Dear republican congressman:

You just got another week off, you have absolutely no plans since you were going to be in dc.

How about some town halls? If you do three, that’s a total of 6 hours of work the whole week. Easy peasy!

If a temporary resident of the White House can totally demolish the East Wing to build a gaudy ballroom, without any authority, approval, or regulation, he can tear down the rest of the White House to build a Walmart. That this destruction is allowed underscores how off the rails our country is now.

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.

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.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 79th day out of the last 91.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.
