA).
To be clear about my own bias, I think reparations are a crazy, absurd idea.
That said, what is it that you object to concerning NPR interviewing someone on this topic? It does not appear to me that NPR was advocating for reparations. It appears that they were simply interviewing someone about the current state of affairs on reparations.
