Of course he lied. There would really be no place to put his humongous vanity project without taking out the East wing.

Breaking News: President Trump is having the White House’s entire East Wing demolished to make way for his $200 million ballroom. The project is far more extensive than he initially let on.

Kharkiv today. Russians hit a kindergarten. They did the same in Syria for many long years — we will never forget that. All solidarity with the Ukrainian children, their families, and loved ones who are enduring brutal Russian bombardment.

Whenever you hear someone invoke the unitary executive, remember the image below. This was an inevitable result of the unitary executive theory: Empowering a president to tyrannically destroy institutions that ensured our government reflects the rule of law rather than his personal whim.

It's not "budgetary Twister," it's willfully violating Article I, Section 9, Clause 7 of the Constitution. Just because President Trump chooses to ignore Article I, Section 9, Clause 7 does not mean that the NYT should pretend Article I, Section 9, Clause 7 does not exist.

If you keep lowering your standards to “win” against the other side, eventually you’ll just be on the other side

I agree with this. There are a lot of people out there who think both parties are the same and if Democrats put a show of pushing out people with Nazi tattoos and shitty text messages and abused employees then all of a sudden you're making inroads.

The White House heard the complaints Dismissed them as “manufactured outrage” And kept demolishing the East Wing on Tuesday New photo and update with @jonathanreports.bsky.social

The National Trust for Historic Preservation — a nonprofit created by Congress to help preserve historic buildings — also called Tuesday to pause demolition of the East Wing until Trump's project could go through a transparent review.

DOJ declined to bring charges against two people who threatened to kill @ericswalwell.bsky.social this year, @nbcnews.com reports: www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

So we’re now paying federal taxes so Donald Trump can withdraw them from the Treasury like it’s his own personal bank account? Really?

it's dizzying to me that stories like this -- a corrupt grift built on democracy-wrecking lies that culminated in a coup attempt -- barely breakthrough anymore. they're just daily background noise now.

Hey, John Roberts & Co., nice job. You give the guy immunity. You tell him the DoJ can be his personal law firm. And effectively you open up the U.S. Treasury to pillaging by the president himself.

this is going to be a partisan take but i dont think the president should be allowed to give himself $230M in taxpayer money www.nytimes.com/2025/10/21/u...

Looting the treasury

Sopranos bust out episode Literally looting the Treasury

Dems, I bet of you, STOP VOTING FOR TRUMP JUDGES JESUS FUCKING CHRIST

WELL HOW ABOUT THAT "A millionaire levy in Massachusetts has generated $3 billion more in revenue than expected without forcing significant high-profile departures from the state." www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

We are not releasing the files, but Trump's employees (including one who had to quit when it was discovered he gave a sweetheart deal to Epstein as prosecutor) vouch for him, so that should be good enough for you.

Here’s EDVa Interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan in action, texting secretly with lawyer-journalist @annabower.bsky.social — not smart; flirting with violating grand jury secrecy; maybe violating DOJ policy; leaking. An ethical AG would discipline, maybe fire, Halligan for this. But Pam Bondi.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification. I glanced down at the message. “Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began. So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/anna...

Of course he's not following the rules, but it's dangerous to get to resigned to and cynical about it

Just because he's acting like he's never leaving is no reason for you to act like he's never leaving.

The Democrats need to get a hell of a lot of cameras on the White House and plaster the photos everywhere. It's not just the brazen symbol of a megalomaniac destroying national heritage; it's happening during a government shutdown when ordinary people aren't getting paid. Make every American see it.

What Trump and Vance have done to our White House.

Really a picture that hits on the US' descent from rule of law to a personalist regime. Rule of law has process, the hoops you jump through to do something lawfully but which doesn't hallow something unlawful. And during a self-inflicted shutdown, no less. A savage picture that's great oppo copy

Hi judge expert here this isn't funny judges only do this when they're in extreme distress

"Given Portland protesters’ well-known penchant for wearing chicken suits, inflatable frog costumes, or nothing at all...observers may be tempted to view the majority’s ruling, which accepts the gov't’s characterization of Portland as a war zone, as merely absurd. But [it] is not merely absurd..."

Speaker of the House holding a formal presser to announce that Jesus is the king of everyone in the USA should be getting more attention

“I mean, Hitler’s already taken 40% of France, just leave it the way it is.”

Somehow people who found the goals of the “Tea Party” crystal clear just can’t wrap their heads around what “No Kings” is getting at.

Who robbed the Louvre? Right answers only

Well maybe you shouldn’t have raise the price 50% and then bailed out one of the countries that was absorbing the market you blew up for $40billion but that’s just me

Donald Trump won’t release the Epstein files because he raped children. Full stop.

Welp.

Don’t let the frogwater that’s boiling us alive let you skip over this: we murdered another country’s citizens in cold blood, and when their leader objected, we called him a drug dealer and cut off aid to his country. That’s freakish.

Q: "Trump authorized military strikes...in the Caribbean. 20 people have been killed in six different strikes. Do you believe these strikes are legal?" Sen. Rand Paul:" "No...These people have been blown up without us knowing their name or any evidence of a crime."

Dutch intelligence suspends sharing arrangements with the US after concluding that high level intel was routinely being shared by the White House with their friends in the Kremlin. www.volkskrant.nl/binnenland/n...

Without a doubt, this calls for an independent international investigation. I certainly do not trust the Trump administration, and I do not know enough about Colombia’s public media apparatus to trust them either.

My God. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

🚨 NEWS: Colombian President Gustavo Petro accuses U.S. government officials of murder and violating Colombia’s sovereignty and says the Trump-ordered strike of a boat in the Caribbean killed a fisherman named Alejandro Carranza.

Trump’s video seems like the fever dream of someone very self conscious about their loss of bowel control.

Retired Army Sgt. Brian Wofford spoke to me this morning at the Oklahoma City #NoKings protest. Didn’t expect him to be carrying his DD214 so I asked some warmup questions like when he got out and whether his injury was service-related. He paused while describing the car bomb in Iraq to say this:

"Mr. President sir the idea is you're constantly flying around in a big jet filled with your own shit in it. Like human shit. Anyways you're wearing a little crown in your little shitmobile and you're dumping the shit out. I think people will like it."

Pritzker: Throughout history we've learned that tyranny doesn't arrive with dramatic proclamations. Most times it comes quietly wrapped in the language of law and order, with fingers pointed at someone who doesn't look like you, promising safety while demanding that we sacrifice our neighbors.

this rocks. when indiana edu killed the student newspaper, Purdue stepped up, printed the forbidden issue, drove it to Bloomington and stocked the boxes.

Giant copy of the Constitution being carried down Pennsylvania Avenue.

The only explanation for this is that these people would disprove the administration’s narrative about the identity of the people we are murdering. I’m a little surprised they didn’t just straight-up murder these two in custody. That’s who the government is now.
