The Trump administration is taking its social media attacks on Democratic opponents to an unlikely platform, with the White House and numerous other government agencies joining Bluesky on Friday. In its first post, the new White House account uploaded a highlight reel of Trump footage and memes, along with the message, "What's up, Bluesky? We thought you might've missed some of our greatest hits, so we put this together for you."

Imagine this: You've got just an hour before your flight starts boarding, you're schlepping a carry-on backpack stuffed to the brim, your passport's in one hand, the handle to a suitcase with a faulty wheel is in the other, and you're about to finally go through security-when a video of Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem whining about Democrats starts blaring. That'd be my last straw.

The Radical Left are going to shut down the government and inflict massive pain on the American people unless they get their $1.5 trillion wish list of demands, the banner read. The Trump administration wants to keep the government open for the American people. The shutdown began at midnight on Oct. 1 after the Senate failed to advance a short-term funding measure that cleared the House of Representatives earlier.

Trump and his Republican allies, including Senator Tom Cotton, have accused Smith of violating the Hatch Act... Cotton accused Smith of being a partisan Democrat who weaponized the law against Trump.
