This is what Republicans voted for?

Per usual, Trump has lied about every aspect of this. He now says it'll cost 50% more than when he announced it. He now says it'll be much bigger than originally planned. He said he wouldn't touch the East Wing, and he's now demolishing it. He said he would accept input from US agencies, but hasn't.

It’s on his To Do list.

That's only 1.5% of what Kristi Noem's jets cost. America First, right?

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 guess people had short memories.

Genuine Democratic outrage at real scandals never gets the press saturation of performative Republican outrage at fake scandals.

Does lying about demolishing the entire East Wing of the White House with zero consultation with Congress, the National Park Service or anyone else something that will reach the low info voter who doesn’t watch the news? Will anything reach them?

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

PRECISELY. He is tearing our government down now in full view.

We had breakfast at a wonderful restaurant in Buellton, California and this was on the counter where you pay the bill. Trump’s economy is destroying American businesses 😡

The list is long... For @contrariannews.org Beat the algorithms. Follow my work on Substack: nickanderson.substack.com

“.. they are just grabbing people, putting them in cuffs,” said Kaden Cummings, 23, who witnessed the arrests. “Nobody’s identifying themselves .. There’s no due process .. It’s just straight to the back of a van if you’re African on Canal.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/10/21/n...

So the senator who is retiring condemns it and the two senators up for reelection wanting Trump’s endorsement won’t comment. Courageous and principled as always.

also how does the president have the right to demand that the DOJ (i.e. US taxpayers) give him money?

Mike Johnson has't made me want to be his kind of Christian, but he has made me believe in the concept of evil.

I am completely awestruck by the ease with which Mike Johnson lies on a daily basis. I'll never understand how such a transparently fraudulent "man of faith" can live with themselves. Life is too short to be that phony.

ACKMAN, on @cnbc.com this am: “Trump is the most pro-business President in history.” Everyone else:

So it's too expensive to extend health care tax credits that millions of families rely on but not too expensive to spend $200 million on private jets for Kristi Noem? These corrupt grifters are robbing taxpayers blind.

The WH steals people’s property constantly and never asks permission. Another example of Trump acting like a king.

Hard core truth from @andyostroy.bsky.social.

House Republican Leadership, everyone. They continue to roll out one nutjob after another. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Trump's deranged threat to fire federal workers and his killing of NY-NJ project are backfiring: Both are now big issues in VA-NJ gov races! And new CNBC poll shows indys blaming Trump/GOP over Dems by 58-21. On the pod, @simonwdc.bsky.social explains all this well: newrepublic.com/article/2019...

Yesterday, the United States had its biggest protest in history. But when I look at the New York Times website, I discover that it never happened.

This can’t be said often enough: Trump is selling out his most loyal voting block while bailing out somebody else’s. 📍Keep an eye on this: Trump’s intentionally sabotaging U.S. farmers. His billionaire buddies will benefit by acquiring their land on the cheap.

Trump posted an AI video last night of him wearing a crown, flying a jet and bombing protesters with shit. Yes, shit. Many U.S. media have ignored this latest example of Trump’s mental instability. Others have downplayed it. The response says a lot about why we’re in this mess. 🧵 1/

The media normalize the most twisted behavior if it's committed by Donald Trump. He has fully trained the media to forget what used to be normal before his insanity arrived.

Truth. 👎

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

Anyone smear their feces on the Capitol walls today? Beat up any cops with flag poles? Use mace or bear spray on them? At least tell me someone constructed makeshift gallows and threatened to hang the vice president? No? I hate to be the bearer of bad news. Y’all suck at political discourse.

This is the first day in forever that my feed was full of joy and wit instead of an unspeakable new horror every three hours.

So pathetic. It's quite clear there are at least hundreds of thousands of people out, and that's before half the country's marches even start. It will be in multiple millions. Again, the Times is just bad at this.

Wow, lots of American flags and peace . Sure doesn’t seem like people who hate America you absolute embarrassment Speaker Johnson

1. Washington DC #NoKings 👑

It’s going to take ages to pay all these people

Their project depends on making us all feel alone, isolated and powerless. Taking part in a protest destroys all of those feelings in an instant. Go.

To everyone participating in a No Kings protest today, thank you. Protest PEACEFULLY, look out for your neighbors, and use your voice. This is part of how we protect our democracy. There are NO KINGS in America! ❌👑🇺🇲

Trump trying to threaten us with artillery now. Show up today. #nokings

Seems bad. thehill.com/business/555...

All those former Pentagon reporters should cover No Kings today 🚫👑

Y'all are amazing. Keep blocking!
