It's not unexpected that Trump is tearing down the part of the White House where the public visits and offices where actual government work gets done in favor of a ballroom which will be an empty room 90% of the time. Flash and no substance.

The White House said on Tuesday it would submit plans for the ballroom construction for review by the National Capital Planning Commission, which oversees federal construction in Washington and neighboring states, even though demolition had already begun 5/6

NewsNation is Fox News Light but they are shooting for the moon. In this misleading article they refer to the "homeless industrial complex" but they don't capitalize antifa. 🤔 NN is not helping.

Watching the demolition of the White House feels like a death. Trump is killing the precious beloved parts of our government.
I'm still stunned that he didn't have to have architectural and heritage approval before vandalizing our White House in this way.

Mike Johnson is ignoring the result of a certified election. The judicial branch should absolutely have the right to tell him to comply and give him a deadline. Like immediately. 🇺🇸

GOP is asking Dems, not to reopen the government, but to rubber stamp their heinous spending bill. A yes vote by Dems would validate that spending bill with priorities that are anathema to our own. If they want yes votes, then make a deal. Don't make healthcare too expensive for millions of people.

Phase 1 of Trump's plan didn't break new ground. Redux.
Phase 2 is going to take years. Disarming Hamas, identifying new leadership for Gaza, and assembling a multinational monitoring force are all very complex and volatile steps. If it all doesn't fall apart, it will take longer than 2028. IMHO
