The last thing that Trump regime wants is an open hearing with Jack Smith testifying under oath.

This is the way.

Let's find out what Trump has been hiding, how he abused his powers to do it, and the actions of all the enablers...that don't have immunity.

"The National Trust for Historic Preservation, a nonprofit created by Congress to help preserve historic buildings, said Tuesday that Trump's 90,000-square-foot, $250 million ballroom would 'overwhelm the White House itself,' which is about 55,000 square feet..."

Trump's Ballroom Will 'Overwhelm' White House, National Trust Warns

Preservationists fear for how Trump's planned 90,000-square-foot ballroom will sit alongside the White House itself, which is about 55,000 square feet.

Remember when a tan suit made explosive headlines?
When simply painting basketball lines on the White House tennis court raised eyebrows?
If that once stirred outrage, but tearing down part of the White House for a golden ballroom draws a shrug, what does that say about where we are now?

exactly.
they are sitting on their hands while this guy destroys everything around him.

If republicans are fine with this, is there any reason why he couldn't just... knock down the lincoln memorial? or the vietnam wall?

What else might he want to do to arlington cemetary besides putting his big weird french arch with gold dingleberries in front of it?

It’s not just the facade: Team Trump has wrecked much of the White House’s East Wing

By Tuesday afternoon, it appeared obvious that a significant portion of the East Wing has been demolished, the president's earlier vows notwithstanding.

Texas Republicans are forcing a vote on their rigged election maps.

If they knew they could win the election — they wouldn’t be stealing 5 congressional seats.

This is a blatant, racist power grab.

Buttigieg: This is about political revenge. The president has been very clear about that. And the really dangerous thing is the revenge is on you—on ordinary Americans and commuters who depend on these tunnels.

This iconic photo…

On the night he made history, Obama reached for his mother-in-law’s hand.

Michelle later wrote in Becoming that her mom felt his loneliness that night. His father gone since he was 2, his mother and grandmother both passed. Marian said she could feel the “gravity of the passage”

AOC: You're damn right that it's a Democratic priority to keep people from getting poisoned, from dangerous chemicals

You're damn right that it's a Democratic priority to bring down the cost of housing

If they want to say that that's a Democratic priority, they're right,

Let us not forget that Texas 18th Congressional District is also unrepresented after Sylvester Turner's death. Abbott could have called a special election but instead is allowing the seat to remain empty until November 2025. No representation! www.texastribune.org/2025/03/05/s...

Congressman and former Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner dies

Turner’s death comes two months into his first term representing Texas’ 18th Congressional District, the seat long occupied by former U.S. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, who also died in office last year am...

Sending 20 billion to bail out Argentina while our own people lose healthcare and our children lose school lunches. Because of the absurd tariff war, we are pushing China into Argentina’s fields to buy soybeans that once came from our American farmers. What are we doing, and why are we doing it?
