I can't really explain fully why this is the thing of all things that got my jaw on the floor but I guess it's such a literal symbol and also such a jaw dropping amount of money while small businesses are struggling to survive the tariffs

Such a visible "go fuck yourself"

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

White House begins demolishing East Wing facade to build Trump’s ballroom 👀😐🇺🇸

“He had claimed construction wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure.

Officials have separately said that the ballroom would replace the East Wing.”

Powerful, grubby men using their connections to cover their abuse of a trafficked teenage girl.

After all the revelations, it's never "not" shocking.

When I lived in NYC, I often traveled to MTL to see the Habs play the Rangers. A yearly birthday gift to myself.

King Henrik sat next to me once (he was the backup that night, IYKYK). I offered him a beer. He said thanks, but Torts would get mad, lol. Pretty cool guy and a funny moment.

Watching the NBC Nightly News "downplay" the attendance numbers of the #NoKingsDay parades across the country ("several thousand") is.... a vibe.

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative
