This is the abhorrently unethical man who served Trump and got rewarded with an appeals court seat. Democrats should begin impeachment proceedings against him the moment they are able to do so.

I’ve never visited the White House. I assumed it would be there in its now former state, more or less intact, forever… and perhaps I’d visit on our planned cross-country retirement trek. I’m not interested in seeing it now. And I’m sad I missed my chance.

NEW: NBC News confirms that the Jacqueline Kennedy Garden, on the east side of the White House, has been destroyed as part of the demolition of the East Wing.

Can we get a list of all monetary donations trump has made to the White House going back to his first term? because we all know how good he is on charitable donation follow through.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 21h

Q: How much money are you planning to donate to the ballroom?

TRUMP: Millions of dollars. I also give a lot of money to the White House. As you know, I give my salary and I usually like to steer it to the White House.

Heather or not @heatherkh.bsky.social · 22h

Print it. Shout it. Never stop saying it.

Let every American know that while SNAP is being cut, while jobs are being shed, while people aren't getting paid, while healthcare costs skyrocket, our prezzie is prioritizing his gold plated play pen.

my reaction to the Chauncey Billups and Terry Rozier news is that I don't trust anything Kash Patel does to be on the level.

Looks as if Trump is saying no Democrat will be allowed to win another national election—and he will use the FBI, the DOJ, and the CIA to make sure of that. This is a full-scale attack on American democracy, and every Republican, CEO, and conservative mouthpiece who doesn't object is complicit.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 2d

Trump: "We can never let what happened in the 2020 election happen again. We just can't let that happen. I know Kash is working on it, everybody is working on it. And certainly Tulsi is working on it. We can't let that happen again to our country."

I am kind of astonished at how muted the reaction has been so far in a country were people try to get, like, gas stations declared as historic landmarks. Can we at least get Mike Johnson on camera claiming he hasn’t seen these pictures? Or doesn’t know where or what the White House is?

Trump Is Demolishing the Entire East Wing to Make Way for His Ballroom
President Trump initially said the construction at the White House would not touch the East Wing or "interfere with the current building."

It’s far from the most important thing, morally right now, or in terms of the human stakes, but the ballroom thing is really breaking my brain.

I lived with my dad when I was very young and he didn’t apply for food stamps or free school lunches, though we qualified.

So, I went hungry. It was awful. I begged neighbors for saltine crackers. I can say it was the worst time of my life.

Children shouldn’t go hungry. Restore SNAP benefits.

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"
