Whatever you think of the White House as a building or a symbol, the fact is that the image of it being torn apart on a whim two days after 7 million people hit the streets against autocracy is going to make a HUGE amount of people really, really angry, and that's an energy that should be harnessed.

Moskowitz: We need $30 billion to extend, obviously, these healthcare subsidies, which allow Americans—Americans, not illegal—Americans, citizens, to afford healthcare.

And the president’s like, “We don’t have $30 billion, but I am going to send $40 billion to my dear friend in Argentina.”

Building President Trump’s $200 Million White House Ballroom

Giving ICE tens of millions of dollars, daily

Trump's MAGATS are full of hate. We gave them 7 million reasons to look at what they have become. Violent REPUBLICANS.

Yeah. So The White House
is designated a National Historic Landmark.

That means:

It’s formally recognized as having exceptional national historical significance.

Any substantial changes, demolitions, or new construction affecting it are tightly restricted.

It’s not his house! WTF.

We’re two weeks into a shutdown and the GOP’s still pretending it’s strategy. It’s not strategy — it’s sabotage. They’d rather break the country than share credit with Democrats for fixing it.

This reinforces my belief that America is not only the dream of Americans. It is the dream of humanity. This experiment in multicultural, multiethinic democratic government is the dream of all people. It's not perfect,but freedom is worth the struggle. All of children deserve to live free. Stand up!

The MAGA crowd seems very triggered that yesterday’s protest was historic, their comments are everywhere. In total, 22 MAGA individuals were arrested for attempting to attack peaceful protesters. Arrests were made in OH, KY, CA, SC, NC, MI, OR, FL, VA, TX, and PA.
