I can’t believe there are not one but two articles, in major papers, with this dumb framing. It is not NIMBY to express dismay when a big part of the White House is suddenly rubbled

Mellon is (in addition to all these things) reportedly obsessed with Amelia Earhart, which might explain why Trump is releasing those documents (besides covering for the whole raping children with Jeff Epstein thing)

1. Here are some facts about the guy, Timothy Mellon, who donated $130 million so Trump could pay the troops during the government shutdown.

4. According to Mellon, who inherited his fortune, "[t]he largess is funded by the hardworking folks, fewer and fewer in number, who are too honest or too proud to allow themselves to sink into this morass.”

3. Mellon derided programs intended to lift people out of poverty as "Slavery Redux." Mellon claimed that in exchange for "delivering their votes in the Federal Elections, they are awarded with yet more and more freebies: food stamps, cell phones, WIC payments, Obamacare, and on, and on, and on"

2. In his self-published 2015 autobiography, Mellon writes that Black people have become "even more belligerent and unwilling to pitch in to improve their own situations" after social safety net programs were expanded in the 1960s and 1970s.

New York Times reports that it is unclear whether having a federal agency accept money in excess of congressional appropriations "violates a law prohibiting federal agencies from accepting money in excess of congressional appropriations." I guess we'll never know!

The president said today that a donor had given the government $130 million to help pay troops during the government shutdown. He declined to name the donor, but described him as a “patriot” and a personal friend.

If evenly distributed, the money would pay only about $100 to each service member. But is not yet clear how the money will be used, or whether the donation violates a law prohibiting federal agencies from accepting money in excess of congressional appropriations.

In Chicago, IL, a peacefully protesting pastor was also shot in the head with a projectile.

This is how oligarchs wind up helping tyrants and get favors back for it.

A tweet from Matthew Gertz reads: “The Orbanization of the U.S. media is happening in plain sight, with the president using regulatory power to direct the sales of news outlets to his wealthy allies.” It quotes a post from Charles Gasparino reporting that a Trump administration official said the government favors Paramount Skydance in acquiring Warner Bros. Discovery, with regulatory obstacles planned for rival bidders.

It's clear from today's AP photos that Trump has entirely demolished the East Colonnade—added to the White House by Thomas Jefferson in 1805—and restored by Theodore Roosevelt in 1902.

The East Colonnade didn't occupy the footprint of the Trump "ballroom"—its demolition was completely unnecessary.

Diagrams showing the evolution of Thomas Jefferson's low east and west terrace colonnades from 1803 to 1819.
Both the east and west terrace colonnades were set half-underground to be visually subservient to the White House main building, and were inspired by Jefferson's similar design at Monticello.
