Kind of inevitable that Lockheed Martin would help destroy the White House. Should have been obvious in retrospect

"strengthened Medicaid?" "lowered premiums?"

Are you kidding? Republicans passed the largest cut to Medicaid in history and thanks to their inaction premiums next year are set to more than double or even quadruple.

War is peace, huh?

BREAKING:

Jack Smith is requesting that Congress and the Justice Dept. let him testify in public.

In new letters to the House and Senate Judiciary Committees, Smith says he wants to testify "in open hearings" because of "the many mischaracterizations" around his investigations.

Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom

WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.

Q: This is the people's house. Why not inform the public when it was decided the East Wing would have to be demolished?

LEAVITT: We have informed all of you. We've been keeping you apprised of this project. We showed you renderings.
