Protesters project a quote from Founding Father John Adams onto the U.S. Department of Justice building as a demonstration against the Trump administration’s announcement of a taxpayer-backed “anti-weaponization fund.” NBC News reports the projected message is aimed at opposing the $1.776 billion figure. The Hill reports the quote, “A government of laws, not of men,” appears on the building Tuesday night on a banner that hangs from the Trump-branded banner attached to the DOJ. The projections are presented as part of a wider protest over what opponents describe as government actions tied to the newly announced fund. Both outlets describe the action as a public, high-visibility protest using the projected quote to convey their message. The reports do not indicate that the projection causes damage or that authorities issue a public statement in response within the coverage provided. The administration’s announcement and the fund’s stated purpose are the central issue prompting the demonstration.
