snowed in
for three straight days

the machine for the sound
of your voice

DOGE cuts
red district town hall

my baby's diaper
FYI: DOGE stands for the Department of Government Efficiency. And the Convicted Felon Donald Trump is set to roll out his massive tariff plan on April 2, which he has touted as "Liberation Day in America."
