Telling the federal judiciary to “f*** off” Friends, Sorry to intrude on your inboxes for a second time today, but it’s necessary. After a federal judge pressed the Trump administration to provide evidence by 5 pm today about whether the White House had violated the court’s order in deporting migrants with little to no due […]
Holding young musicians accountable for their race, color, etc., not allowing them to express themselves in music. The United States Marine Band was founded in 1798.
