No, the White House is not a national monument, but it is a National Historic Landmark and a designated unit of the National Park System. Damaging it is a crime, and it can be prosecuted under federal law as a felony.

Putin: " Great work agent Krasnov. Loved that vid of you shitting on American citizens, and the vid of the destruction of the WH is just hilarious."

Trump: "Thanks boss! What shall I do next"

Putin: "Perhaps, club to death a bald eagle with a flagpole"

Trump: "Your word is my command, boss"

There are architectural elements in there, windows, trim, lighting fixtures, probably more. Doors that Presidents have walked through since 1904 (2nd floor 1942) and we're just sending them to the landfill. This is a grotesque waste of resources and a shameless destruction of our history, our house.

To clarify why it's so important to deconstruct historic structures instead of just demolishing blindly when undertaking a renovation, the Saenger Theater in New Orleans was restored & modernized in 2010-2013. Blueprints were long lost but during deconstruction, THEY FOUND A FULL SET IN A CRAWLSPACE
Scoop: Trump has started demolishing the White House's East Wing facade to build his ballroom. The president had claimed construction of the $250 million building wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure. /W @ddiamond.bsky.social wapo.st/4hqBNiU

Two days in Trump years is like some kind of dog years conversion. Every 2025 day is worth 3 normal days and we have 3 more years of this shit.

It's all artisinal handcrafted wood trim and restoration double hung windows too, all probably crafted at significant expense for restorations by the national park service and probably mounted for easy removal for maintenance. But nope just smash it with a backhoe

I'm not a West Wing obsessed lib or anything but the more I see pictures of this the more fucked up I think it is. It's like he cut off one of the hands of the Lincoln memorial with an angle grinder so he could add a big gun to it.

You’re telling me rather than Gen Z being irrevocably radicalized to the right by the algorithm or something they just hate the president when the economy is bad like most people?
#NotAllMen have despicable Reddit histories, believe it or not. Let’s not elect the ones who do.
Graham Platner to @daveweigel.bsky.social:
"How do you expect to win back men when you go back through somebody’s Reddit history and just pull it all out and say: ‘Oh, my God, this person has no right to ever be in politics?’"

DSCC Chair Gillibrand: “It’s up to the voters of Maine to decide.”
We said #NoKings so he demolished the East Wing of our White House to build a ballroom, an anachronistic monument to royalty. Kings host balls; presidents do not. Even the inaugural balls are not at the White House and the president is a guest, not a host. Trump wants to relive his Epstein years.
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.

The East Wing gate there is next to the U.S. Treasury Building. Senate Finance Committee should hold a press conference from the back stairs of the Treasury in the morning. commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Im...

Ahh yes. The impossible standard of “don’t be a nazi.”
After hearing this guy shitposts on Reddit and has sick tats, I'm even more FOR him to defeat Susan Collins.

We need to stop holding rising Progressives to impossible standards; more real and imperfect they are, the more we need them in office. Can't fight Nazis w/ the Hakeem Jeffries of the world!
If we want to defeat Susan Collins, we need to try something new. The same old tired playbook will not work.

call me an overly sentimental patriotic American but I personally do not enjoy seeing the president literally destroy the White House and drop shit on our greatest cities
NEW: After The Washington Post reported Monday on the demolition of the "East Wing facade," a new picture obtained by Law Dork that was taken on Tuesday shows that a substantial portion of the entirety of the East Wing has been demolished.

DHS is at it again. They’re mad that I correctly pointed out that their claim of 515,000 “illegal migrants deported” was wrong so called me a “chronically online troll,” which is particularly ironic coming from an account which actively trolls people all the time.

Motherfucker is shitting on people and tearing the White House down hoping we’ll forget about the Epstein files.

Bitch, we didn’t forget.

Tick tock.
