Whether it’s conservatives complaining about a redesign of Cracker Barrel’s across the country, or liberals complaining about President Trump bulldozing the East Wing of the White House, it’s clear both sides are engaged in a new political battleground over architecture and design

There was at least one kid that said a gun was pointed at him and they threatened to “blow his mom’s head off”

It flies under the radar because it is overwhelmed by the sheer repulsiveness of the physical destruction of the east wing, but there is no way that a president should be allowed to use private money to change public property. It circumvents the power of the purse.

House Republicans stopped revising their legislative calendar back in July. So I updated it for them. Since July 4, the House has conducted 20 days of business in 16 weeks. Oct. 27-30 remains TBD.

An essential feature of authoritarianism is that the leader - not courts - decides who is guilty and who is not.

Santos - who Trump said is getting a commutation bc he “votes Republican” - is the 10th high profile loyalist to get a pardon or clemency.

We cannot accept this.

New York is potentially able to undo the Trump commutation of Santos. It passed law just for this situation after Trump pardoned Manafort.

The Good News: Scummy George Santos Isn’t Out of the Woods Just Yet

Trump’s commutation of his sentence was a disgrace. But under a new law, New York State can still pursue justice here.

Asked if it is still "ridiculous that anyone...would even suggest that President Trump is doing anything for his own benefit," the White House referred us to his personal lawyers and DOJ. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
