The ballroom itself is bulletproof. It is a fancy shelter/barracks.

Virginia follows Newsom's lead... hope other blue states follow. This is political warfare

🚨NEW: Following California's lead, Virginia is planning to redraw its Congressional map to cancel out GOP gains from partisan gerrymander.

Illinois and Maryland need to follow suit.

He totally wants to turn DC into one of his private clubs. He's awful.

Seriously, Dems should make an ad out of that clip. Several ads, really.

Show people really being hurt by his policies and then that clip. Show grocery store prices folks can't pay, or people losing their insurance and then Karoline saying, "The ballroom is really the president's main priority."

Pass it on!

-THE REFORMERS-

TRUMP LIT THE GERRYMANDERING FUSE
• Direct response to Trump's push for red states like Texas to redraw their maps to disenfranchise
Democrats and elect more Republicans
• Trump's redistricting pressure campaign could net the GOP up to 12 unearned House seats
• CA Democrats are mirroring the GOP's power grab to keep the playing field from tilting entirely red
YES ON 50
TO CLAP-BACK

Remember the trash bags being thrown out of the window? They were gutting it even back then. Trump knew. Trump lied.

The national debt is the highest it’s ever been, after adding $1 trillion in a little under two months.

Our elected officials have abdicated their fiscal responsibilities.

National debt surpasses $38 trillion milestone for first time in US history as spending surges

The U.S. national debt surpassed $38 trillion for the first time this week, growing at a record pace driven by spending stemming from the aging population and elevated interest costs.

They're stealing seats. We're leveling the field. Prop 50 is California's line of defense against Trump's election rigging.

It's a shame he didn't go through channels and was more transparent with this. The loss of such a historical and significant building is heart breaking... even if the new one blends well. Trump just bully and destroys things. I believe the new one should look like:

Don’t let Republicans rig another election‼️

Prop 50 is about fairness and power; giving California voters the final say on congressional maps, not politicians.

Your vote isn’t just a choice this time, it’s a defense. Stand up and use it.

...And how is this allowed? No Permits, no historical preservation rules... The contractor that is taking this on should also be held liable. This is an (another) insane event.

Looks like it spells "Dummy"

Bmandiego @bmandiego.bsky.social · 1d

No permits, no historical reviews... The construction company doing this should also be held liable. I Don't care if trump thinks it's a great idea.

Hi Jo. Loved your substack today. Could you post that video to YouTube? It's great and deserves a wider audience.
