What happened to all the art, furniture and priceless historical treasures that were in the East Wing?

Did Trump just give it away to his buddies? Is it at Mar-a-Lago? Did Jared and Ivana just help themselves to it?

No one knows

Valve has crashed the Steam marketplace, by introducing the ability to trade-in five low value items for one high-value, making some people lose thousands overnight.

For those that don't know, CSGO has an entire economy with real-money trading.

Just disgusting.

A screenshot of a post on X that reads:

Cuomo, talking to conservative radio host Sid Rosenberg this morning:

"God forbid, another 9/11—can you imagine Mamdani in the seat?" Cuomo asks.

"He'd be cheering," Rosenberg says.

Cuomo paused and chuckled before saying: "That's another problem."

You say we failed but I bet if we throw down another $20B, I’m sure we’ll win this time and make back what we lost!

Interesting

Lots of attention on Maine's Senate race next year, but, again, if you're thinking about that, you really need to help make sure Leonard Leo's ballot measure to make voting harder - and to help his pal Susan Collins - doesn't pass on Nov 4

New poll: UNH finds that November’s ballot measure in Maine that would greatly restrict mail voting, and impose voter ID, is *very* tight.

It’s 49% no, 48% yes. scholars.unh.edu/survey_cente...

One of the most suspenseful elections on November 4.

🇭🇺 Hungary’s 1956 uprising against Soviet rule began on October 23 with mass protests.

I’ve been thinking about this a lot over the last several months, and Graff nails the thought: “It turns out, in the end, that there’s only one check and balance that actually matters: Good character. Everything else in a constitutional system follows and relies on that simple foundation.”

Garrett M. Graff @vermontgmg.bsky.social · 1d

The destruction of the East Wing is a reminder that America has violated the only check-and-balance that actually ends up mattering: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/the-only-c...

I don’t see this ending until either after the November elections in PA, NJ, VA or when ACA recipients see the sticker shock of their 2026 rates when open enrollment starts next month.

absolutely shameful that the university has embraced the administration’s demand that it discriminate against its students. this is the board of visitors telling UVA students that if they aren’t white and cisgendered then they don’t belong.

The University of Virginia has capitulated to Trump on transgender and race (affirmative action) issues.

The details are currently sparse, but reporting suggests they've agreed to define trans people out of existence and ban trans students from facilities.
www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

That includes any race-based scholarships and programs, including any promotion of external scholarships that consider race, and DEI trainings and workshops. Institutions were also told they should no longer prioritize “underrepresented groups” for admissions or hiring, and they must prohibit transgender students from playing on sports teams and using facilities designated for women and girls.

It's amazing that the White House and Capitol Building, the two principal structures which functionally and symbolically represent civilian government in the United States, stood against even the prospect of harm for two centuries until Donald Trump intentionally desecrated both of them.

The TV show “The West Wing” is dated in another way now.

With the east wing of the White House gone, it’s now gonna be known as “The Wing.”
