Also: Dem leadership HAVE to do more to talk about this.

It's not just an abstract symbol; he's desecrating the East Wing so he can dominate history for sport. Make people feel that loss.

Not surprised, Trump lied.

The entirety of the East Wing will be torn down. And yes, we should be disgusted about this.

Wasn't expecting this, but watching the felon king tear down the White House East Wing gave me the same vibes as when I watched the MAGAts storming the capital on January 6th.
America desecrated.

As we await a verdict in the trial of Soldier F, another reminder that in 2010 the Bloody Sunday inquiry found

- the killings were unjustified
- none of the 14 dead (7 of whom were children) had guns
- no warnings were given
- no soldiers were under threat
- the troops were the first to open fire

I just need to remind everyone that Donald Trump is NOT leaving office in 2028. In 10 months he has:

- disbanded the Federal Election Commission, who oversees elections
- has the Supreme Court overturning the Voting Rights Act to give him ~20 more seats in Congress

Former GOP election official buys Dominion Voting Systems, says he'll push for paper ballots

The law doesn't state that only the Speaker of the House can swear in Representative Elects.

Get a federal judge to swear Grijalva in and see if Johnson sues to keep her from signing the Epstein petition or taking her office. Put their opposition on record.

Kindness is exponential.
Be nice to one person.
They pass it on.
And before you know it,

Why is Apple, Microsoft, Lockheed Martin, Blackstone, Google, OpenAI, Amazon and others financing the destruction of the WH and desecration of the grounds, something that is infuriating to huge chunk of the American population? Do you hate your customers that much?

I have to stress how highly unusual it is for the most powerful military on the planet to be blowing up random boats in international waters.

I can’t help but feel that several criminal charges will ultimately come from these strikes.

It makes far more sense to interdict them.

The East Wing is traditionally the domain of the First Lady. Hard not to see this as a family metaphor too.
