Dozens and dozens of clergy members pouring into the parking lot at the Bishop Whipple building. They just keep coming ❤️

A president who can tear down 1/3 of the White House can tear down the entire White House. A president who can steal $230M from the treasury can steal $1T from the Treasury. We have both legalized and tolerated Trump’s crimes, so they will only get bigger.

Isn’t the presidential bunker on that side? Because I can’t even imagine the potential CI issues

Hope you all are having a blessed Thursday

So to be clear, the ICE fascists violently deporting 70-year-old immigrants because they allegedly forgot to check a box 15 years ago, themselves fail basic reqs so badly that the 13 week ICE training is now 6 weeks, & people with criminal records who'd otherwise be banned, are leading these raids.🤦🏽‍♂️

It's the most iconic and historically significant building in the country, a national symbol right up there with the Statue of Liberty and the Liberty Bell, so... yeah, people are disturbed by seeing a large chunk of it suddenly bulldozed on the mad king's whim.

"I'll die for this shit... This is my village."

Inside the Hermitage, the winter palace where Tsar Nicholas II and his family lived before they were executed—in a country where Russians were starving.

Brian Schatz: "This is not about money. There is enough money to bail out Argentina with $20b. There is enough money to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173m for Noem. There is enough money to renovate the WH ballroom. What there isn't enough money for under this Republican government is you."

Can I ask, what did the No Kings protest actually accomplish? I mean, in real terms, what have these protests materially changed? I can't help but feel these one off protests are merely a heatsink for energy and anger rather than a path for meaningful change and disruption of the system.

it is very funny to start tearing down your own house

This is a very important thing to remember.

Get on the offensive. Tell Americans that when we win, there are ways to actually fix things and build the political will to do it.

“We will rebuild the White House as it was and pay for it by seizing assets from Trump, the Trump Organization, and his family.”

FYI :“Destruction of federal property is a federal crime. 18 U.S. Code § 1361 defines the crime as willfully injuring or committing any depredation against U.S. government property. If the damage exceeds $1k it is a felony with a fine, up to ten years in prison or both.” Awaiting law enforcement.

There's a world where a president whose term overlaps with the 250th anniversary of independence announces that he wants a WH extension to celebrate. He goes to Congress and gets bipartisan buy-in. Maybe it's part of other big 250th projects with public-private funding. And it's popular. (1/2)

Don't sleep on the way that Trump/Vought have systematically eliminated US defenses against cyberattacks, including -- here -- on critical infrastructure.

Remember what’s coming: first, kill Affordable Care credits, doubling costs for tens of millions; then, cut Medicare half a trillion (sleazily, automatically) hurting seniors; then cut Medicaid by a trillion, pounding doctors, hospitals and nursing homes. It’s why we fight.

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

it just seems like, maybe the president is trying to seize dictatorial control of the government, you could just try to say no wherever and however you can.

Trump 1.0: Operation Warp Speed Trump 2.0: Operation Wormhole

Sunday President diarrheas on the country, Monday President bulldozes White House, Tuesday President steals $230 million, Wednesday President... fucks a horse? Let's see if he fucks a horse.

“Can you imagine if Obama had bulldozed the W…” NO. We just need leaders who respond the way Republicans would have responded if Obama had bulldozed the White House to build himself a palace ballroom. Removal from office. Criminal prosecution. Confiscate Mar a Lago. Sell it to finance rebuilding.

I am a single issue voter and that issue is I want the Republican Party in federal prison.

this is the moderate position

Trump will prosecute Swalwell before he prosecutes the people threatening to murder him

"...the plan would mean significant cuts to the National Park Service at the regional level, eliminating, for instance, 31% of positions in the Southeast region, 29% in the Pacific region, and 28% in the Northeast region.

lol, what are we doing? The government is shut down, the White House is being demolished, food stamps and health care are supposedly going to be cut in two weeks, c’mon, Klobuchar

A bigger ballroom = more people = more expense for the taxpayers. They want to cut food benefits for poor people while also wanting the ability to host larger, more frequent fancy dinners at the White House.

Yet Trump ignored every step, acting unilaterally through executive order, bypassing oversight, and ordering demolition as if he were a monarch. The result: the people’s house, altered without the people’s consent.

I generally think we should be much harder on ppl running for office who plead ignorance about their own dumb choices because we should not be giving incurious, uninformed, glib adult children power to govern. Some “youthful follies” are signposts for a person’s lack of growth.

These buffoons have zero idea how explosive this is. This is a criminal conspiracy implicating both parties at the highest levels of the United States government, as well as large swaths of the entire ruling class. And no matter how much they distract everyone, the truth is getting exposed.

Once you realize the NYT is trying to help him you can’t stop seeing it

I think the one-two punch of pouring shit on the country and destroying its history reverberates, especially since every institution in the US continues to lionize these openly treasonous mobsters as the only Americans who truly deserve citizenship.

I mean this is viscerally upsetting because it's really genuinely him treating the white house like it's his own personal property; he's the king and it's his palace. No other president ever thought like this, even if they were a fucking horrible person, because it goes against our founding creed

it's weird how rich guys will happily pour billions into argentina bailouts and white house ballrooms and all kinds of government priorities but if you suggest that they should be taxed more that's violence

I think it’s sick how the President is both physically and symbolically destroying every single icon of America. This is great. I like how things are going. I love living through national decline.

“As construction proceeds on the White House grounds, employees should refrain from taking and sharing photographs of the grounds, to include the East Wing, without prior approval” — Warning letter from Treasury official 🎁 link www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Still appalled at how paltry and terrible the NYT coverage of the protests were and how nobody there feels any responsibility to address the criticism. This was not something that caught them off guard. This was many levels of decisions.

Trump claims he can “do whatever I want” in D.C., even replace the mayor. Legally, that’s false, but rhetorically, it’s revealing. He’s describing absolute power, and it's an autocratic mindset of someone who sees democracy as a formality.

Essential work during the shutdown includes dismantling the White House

There used to be entire architectural associations whose whole purpose was to lose their minds when someone tried to change the way the White House looked. Taller fence? Gasp! Close the street in front? Quelle horreur! Where'd they vanish to?

just to break down the profoundly degraded discursive state we're in PROTESTORS: the president is not a king! no kings in this country! PRESIDENT: [posts video of self in crown, shitting on citizens] PRESIDENT'S FRIEND: there is a king. King Jesus NOBODY IN PRESS ROOM: you've missed the point

New in PN: No Kings was a huge success. Just look at Trump's response. "Calling this movement 'No Kings' turns out to have been a stroke of genius, because Trump’s response was to essentially say *Yeah, I’m the king — and because I’m the king, I can poop on people!*"

Per @politico.com , the lobbyists are basically treating Article I as dead.

Now is the time of monsters.

The people guarding the US nuclear stockpile are being furloughed today. Meanwhile, Trump deemed those who helped him start trolling accounts on Bluesky and who disseminated his shitpost over the weekend essential. edition.cnn.com/2025/10/19/p...

The president of the United States posted a video of him defecating on the American people. Many in my profession normalized it. This is a big reason why we are where we are.
