Ben Meiselas calls on those with standing to act: seek an injunction to halt Trump’s White House ballroom. Argue fraud—Trump claimed he’d pay and not alter the structure—and use the damage to the East Wing as the emergency basis. Demand discovery now.

JUST IN: The White House has begun DEMOLISHING portions of the East Wing of the White House to build Trump’s $250 million ballroom — despite earlier claiming it wouldn’t “interfere” with the existing White House structure. (Washington Post)

This is a desecration and an abomination. First he posts an AI video of himself wearing a crown and dumping shit on the heads of Americans, then he starts tearing down part of the White House for his Mar-a-Lago style ballroom.

First he paved over the beautiful Rose Garden. Now he destroyed the East Wing of the White House to put up a $250 million gawdy gold ballroom. 😡😡😡

Ordered to lie, fired when he refused.

My thoughts on the 60 Minutes interview of former DOJ attorney turned whistleblower, Erez Reuveni, and why any prosecution in the Trump Regime must be viewed with skepticism, if not outright disgust.

Blaming baby boomers for the problems of younger generations is popular in elite media, but it is not serious analysis. The problem is the rich and the generational stuff is a distraction deanbaker22.substack.com/p/my-generat...

My Generation: Blame the Rich, not the Boomers

Blaming a generational grouping is a coverup, not serious reporting

Got buried in the news this weekend, but President Jesus said the F word on CNN at like 2pm in the afternoon. The next day he posted a poop-filled scat video, but tell Me more about the dignity of the office of the presidency.

Chip Roy: "The truth is the marxist, radicals, and Islamists the Democratic Party promoted this weekend, they cannot handle the truth. The truth is that there is a king and that king is Jesus. And the president has been willing to say it, & Charlie Kirk was willing to say it & he got killed for it."

What is “satirical” about shitting on the American public, Mike? What “point” is that proving? Why do you have the moral fiber of a weasel on meth, Mike?

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 19h

Q: What does it say that president released a video of him pooping on the American people?

MIKE JOHNSON: You can argue he's probably the most effective person who has ever used social media. He's using satire to make a point. He's not calling for the murder of his political opponents.

Original artwork that mimics the famous raising of the flag on Iwo Jima, with the marines replaced by protesters in inflatable animal costumes. The Statue of Liberty and a city landscape are in the background.

Live munitions from a Trump-Vance “military demo” flew over I-5 and struck a CHP vehicle. The White House wanted the highway open—but Gov. Newsom shut it down for safety. That decision likely prevented injuries or worse.

We have obtained these photos:🤬🤬🤬

Israel bombed Gaza today killing dozens of Palestinians, claiming Hamas violated the ceasefire (despite reports Israel ran over an unexploded IED themselves)… and Trump appears to have no idea it happened.
