Trump hosted a dinner last week for donors helping fund his ballroom project.

Today, crews are starting construction and literally tearing down parts of the White House.

It's day 20 of the government shutdown and this is what he's prioritizing?

Use ladder with what?

You climb the ladder

You are in a museum gallery. It is dark, but a display case glints in the dim light.

> EXAMINE DISPLAY CASE

It's full of jewels!

You take the jewels.

Children are dying because Trump gutted USAID and cut lifesaving foreign aid — even though it took up less than 1% of the U.S. budget.

Meanwhile, he's preparing to dole out $40 billion to prop up Argentina's failing economy, all to help out his authoritarian pal.

Priorities.

I agree… although…. Having him constantly lying on public record for the future US Nuremberg Trials will probably be good.👍👍 Can’t listen to the smarmy **** though, so not sure whether it was useful as evidence. 🤔😁

You may be living in an absolutely racist country when 13-year-old Black boys are tried and sentenced as adults, but white dudes who *are* adults are called "kids" by JD Vance to shield them from culpability.

The @nytimes rightly taking heat for burying coverage of the massive protests in tiny pics below the fold on the cover and the story on page 23 — while saying they drew “thousands” (it was millions) and glazing Vance’s marines stunt.

What’s going on in there?

“MAGA Moses”… lol, thank you, storing that for future use. 😆 He sure is leading his MAGA death cult flock, and the rest of your country against their will, towards… something which will probably resemble 40 years of wandering in the desert in pain and in distress…

Mike Johnson: "We're fighting for healthcare as well. Not just in word but in deed. We put in the one big beautiful bill, real reforms to Medicaid to make it work better."

(The bill in fact cuts nearly $1 trillion from Medicaid.)
