A cartoon of Donald Trump in an excavator demolishing the White House. (The White house wall being destroyed has the text: AMERICA.) Cartoon Donald is saying: "When you're a star- they let you do it! You can do anything."

Donald Trump: "Congress let me do it. When you're famous and you're the GOP President, they let you do anything. You can grab them by the -----, bilk the U.S. government by the millions, take bribes for your ego projects, tear down the White House, break laws...."

It looks like the new Pentagon press corps has come together.

The inability of historic preservation to prevent the White House's facade from being torn down seems like it should prompt a discussion about historic preservation

Are the Epstein Files in the East Wing rubble by any chance?

Amazon Ballroom. As Americans gawk at the ongoing partial demolition of the White House’s storied East Wing (during a government shutdown & without regulatory approval), Big Business is giddy for the opportunity to write a check and get their names on a plaque in Trump’s new presidential ballroom.

Interested if anyone knows the status of the East Wing asbestos, lead, etc & if testing/mitigation steps are being taken to keep air quality & water run-off, etc safe.

These Qs come to mind....y'know, given the entire demo didn't bother w/proper approval steps & all. 🫩

Are you wondering why they’ve got fire hoses spraying the East Wing demolition work?

To keep down the asbestos- and lead-paint-containing debris.

The structure is over eighty years old.

Try doing _that_ in your suburban residential neighborhood teardown project!

Stop calling it a ballroom.

It's a bribe collection room.

Great news!

After significant pushback (including from our office), the USCG has agreed to leave all of Maine’s navigational aids in place.

When people raise their voices—when communities come together—it really does make a difference.

Thanks to everyone who spoke out. Your voices were heard!

Coast Guard will not remove buoys from Maine waters after pushback

The state stood to lose nearly 150 navigational aids as part of a regional Coast Guard plan to modernize in the era of GPS.

The National Trust for Historic Preservation warned that President Trump’s planned 90,000-square-foot ballroom would “overwhelm the White House itself,” which spans just 55,000 square feet. https://wapo.st/4hmL8rC

Trump never GIVES anything to charities, he STEALS from charities and others. He bilked the state of New York, he never gave veterans the money he promised, he stole tuition from students at Trump University, he never paid contractors who worked on many of his Trump projects, stole U.S. documents...

The optics of Trump building a ballroom that 99.9% of Americans will never set foot in while millions line up for food banks are worth more than any policy paper or economic proposal. This image is a visceral punch in the mouth that needs no words. It should haunt the GOP for a generation.

Mike Johnson breaks the biblical Commandment against lying every day. He never practices the religiosity that he preaches.

We’ve received a lot of questions about Trump’s demolition of the White House East Wing.

Here’s how the process is supposed to work:

the president has destroyed the east wing of the white house without so much as a word of input from anyone else to build a royal ballroom paid for with bribes

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.
