WASHINGTON (AP) — The entire White House East Wing has been demolished as Trump moves forward with ballroom construction, AP photos show.

We also made "The White House" into something of a personification.
We talk about "the White House today said XYZ."
Do we all know we mean "the people IN the building?" Sure. But we gave it a name and, to some extent, a state of being. That does things in our brain & our national identity.

civic religion is a thing and that’s the mfing temple right there
should it be, at long last, the thing that breaks the fever? probably not
but people really do care about buildings

We need a Dem president to trust bust the media
Hes going to dig a big ass hole get the entire Republican Party to defend it and then just die. A kind of a metaphor
The more I think about the Epstein Ballroom and the big dumb Arch, the less this feels like a guy intending to stick around and the more it feels like a guy desperately attempting to secure a legacy.
Funny you should say that. The President's daily schedule usually runs a few days ahead, but today it ends... today.

the ballroom will never be built and he’ll just pocket whatever money he collects because he is a grifter first and foremost
Trump raises the price of the ballroom to $350 million
(It changed from $200 million, then $300 million, now $350 million within the course of a few days)

Reporter: The president had initially said that this project wouldn't interfere with or touch the current structure.
Leavitt: If you look at the renderings, it's very clear the east wing was going to be modernized.
Reporter: But modernizing and tearing down are two different things.

Good: Jamie Raskin tells me he's formally demanding any/all internal communications between WH and DOJ on Trump's $230 million payoff.
More Dems should talk this way about Trump's criming. He's turning the presidency into a massive Bribe Delivery System.

Trump’s Vile New $230 Million Shakedown of DOJ Just Got Even Worse
It’s bad enough that Trump wants—and DOJ will likely fork over—this tribute payment. Now, get this: It can probably be done at first without even being revealed publicly.

FBI Director Kash Patel: "Instead of attacking the people at this table, maybe the media should go out there and talk to the lives that have been saved forever."
Stephen Miller: "Let me just say Mr President that this country was going to die without you. This country was going to actually die without you ... you alone saved it."

Trump: "I look the other night, Saturday night, Portland is burning to the ground and these people are saying it's just friendly stuff. The whole place is burning to the ground. So we'll take care of that one. That's like an insurrection more than it is anything else. Portland is crazy."

You cannot defeat authoritarianism with purity tests. If you are actively working to splinter a unified front against authoritarianism, you are the problem.
