PHOTOS: White House starts East Wing demolition to build Trump's ballroom

The Republican president has said he's adding a 90,000-square-foot ballroom because the East Room, the largest room in the White House with an approximately 200-person capacity, is too small.

It isn't winning if you're cheating & lying.

The DOJ Lied Its Way to Victory in a Key Trump Case. It Just Got Caught in Court.

The president’s Department of Justice keeps lying brazenly to judges, and more often than not, it refuses to correct the record.

Adelita Grijalva now holds the record for longest delay between winng a special Congressional election and being sworn into office.

Why the delay from Mike Johnson?

Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

@chrislhayes.bsky.social It's one thing to try to even up score in congressional seats.

But citizens who want to vote for seats Democrats seek, are likely to face intense scrutiny, intimidation.

Even if Democrats re-take House will tRump create a repeat insurrection or seat them?

Once again, if Trump really wanted to sanction Russia, he has an ideal vehicle crying out to be used; the Graham-Blumenthal act. However, he will not even allow Senate Republicans to vote on it. The only conclusion is that he really does not want to hurt Putin

If the Justices with golden tongues and legal brilliance can't convince the MAGA Justices of the immorality of some of their most egregious votes, what chance does democracy have? Eventually every horrible tRump impulse & decision lands at the Supreme Court.

If i had stress of not knowing how i was going to pay for food, for housing, i truly don't know how i'd be able to concentrate on such stressful work. But at least tRump has golden tchotchkes in his office & a new golden ballroom coming.

But such a shame Cinderella will be to too hungry to dance.
