Obama: As for the president, he has been focused on critical issues like paving over the rose garden so folks don't get mud on their shoes and gold plating the Oval Office and building a ballroom… If you can't visit a doctor, don't worry. He will save you a dance.

If it isn’t a “red herring,” why hasn’t Johnson seated the new congresswoman already?
Dem Congressman James Walkinshaw (VA) won a special election September 9, 2025; he was seated Sept 10.
Adelita S. Grijalva (AZ) won her special election Sept 23, 2025 but has yet to be seated.

ICE is hog tying protesters in Portland and removing them on Dollies.
This is dangerous and could cause serious injury.

They've just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they ve been trying to get, as you know, for about 150 years. And it's gonna be a beauty. Absolutely magnificent construction. We just started, so it'll get done very nicely.
