The good news? As soon as trump is thrown out, Americans can move to destroy the ugly ballroom and build back a better and more useful East Wing.

F--k trump.
Normal people don't tear down something without knowing they have approval for the construction.

The White House said on Tuesday it would submit plans for the ballroom construction for review by the National Capital Planning Commission, which oversees federal construction in Washington and neighboring states, even though demolition had already begun 5/6
Look at this hideous thing. All being done illegally. Everything he does is a crime.
An administration official said the demolition process would likely be finished within two weeks. 'We can confirm that the entire East Wing is going to be modernized and renovated to, I guess, support the ... ballroom project,' the official said 3/6
The University of Virginia, the first public school to decline, said research should be based on merit alone. Vanderbilt’s chancellor said the school would continue a dialogue with the administration, while the University of Texas at Austin has not responded.
All but two of nine universities have rejected a conditional offer of preferential federal funding, three days after the feedback deadline. The “compact” asks schools to adopt policies aligned with the Trump administration’s values. 1/2

Jeffries: We have an American president behaving like an organized crime boss, stealing taxpayer dollars in real-time in front of everyone in plain sight. And Republicans have nothing to say about the emerging crime scene at 1600 Pennsylvania avenue.

NEW: California Gov. Gavin Newsom just announced that he'll deploy the California National Guard and California Volunteers "on a humanitarian mission to support food banks as the federal government shutdown delays food benefits for millions of California families."
👍👏
Sen. Jeff Merkley has been speaking on the Senate floor since 6:20pm last night — protesting Trump and warning that "tyranny has arrived."

"Trump is shredding our Constitution. Is it okay for masked federal agents to arrest people off the street because of their skin color … Not in a free America."
Wow!
The worst thunderstorm I've ever experienced in my life has been happening over the last half hour. It's still striking very close by. I wish it would move away. 😨😳⛈️. Terrifying.
AZ AG Mayes: We have people in Arizona who are being actively harmed by Mike Johnson playing politics and apparently trying to protect the Epstein files. That’s not okay. We’re going to fight as hard as we can to put an end to it and to get Adelita Grijalva sworn in.
🙏
Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes and U.S. Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva sued the U.S. House on today over Speaker Mike Johnson's ongoing refusal to swear in Grijalva as the state's newest member of Congress.

Trump has appointed one of his sycophants, Will Scharf, as the head of the National Capital Planning Commission. Scharf has asserted that demolition work for the planned White House ballroom does not require NCPC approval. Frederic Adrian Delano is rolling in his grave!

We need to make these assholes infamous.
Clark Construction, McCrery Architects, and AECOM for their willingness to illegally demolish The White House without Approval from Congress and the National Capital Planning Commission
👍👏
BREAKING: A federal judge in Virginia has just ordered the Pentagon to restore books and curriculum that were removed from its schools following efforts by the Trump administration to weed out perceived “wokeness” from the military and education.
I just got it. The B squad. 🥰
What a happy bunch.
I despise the use of "surrendered" here. He went to court as a law abiding citizen. He's already gone back home.
Pretty sure this is going to be a NIMBY situation no matter where it goes.

Gavin Newsom signed SB 683 into law to protect performers against those who might replicate their image without consent.

“This is a clear statement that California stands with performers against AI abuse,” Sean Astin said.

Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."
Praying for those in US cities who are being harassed by 🍊🤡 and others.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

You're not inviting idea exchange. You're promoting a right wing MAGA racist as something normal and okay. It's not.
I meant shadow docket.
Right. Let me say about her comment: they let terrible things continue without a stop if they do the emergency docket. It could be years of these horrors before the SCOTUS gets around to making a "decision". She's a fool if she believes what she says.
