Mass federal layoffs. Food aid programs facing imminent disaster. Mounting recession indicators.

But while previous shutdowns saw late-night efforts at the White House to try and break the impasse, Trump administration officials are spending lavishly on self-serving priorities.

What shutdown?

Kristi Noem's new private jets. A shocking White House demolition. The Trump administration's gilded priorities are clear.

Agreed

He’s building something that’ll just be summarily demolished when he’s gone, as in this century—unlike prior ones—America mustn’t let sexual-predator insurrectionists build monuments to themselves, especially not when they take a wrecking ball to the People’s House (sans permission) to do it

I’m disgusted by the photos of Ttump’s demolition at the East Wing, but I’m even more sickened by the renderings of his mar-a-lago ballroom dwarfing our White House. Once we’re rid of this despicable man, that ballroom must also be removed.
