How the fuck does a ballroom cost $250 million?

That's like 2800 per square foot.

This is such top-tier dictator shit with Google, Apple, Palantir etc. adding their Nazi salutes to Trump's East Wing demolition.

Guarantee every dime of it is going to a Trump offshore account.

Why is Apple, Microsoft, Lockheed Martin, Blackstone, Google, OpenAI, Amazon and others financing the destruction of the WH and desecration of the grounds, something that is infuriating to huge chunk of the American population? Do you hate your customers that much?

Maybe we can have the bulldozer operator arrested. He’ll say he’s an employee, etc., but we can tie it up in red tape and make the contractor refuse to continue.

He’s demolishing THE WHOLE EAST WING for his tacky, $300 million dollar ballroom.

Not since the War of 1812 has an enemy of the United States caused this much damage to the White House.

This matters not in the least. It’s an unobservable bit of speculation. We’re dealing with reality.

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

This lawsuit, which demands that the House of Representatives finally seat Rep. Adelita Grijalva, has, um, fairly major implications for our democracy's survival in 2026 and beyond. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This case is about whether someone duly elected to the House – who indisputably
meets the constitutional qualifications of the office – may be denied her rightful office simply
because the Speaker has decided to keep the House out of “regular session.”
2. If the Speaker were granted that authority, he could thwart the peoples’ choice of
who should represent them in Congress by denying them representation for a significant portion
of the two-year term provided by the Constitution.
3. Fortunately, the Constitution does not give that authority to the Speaker—or anyone
else

If Bill Clinton is on that list, I hope he gets thrown in jail with the rest of them. That's the difference between them and us: we hold our own to the same standards we hold them to, and they have no standards.

You may be right -- and I'm too busy to research it, either! But I'm putting in my time writing postcards to voters, urging them to vote YES.
