## Resource

Karoline Leavitt is leaving as WH Press Secretary. She'll still be in Trump's orbit as an advisor, but the daily death matches w/ the "Free Press" are over. Elsewhere, a Federal judge just ordered HUD to keep pouring hundreds of millions of taxpayer $ down the homeless rathole known as the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority. Because when an agency has a decade-long rap sheet of fraud, conflict-of-interest scandals, and zero results, the only logical move is… more money!
