Trump is demanding DOJ pay him $230 million for investigating him.

At this point, he’s just seeing how much blatant corruption the GOP will sign off on.

The Inspector General system is basically broken now. Most IGs have been fired, most positions remain vacant. Those who remain or would take the job pose no risk to holding the regime accountable.
Congress added more barriers to Trump firing IGs after his first term. He just ignored them.

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.

For the sake of posterity I thought I'd do a thread on all the epically stupid things Trump has done in recent days.

1) Let them eat ballroom

www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

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.

REPUBLICANS HAVE S200 MILLION FOR A BALLROOM, S1 BILLION FOR A NEW JET AND S72 MILLION FOR ENDLESS GOLF TRIPS. THEY HAVE MONEY TO GIVE ICE $50,000 BONUSES.
THEY HAVE S1 MILLION PER DAY TO OCCUPY AMERICAN CITIES. THEY HAVE S3.8 BILLION TO SEND ISRAEL WEAPONS AND $40 BILLION TO BAILOUT ARGENTINA.
BUT THERE'S NO MONEY FOR HEALTHCARE.

Federal workers aren’t getting paid, but of course Kristi Noem gets two private jets costing taxpayers $172 million.

Nothing new from the people who are also sending $40 billion to Argentina while refusing to fund our own government. Shameful.

Speaking of "hate America," this guy and his GOP colleagues are smirking about rejecting the will of the American people. The Americans of Arizona's 7th district chose to send Grijalva to Congress but the GOP hates the majority of Americans and refuse to let them have any say in government.

People think if you’re disabled your family must support you

They don’t understand how many folks are on their own

How many have families who can’t support them for various reasons

Everyone deserves help

Having your basic needs met is not “frivolous”

Lacking family shouldn’t be a death sentence

There is an actual life-changing conflict between WFH being cheaper and more efficient, an entire layer of middle managers who need to have meetings to feel alive, and the commercial real estate cabal that runs all cities. It’s going to get so fucking weird.

remote work is like birth control or UBI atp where there’s overwhelming research consensus they improve quality of life for people they apply to, yet access is impeded or blocked by the ruling class because the thought of marginalized ppl having rich full lives makes steam come out their ears

2. Rolling Stone is owned by a large media conglomerate, which is ending remote work across its brands.

My home is Portland, Oregon, ~1,000 miles from the nearest office, so this marks the end of the line for me at RS.

Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that.

No phones, no staff, nothing.

I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!

Johnson: "Grijalva should be working for her constituents right now. I don't know what she's doing. I keep seeing their political stunt videos. She should be in her office. She should be working or in the district for her constituents" (Grijalva is not in fact a Rep. b/c Johnson refuses to seat her)

Please remember that many disabled people won’t be at the No Kings rallies tomorrow.

A lot of the planned events are not accessible and/or disabled people are not safe or well enough to attend.

Anything you can do to increase accessibility and inclusion will help the resistance!

Open enrollment for ACA plans began yesterday in Idaho.

One couple got notice that their monthly premium next year would jump from $51 to $2,232 as subsidies expire.

25,000 Idahoans are expected to be priced out of coverage.

This is what's at stake in Trump's shutdown.
