58 years ago today, The Beatles released Sgt. Pepper.

5 months later, The Carol Burnett Show did a tribute with Carol, Gwen Verdon, Bobbie Gentry and Phyllis Diller.

"This is, needless to say, not a good development. But it is still one that opens up opportunities the political opposition can and must exploit. He’s increasingly reckless, acting like someone who is free from any consequences .... The reality is that Trump is deeply unpopular."

This is gone now. The East Wing lobby two years ago.

This is what it used to look like inside the lobby area.

If Obama said he “wouldn’t interfere” with the structure but then had torn down almost the entire East Wing of the White House without approval…

This makes me physically ill. I bet you agree.

"Trump’s plan to add a ballroom to the WH means the demolition of the entire East Wing, which was expected to be fully torn down by this weekend. Trump had pledged that the East Wing would not be touched by the construction."

For everyone defending a $250 million ballroom paid for by pay-to-play favors while millions worry about if they’ll be able to afford health care…what’s the first thing you’re going to do when you’re invited?

One day the White House “ballroom” will be a museum cataloguing this country’s descent into autocracy, including horrors we have yet to see.

In the audience tonight is Charlotte Bennett, one of the 13 women that Andrew Cuomo is credibly alleged to have sexually harassed while they worked in his government.

She can't speak for herself because Cuomo's lawyers have hounded her.

So I confronted him.

Honestly this is what I see coming. Some kind of pay to play or ability to “rent” the ballroom for your special events, etc. It will be dumber and grosser than you ever imagined.

The Epstein Ballroom

JaySinWA is Spooked @jaysinwa.bsky.social · 8h

It is absolutely not the Epstein Ballroom, don't put it in print that it is the Epstein Ballroom. Trump would not like it if you did call it the Epstein Ballroom, because it just isn't.

Jen Taub @jentaub.bsky.social · 9h

Epstein Ballroom. That's what it is.
