The Washington Post thinks the White House Ballroom is a splendid idea and anyone who thinks otherwise is a NIMBY. In other news Post owner Jeff Bezos is helping to pay for the Ballroom

OTD in 1981 “whisky on the rocks”. Soviet submarine S-363 ran aground after “navigational error” in Sweden.

Washpost Opinion (not News) has done a stealth edit of its pro-ballroom editorial.

The original (left) failed to mention that Amazon (whose founder, Jeff Bezos, owns the Post) is a donor to Trump's project.

The new version (right) has it.

No clarification or correction appended to the piece.

And former chief counsel for nominations to Grassley on Judiciary.

This was someone who came to where he is at now right through the middle of the “traditional” GOP elites’ path.
May I present a former clerk to Justice Gorsuch.

In Trump’s world, telling the truth is a crime and deserves punishment. Reagan was a committed free trader and the Canadian summary of the speech was spot on.
If you read Lindsey Halligan’s indictment” and thought she was a lightweight, this exchange proves it beyond all doubt.

Angus: This is a guy who showed an AI video of himself dumping diarrhea on his own citizens. So the fact that he’s freaking out because we showed a video that just had Ronald Reagan speaking shows he’s not trustworthy.
Tell them to come to the new golden ballroom.

A 14-word replacement for most op-eds, substacks, etc about this moment.

The GOP could stop ALL of this, right now—if a handful of Sens or Reps could step outside the cult.

It would take four in the Senate, four (maybe five) in the House, to change history.

Until then, they're all to blame.
