Summary:
I am asking my fellow Republican and Democratic Governors across the nation to have a unified response.
We must all stand against the lawlessness being inflicted in our states.
Long before becoming the District of Columbia, these lands were home to indigenous peoples.
Native American artifacts have been found all over DC, including Rock Creek Park, Anacostia, the Arboretum, Capitol Hill, and even the White House.
It is a powerful reminder that indigenous peoples have inhabited this area for thousands of years — a history, culture, and presence that endures today.
On Indigenous Peoples Day, we honor the Piscataway, the Nacotchtank (Anacostans), and all who first called this place home.

CUOMO: I'm not used to seeing naked political propaganda on a government website. Are you worried about this violating the Hatch Act?
SCOTT TURNER: We're not worried at all. This is not about propaganda. This is about letting the American people know what's going on.
CUOMO:
The Radical Left has shut down our government, but not our calling. HUD will remain mission-minded in serving our most vulnerable.
We will continue our work with the resources available until the Radical Left comes to their senses and reopens the government.

CUOMO: It's not true. That's why I'm bringing it up. That's why it's propaganda.
TURNER: Democrats are using this as a distraction.
Embarrassing, un-American, weak, shameful, pathetic. Founding fathers crying in their graves. Get ready for all the Congressional inquiries in 2027 and 2028.
The beginning of the end for illegals living in taxpayer-funded housing starts now.
@POTUS promised to put Americans first and HUD is delivering results.
Get ready @Sec_Noem and @StephenM!
