A not insignificant number of people knew the demolition was coming, including people at the White House Historical Association, and did nothing to stop it.

A recent AFP investigation caught the White House misrepresenting outdated footage from Florida, Texas, South Carolina, Nebraska and other states in a video that it claimed showed "Chicago is in chaos." Our new YouTube short shows a side-by-side of the deception: www.youtube.com/shorts/sKRcv...

Brought to you by the same voters who started losing faith in the government when government forces attacked the Branch Davidian complex in Waco in 1993 ....sigh

Here's a list of the dozens of CEOs, real estate moguls, defense contractors, telecom companies, Big Tech companies, crypto guys and otherwise really rich people financing the construction of Trump's ballroom as he demolishes the White House www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

"normies do not care about this thing and so it is no use raising a stink" is imho just an excuse for not doing politics, which is the job of making normies care about something

Conservative education activists such as Moms for Liberty co-founder Tiffany Justice have access to the top levers of the government. “If America’s public schools cease to exist tomorrow, America would be a better place,” Justice told ProPublica. @megomatz.bsky.social @jsmithrichards.bsky.social

Stable genius at work

Just disgusting.

Please be sure to remind anyone you know who is losing their healthcare, daycare, Special Ed, job in the green energy sector, or SNAP benefits that they're only cutting "Democrat programs." It's true. We wouldn't have any of these things if it weren't for Democrats, but how many people know that?

Anyone blaming Canada for not getting an agreement with this lunatic should shut it

Merkley: "What we've seen is that democracies no longer die bc men w/guns go in and take it over. Instead, it's electeds who erode the separation of power. If you have a rubber-stamp Congress & courts that deliver more power to the executive, suddenly you have an authoritarian state. It's here now."

Don’t laugh at this. Don’t dismiss it. They’re serious. Prepare for it. And get ready to fight against it.

this didn’t happen and if it did it is also impeachable

Sun-Times managed to get photographers to that botched raid as it unfolded and they did incredible and brave work capturing the scene — chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

the ballroom will never be built and he’ll just pocket whatever money he collects because he is a grifter first and foremost

Our fearless leader

Make Trump rich and he'll gladly pardon you for your crimes.   Most corrupt administration in history. Meanwhile, he doesn't give a damn if you can't afford health care next year.

Ad: This clip, then cutting to people waiting in food lines, then to Johnson saying he isn't familiar with X, Y, or Z, then cutting to U.S. citizens being arrested by masked goons, then a quote from Roberts and the immunity decision.

Play this audio over footage of ICE shooting pepper balls at priests' heads; inflation charts; and crying farmers whose crops are rotting away unsold, 24 hours a day on every medium. Democrats take the Senate.

Uhhhhh…

Not the WSJ having the only even moderately acceptable push alert here. NYT and NBC with basic journalism fails here.

The Art of the Deal.

A pardon "following months of efforts by Zhao to boost the Trump family’s own crypto company." Unprecedented corruption.

There is no bottom

No past administration has launched military operations at the same time it is conducting a vigorous, sustained, and broad based attack on the rule of law, the constitutional order, and the professional military like President Trump is. talkingpointsmemo.com/morning-memo...

I saw Eric Trump talk to a roomful of investors in Dubai today about his crypto ventures. The family is not remotely concerned about conflicts of interest. www.wsj.com/finance/curr...

So gambling is bad, except when it’s good like in Las Vegas or sports betting or crypto trading or "event trading", but otherwise it’s bad unless there's a Trump involved in which case it’s good. Or you’re black in which case it is always bad. www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/o...

Google is destroying the East Wing of the White House via an enormous disguised political donation

What no window?

If Trump next week unilaterally began to tear down part of the Washington Monument bcuz he didn’t like the way it looked, not one Republican would publicly oppose him. Not one. They’d all applaud or look away. Pathetic, yes. But you know I’m right.👇 open.substack.com/pub/socialco...

If given the chance, I'd lose my legs all over again to serve in our great military. The leader of your party is a five-time draft dodger who has fired more Veterans than any other president in our history. Square that circle then tell me who really hates our military.

I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of “what if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.

The US, but with socialist characteristics? "Trump Administration in Talks to Take Equity Stakes in Quantum-Computing Firms. Discussions signal Washington’s wider involvement in key parts of the economy" www.wsj.com/business/ent...

trump is demolishing our national symbols and selling the country for scrap to his corrupt donors

I am naive enough to believe that Trump’s transgressions are so blatantly against common sense and decency (let alone the rule of law) that American voters will eventually recoil and put this ugliness behind us. How much have you had to drink you ask? Two glasses of wine.

This. The president can't extort corporations to pay essentially taxes to him personally so that he can use that money at his personal discretion to do government work.

Well, well, well...

Because even liberal politicians & press are so used to treating Trump as the Great White Exception, they’re missing the scale of the crisis here. If Congress doesn’t impeach and remove Trump for straight-up plundering the Treasury, it will break the tax system. Millions will not file, will not pay.

Say the words: MAGA media takeover by Trump stooge Ellison

Republican Scott Leinendecker is now the “sole owner of Dominion” > making the deal contingent on “dropping”remaining lawsuits against OANN & “prominent conservatives.” Leiendecker told the Caller that “remaining litigation” w/ Mike Lindell, Rudy Giuliani & Sidney Powell will also be “dropped.” 1/

well i think naming a ballroom after your best friend is something to be celebrated tbh

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

New, from me: until recently there was strong bipartisan consensus that a nonpartisan civil service was good and that politicization was bad. Now views are more divided, with Republicans aligning with the pro-politicization actions of Trump. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/trump-has-...

This is very concerning. The military has always had policies about seeking approval for public statements, and freedom of speech is more limited than for the average citizen. But not being able to talk to Congress? That's a whole different ball game.

North Carolina’s GOP just enacted a new congressional gerrymander to win an 11-3 GOP majority in a swing state by targeting Black Dem Don Davis. They already gerrymandered a 10-4 edge in 2024 by replacing a fairer map that split 7-7 in 2022. Interactive map: davesredistricting.org/join/3f06a7f...

Leading historic preservation group urges Trump to halt the bulldozers currently demolishing the East Wing of the White House, warning his ballroom plans are going to "overwhelm" White House itself www.huffpost.com/entry/white-...

Pretty alarming when masked federal agents are taking an unknown number of demonstrators off the streets and even members of Congress can't find out what happened. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/federal...

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase. The President is building an army to attack his own country.
