Wait, what?
#ICE

Senator Chris Larson @senchrislarson.bsky.social · 1d

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.

The President is building an army to attack his own country.

How is it legal under historic preservation laws? And probably several other laws. Where are the lawsuits blocking this? #WhiteHouse #ballroom

Chris Hayes @chrislhayes.bsky.social · 19h

Asking earnestly, how is the ballroom project at all legal under the Anti Deficiency Act?

No image has ever spoken so succinctly about the current situation in the US.

The white house, a gaping wound in the east wing. It looks like a ruin or a mound of garbage

This is insane.

“It won’t interfere with the current building. It’ll be near it but not touching it — and pays total respect to the existing building, which I’m the biggest fan of," Trump said in July. “It’s my favorite. It’s my favorite place. I love it.”

White House begins demolishing East Wing facade to build Trump’s ballroom

The president had claimed construction of the $250 million ballroom wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure.

“I could not in light of these firm and repeated commitments carry out your direction.”

October 20: On this day in 1973, Elliot Richardson set the example we need in 2025.

Rather than accede to a president’s personal interference in the Department of Justice, the Attorney General resigned.

When Trump announced 4 days ago randomly that India agreed to stop buying Russia oil, I was surprised because Russia is their largest supplier, we are still in a trade war with India, and their govt has said nothing about it. Turns out he just lied and made it up. Shocker.

🚨 NEWS: Colombian President Gustavo Petro accuses U.S. government officials of murder and violating Colombia’s sovereignty and says the Trump-ordered strike of a boat in the Caribbean killed a fisherman named Alejandro Carranza.

Screenshot of a post on X from Colombian President Gustavo Petro’s verified account. The post reads: “US government officials have committed a murder and violated our sovereignty in territorial waters. Fisherman Alejandro Carranza had no ties to the drug trade and his daily activity was fishing. The Colombian boat was adrift and had its distress signal up due to an engine failure. We await explanations from the US government.”

"Gov. Ron DeSantis, now 47, says people his age and a little bit older can get by without much preventive care."

I trust my auto mechanic more for healthcare advice than I do Ron DeSantis.
