Official government communications.

Since President Donald Trump took office, people acclimated to having the head of the United States government lash out and call people sometimes racist names and making thinly veiled threats on social media via his official Twitter account.


But now, a building is getting in on the act.

The official White House Twitter account is an extension of the president. As each president's term has ended, the tweets from their tenure are archived and the official White House Twitter account becomes the sole purview of the current administration.

And now with the Trump administration in charge, in an unprecedented move, the White House is openly attacking members of congress. The official government Twitter account's first targets?

Two women.

Democratic Senators Kamala Harris of California and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts were accused of supporting criminal activity by the White House. Both women attended Families Belong Together marches over the weekend.

Senator Warren belongs to a growing list of legislators calling for the abolishing of ICE, while Senator Harris calls for strict reforms on the agency's current practices.

The official White House account has always been a place for the current administration to toot their own horn. At this time in 2015, the President Barack Obama White House account was posting about Girl Scouts camping on the White House lawn.

Announcing diplomatic relations reopening with Cuba.

And boasting about the improvements to the economy.

The current iteration of the White House account does that as well, retweeting posts from the First Lady about her activities.

And posting some questionable facts about the benefits of the Trump/GOP tax cuts.

However targeting specific members of congress, while accusing them of "supporting the animals of MS-13" and "supporting criminals moving weapons, drugs, and victims across our nation’s borders" is new.

And people are not pleased.

Reactions to the two posts on Twitter range from people answering the question posed to outrage.

As well as some time spent answering questions for Trump supporters.

And in another first for the Trump administration, an official government Twitter account might find themselves suspended for violating community standards.

RFK Jr. Admits That Banning Fluoridated Water Will Cause 'More Cavities'—But He's OK With That

Health and Human Services Secretary (HHS) Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was criticized after admitting in a Fox News interview with Harris Faulkner that his proposed fluoridated water ban would likely lead people to have more cavities—but defended the move nonetheless.

While fluoride is not federally mandated in drinking water, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) had long recommended its inclusion. Fluoride helps prevent cavities by strengthening enamel, and numerous studies have shown that fluoridated water reduces tooth decay in both children and adults.

Jesse Watters Dragged After Trying To Give Mamdani A Scary Nickname That's Actually Kind Of Epic

Fox News personality Jesse Watters was widely mocked after he tried to give New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani a scary nickname in the vein of Conan the Destroyer—only for it to backfire considerably.

Watters is the latest member of the GOP to lash out at Mamdani, a democratic socialist who handily defeated former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary last week.

MAGA Rep Slammed After Calling For Mamdani To Be Stripped Of His Citizenship And Deported Over Rap Lyric

Tennessee Republican Andy Ogles was called out after he shared a letter he sent to Attorney General Pam Bondi urging her to denaturalize and deport New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani over a lyric in a rap song Mamdani released in 2017.

Mamdani ran a campaign centered around economic populism, arguing that the city, a global financial center, has grown unaffordable for everyday residents, citing soaring rents and grocery prices, and outlining policies aimed at reducing the cost of living.
