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

Exactly! I would think there would be so much material that could be salvaged. It’s just criminal.

Here's the thing I don't understand. You can't as much as sneeze near a historic site in Washington without like 14 commissions, councils, and advisory boards giving you the okay. And everybody now is like...yup, fine with us? wtf?

NEW: After The Washington Post reported Monday on the demolition of the "East Wing facade," a new picture obtained by Law Dork that was taken on Tuesday shows that a substantial portion of the entirety of the East Wing has been demolished.

Trump destroying Eleanor Roosevelt‘s legacy (the east wing) feels a little on the nose.

the president has destroyed the east wing of the white house without so much as a word of input from anyone else to build a royal ballroom paid for with bribes

The Supreme Court announcing that a president cannot not be held criminally liable for virtually anything he does in office based on nothing in the text, structure, or history of the Constitution was extremely bad, IMHO

Many people are outraged that Trump is demolishing part of the White House. But of course Trump can't do it without help. It's ACECO LLC of Silver Spring MD ("full-service demolition") that is tearing down the People's House. You can call them and let them know how you feel. 1/

I’m just really trying to understand the contractor who thought, yeah a bulldozer to the White House, that’s the right approach. #WhiteHouse #Ballroom So horrifying, so many questions.

Scoop: Trump has started demolishing the White House's East Wing facade to build his ballroom. The president had claimed construction of the $250 million building wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure. /W @ddiamond.bsky.social wapo.st/4hqBNiU

Dozens of costumed roller skaters gathered in the south waterfront Thursday night, where they rolled their way down to the ICE building to create an impromptu roller rink and dance party.
