Text which reads:
“The East Wing of the White House in 1992
In September 2025, work began on a state ballroom expansion. During the construction, the East Wing is planned to be "modernized."[1]
[2][3) Social and touring visitors to the White House usually enter through the East Wing.
The East Wing was built on top of the Presidential Emergency Operations Center, a secure emergency underground shelter for the president. 4) As part of a major renovation project, demolition of the east wing began in October 2025 to accommodate the addition of a new state ballroom.
Visitors touring the White House entered through the wood-paneled lobby, where portraits of presidents and first ladies hung.
They went through the Garden Room and along the East Colonnade, which had a view of the Jacqueline Kennedy Garden, past the theater to the Visitors' Foyer.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:eq4nv72kn7eed5bxdmfwpa5x/bafkreigh6eh352mglqsdudjk3d76syqka7msuo35wvfzcbljfrmbs6mdty@jpeg)
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.

This op-ed published in the @nytimes.com by Stephen Witt thoughtfully captures the urgency and complexity of navigating AI's risks, but also my sincere conviction that technical solutions are possible — we still have agency and an opportunity to act.
