Lots of value in those White House roof slates if they’d been salvaged. Were the oak interiors taken out in the knowledge of demolition or just splintered? Was asbestos in the fabric and now blowing across DC?
"The president just doesn’t believe that any law applies to him, that he can destroy federal property, that he can steal from American citizens, that he can kill with impunity, that he can throw anyone in jail.

"Her screen capture also showed that there is a "stop work order" or "notices" on the East Wing construction."

…the White House would have needed to obtain a permit (for asbestos remediation) from Washington, D.C. In fact, there haven't been any permits requested for the project.
Well, f****ck.... 🫣☠️

“In July, Trump quietly appointed three of his own people to the Commission…"Trump’s decision to appoint his own loyalists to the agency is likely to exacerbate concerns about the lack of transparency surrounding the ballroom renovation.”

Here's a good summary from @altnps.bsky.social of how these govt projs are supposed to go. Includes exemption that Trump literally bulldozed through this wk.

Rather oddly, demo was a separate contract.

The Affordable Care Act became law in 2010

Since then, Republicans tried to repeal, replace, defund and overturn it

NEVER did they offer a viable alternative to it

Now-as health insurance costs are exploding-they’re terrified

Because it threatens their hegemony over the American body politic
COLLINS: If you have a healthcare plan, why not have that out there to talk about in the public so people can hear it?

MIKE JOHNSON: We need to get back to regular session so we can. We will not negotiate with legislative terrorists
Concur! 👍But, it should be done thoughtfully. If there ARE any materials that are WORTH salvaging (🙄I know, big "if"), they should be saved and donated to charity construction organizations.
The ballroom *has* to be torn down, because Trump has made it a symbol of an un-American, monarchial conception of the presidency.

@timmiller.bsky.social, @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social, and @jvl.bsky.social talk that and more in the latest episode of The Next Level!
Fine! It's the Epstein Wing. Happy?! 😏
Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

Stories that DHS doesn’t want you to hear.

Example #1: When U.S. citizen Leonardo Garcia Venegas filmed Trump's agents forcing his brother to the ground, he was roughly detained and handcuffed for over an hour.

They aren't going after "the worst of the worst"—they're assaulting citizens.

DHS says they “don’t arrest U.S. citizens for immigration enforcement.”

But at least 170 Americans they’ve detained know that’s not true.

Don’t ignore their stories.

If Trump can detain citizens—including combat Veterans—for days without cause, no one is safe from his whims.
Today's cross... 👩‍🍳💋 🤭
October 22 Pre Press Briefing meeting with @karolineleavitt.

Actual footage.
Been on my mind all day. There's a definitive correlation betwn his assault allegation history & what he’s doing to the WH. Inflicting unlawful violent destruction on a national symbol representing the existence & accomplishments of the leading women of America, all in service of his own pleasure.🤬
How long until the misogynist subtext of demolishing the East Wing becomes text?
Feels like a statement from a bipartisan group of former first ladies about the destruction of the east wing could capture some attention ...

All of these companies should be forever associated with destroying the White House.
UPDATE: More donors funding the demolition of the East Wing for Trump's $250M ballroom have been identified
It will be a very good day.
“I am already imagining the day when Trump’s billionaires ballroom is removed, the White House Rose Garden and the East Wing are restored, and the lawless leaders of this corrupt and criminal regime are held accountable.”

Confronting the Ongoing Onslaught
Trump's East Wing demolition, demands for $230 million and the ongoing murders in the Caribbean Sea are the latest reminders that we must remain vigilant and push back
