Bet Trump took all the chandeliers and solid doors to a warehouse to use himself. I wonder if he planted the historic roses at Mar Lago from the rose garden?

And they didn’t save anything, did they? No recycling, reuse? Everything quickly destroyed before anyone can intervene.

(Good luck finding quartersawn hardwood of that quality today in *any* hardwood species.)

That woodwork is literally irreplaceable.

They could have saved woodwork, doors, artifacts. This building belongs to the people, not the temporary staff. It's heartbreaking!

That's Mad Mike. Now lets see Grindr Mike...

Charter’s service was already so bad that it changed its name from Spectrum like a shady roof contractor trying to outrun a bad reputation.

In Opinion

“The United States is cutting off the kind of foreign aid that keeps children alive for 12 cents a day, but it’s willing to invest far larger sums in a dubious effort to prop up a distant economy — while effectively subsidizing tycoons who made bad investments,” Nicholas Kristof writes.

You can get more important information from one Colbert joke setup than from an hour of Good Morning America or CBS Mornings

Not an exaggeration. You can also get more actual news info from Seth Meyers’ “A Closer Look” segments than most/all of the legacy corporate nightly news broadcasts. Doubtless one of the main reasons Trump wants all of the late-night shows killed off... they’re too informative.

Congress is letting damn near everything happen

"I know he believes he's owed that reimbursement," the House speaker said on Wednesday.

The Republicans, who have governing majorities on both sides of the Capitol, could address this issue by simply pass a bill ending all of Trump's wildly illegal trade policies, just as soon as they re-open the government.

Dump Ricketts

Using an Italian slur for Black people, Ingrassia wrote a month earlier in the group chat seen by POLITICO: “No moulignon holidays … From kwanza [sic] to mlk jr day to black history month to Juneteenth,” then added: “Every single one needs to be eviscerated.”

the Trump Administration was demanding that schools block any mentions of trans people in their sexual health education curriculum if they wanted federal monies. U.S. District Judge Ann Aiken said "no you don't."

Reddit sued Perplexity AI and three other companies over alleged data scraping from the discussion site without permission, a sign of the growing demand and value of original data in the AI industry

The bill passed 25-24, despite opposition from PM Netanyahu, in the first of four votes it will face to become law.

This is very interesting and apparently does not require a constitutional amendment.
We’d need a bigger Capitol, though. Maybe we could repurpose the ballroom when Trump strokes out. R’s will like the chandeliers and gold leaf.
