Again I dont put much into norms or institutions when issues like poverty exist but a president demolishing much of a publicly owned building in plain sight to build a vanity project funded by bribes during a shutdown as people lose food assistance, troops aren't sure if they'll get paid, etc is bad

"At this moment in time, peasants, the ballroom is the main priority."

I’ll say it straight: It is unbecoming, undignified, cowardly, and shameful for a institution as revered and respected as the University of Virginia to grant an audience in 2025 to those who are committed to destroying science, free thought, human rights, and the rule of law.

White House vandals

Hell, I'd be good with "Tear down the monstrosity." (Also, accountability for the monster.)

I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of “what if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.

New ICE recruiting methods have resulted in half of this group of absolute winners failing AN OPEN BOOK TEST

My mind has gone to a lot of dark places that I never would have imagined in the past, but waking up at 3 a.m. and being sad about the East Wing is one that I really did not see coming.

Fetterman: "When I ran for Senate, everyone, including myself, said we’ve got to get rid of the filibuster. I don’t want to see any Democrats clutching their pearls about it now." Dude, read the room. I'm not seeing pearl-clutching. Let GOP own this s**tshow. Stop helping. share.inquirer.com/giyNVk

Brian Schatz: "This is not about money. There is enough money to bail out Argentina with $20b. There is enough money to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173m for Noem. There is enough money to renovate the WH ballroom. What there isn't enough money for under this Republican government is you."

@merkley.senate.gov is literally holding the Senate floor right now!!!!!

Go watch and amplify!!!!

I’m disgusted by the photos of Ttump’s demolition at the East Wing, but I’m even more sickened by the renderings of his mar-a-lago ballroom dwarfing our White House. Once we’re rid of this despicable man, that ballroom must also be removed.

To recap:
•$100M on golf
•$172M for jets for ICE Barbie
•$230M in DOJ payments to Trump
•$250M for a vanity ballroom
•$40B to Argentina while our farmers suffer
•$117B in annual tax cuts to the super wealthy 1%
•$170B ICE budget to round up Americans like Gestapo

Meanwhile—no money for food stamps

SHUT UP ABOUT PLATNER FOR FUCKING TWO WEEKS!

This election isn’t until 2026!!!!

Meanwhile, a Maine election that literally decides HOW EASY OR HARD IT IS TO VOTE is in 2 WEEKS!!!!

Imagine if all the people talking about Platner we’re talking about this instead. The fucking referendum would lose!

I know it's common to dismiss so many things as "distractions" from the important things we face but I refuse to accept that Trump is literally taking backhoes to the White House and Congress hasn't said a word as an important damn thing. We can be concerned about many things at once.

This is who is paying for the destruction of the White House East Wing, per @wsj.com

Can we figure out which contractors decided that knocking down part of the White House for a dictator was a great idea?

Thank You Philly for making #NoKings 2 an amazing Success! We couldn’t do this without all of You. Now it’s Your Turn. Use the Link in our Bio to make sure you’re ready to VOTE this Nov 4th. We have 3 PA State Supreme Court to Retain! @indivisible.org @maddow.msnbc.com @billy-penn.bsky.social

Vandals.

Republican math.

Can afford: Trump ballroom, $40 Billion Argentina bailout, massive tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires

Can’t afford: health care for Americans, SNAP for struggling Americans, tax relief for middle class families.

OK, so our "Secretary of War" currently has two big priorities: (1) murdering innocent fishermen in the Caribbean, and (2) endangering the lives of commuters in Southern California.

Perhaps, we are seeing one of the downsides to having a drunk TV talk show chatterbox running our military.

DC. No Kings!

No Kings, Philadelphia
