Exclusive: President Trump has argued with the architect he handpicked to design a White House ballroom over the size of the project, reflecting a conflict between architectural norms and Trump’s grandiose aesthetic.
Trump wants a bigger White House ballroom. His architect disagrees.
The president and James McCrery had argued in recent weeks over the project’s size, with Trump pushing him to expand the ballroom.

The Know Your Enemy episode featuring McMansion Hell author @katewagner.wehwalt.net was really good if you're interested in the architecture discipline's role in all of this.

One of my favorite takes on this website by the Ball Knowers was that the year plus of cracking down on anti-genocide youth movements in this country, on campuses and otherwise, had no effects whatsoever on turnouts come November nor in general for mobilization etc. Goldfish levels of myopia.
I think @brendannyhan.bsky.social is exactly right in this piece, but I’d go one step further here. Elites very explicitly told young people to sit down and shut up. Society punished them for standing up for their beliefs, and targeted and vilified the organizers. Now we need need them.
