As a matter of current law, could the president just…knock down the entire White House? Just raze the whole thing to the ground?

The funniest part is the notion that ranchers and farmers get to set their own prices.

They probably got a decent laugh out of that one. 🤡

This little item by Luke Broadwater on the abrupt, wholly unannounced destruction of a major component of the White House complex is a microcosm of the dysfunctional relationship the press has with this mendacious administration. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/10...

Senator Jeff Merkley just crossed 20 hours in his marathon floor speech on authoritarianism. He began speaking at 6:20pm yesterday.

We’ve updated our story with an additional comment provided by the United States Justice Department.

At 4:10 p.m., she texted me: "By the way-everything I ever sent you is off record. You're not a journalist so it's weird saying that but just letting you know."
I responded: "I'm sorry, but that's not how this works. You don't get to say that in retrospect."
Halligan was unpersuaded: "Yes I do. Off record."
"I am really sorry. I would have been happy to speak with you on an off the record basis had you asked," I said. "But you didn't ask, and I still haven't agreed to speak on that basis. Do you have any further comment for the story?
To my surprise, she kept going: "It's obvious the whole convo is off record. There's disappearing messages and it's on signal. What is your story? You never told me about a story."
I didn't respond. It was time to publish my story. I'll text it to her.
Postscript: Read the full exchange between Lindsey Halligan and Lawfare's Anna Bower here.

Highlighted text: “Hours after Lawfare published this article, Justice Department spokeswoman Natalie Baldassarre provided the following additional comment:

“Thank you for including my statement in your story. I just realized I spelled Lindsey's name wrong in the initial response, would you mind correcting?

Oh lord I hope you’re not holding your breath, cause your gonna die. He owns law enforcement. He owns the ruling government. That video he posted, he was wearing a crown. He believes he is the king and the SC crowned him last year.

There are "Notices or Stop Work Orders" on the White House demolition/construction, but they're still tearing down the East Wing.

I hate to suggest it, but let's start with the machine operators. They did the actual damage. Let their defense team produce the evidence of their authorization.

Then let's just climb the ladder.

The President might have immunity but it's for certain that his minions don't. Will the DOJ act?

Just watched an interview with Sen Blumenthal who said some of his republican colleagues are dismayed - DISMAYED - with what Trump is doing. They have the power to put a stop to this right NOW. But don’t have the balls or spine to be anything other than dis-fuxking-mayed. Beyond pathetic.

No one gave him permission to tear the entire historical East Wing. But he lied and did it anyway. That is most definitely government property, overseen by the National Park Service for one, and ultimately belonged to all US citizens.

FYI :“Destruction of federal property is a federal crime. 18 U.S. Code § 1361 defines the crime as willfully injuring or committing any depredation against U.S. government property. If the damage exceeds $1k it is a felony with a fine, up to ten years in prison or both.”

Awaiting law enforcement.
