NEW: After The Washington Post reported Monday on the demolition of the "East Wing facade," a new picture obtained by Law Dork that was taken on Tuesday shows that a substantial portion of the entirety of the East Wing has been demolished.
EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.
I glanced down at the message.
“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.
So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

Scoop: Trump has started demolishing the White House's East Wing facade to build his ballroom. The president had claimed construction of the $250 million building wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure. /W @ddiamond.bsky.social wapo.st/4hqBNiU

Mike Johnson: "The irony was that they called it the No Kings Rally, but if President Trump was a king, the government would be open. If President Trump was a king, he would've closed the nationals parks and the National Mall so they couldn't of had the rally out here."

Out tomorrow AM. This episode has two distinct halves.
Come to hear Mike and I riff on MAGA's fumbling attempt to convince America that "Antifa" (as they describe it) is a top national security threat. Stay for the conversation about a racist dystopian novel that has inspired actual terrorists.

On Monday's episode, @michaelehayden.bsky.social and I talk about MAGA's search for "Antifa terrorists." It doesn't seem to be going well.
Then, we look at "The Turner Diaries" -- the Bible for white supremacist terrorists -- and hear from the author's son.

RFK is undoing human subjects protections so he can conduct placebo trials of vaccines. That means infecting people knowingly. I wonder who will “volunteer” for these trials? If history is any guide, a lot of incarcerated and other powerless people.
Dismantling the Institutional Review Board (IRB), that oversees all human subjects research, is bad. Really bad.
Oh it’s not appropriate for your program to air the president wearing a crown and shitting on American citizens?
You’ll talk about it in euphemisms? Maybe call it the “crown video” and ignore the shitting part? Because that’s appropriate?
Tell me, was it appropriate for the president to do it?

Petro objected to the US bombing a Columbian fishing vessel that had the emergency beacon on because they were broken down, that we subsequently bombed. One Columbian fisherman survived the attack.
This is the official US response to Petro's comments.
