Update from the USA SW: There was no one at the gate of a National Park/Monument today - if you're cheap, a good time to discover America (before it disappears). Downside for the govt - saw at least 30 cars go through for free.

If you run the city or USA like Frank White, the city bends, the law folds, & the game plays by your rules. Loyalty is currency. Power is a whisper. Mercy? That’s for someone else’s kingdom. Cross the King? Well… hope you don’t mind disappearing like last night’s headlines. #KingTrump #KingOfNewYork

I cannot tell a lie... Allegedly, George Washington, after chopping down a cherry tree. Meanwhile, every MAGA politician: "That tree was already falling. Fake news. Also, my opponent actually chopped it down. & if I did, it was the best tree-chopping ever. Perfect technique. People are saying."
