I wonder if he’s trying to bankrupt the country so he doesn’t have to pay the construction crews - it’s his heritage.

it's funny to see things like this every day, reflexively ask yourself "where is the limit," remember that "there are no limits" but then have your inner institutionalist say "but imagine if one day we do reach a limit lol"

Breaking News: President Trump wants $230 million from the Justice Department for investigating him, people familiar with the matter say. Any settlement might ultimately be approved by senior department officials who defended him or those in his orbit. nyti.ms/4hmIi5X

Thanks for submitting, but we rarely run pictorials. Plus, I’m not sure even Trump would be ignorant enough to green light this two days after millions held rallies to save our democracy, so the symbolism here comes off a little heavy-handed.

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

Seeing so many people amazed at the turnout for No Kings Day has cemented in my mind that the press has 100% failed the citizens of this country.

Chicago Mayor Issues Defiant Call For A General Strike

It was an audacious proposal, given that the U.S. has never held a true, nationwide general strike.

Spectacular robbery of the French crown jewels at the Louvre today: three masked men climbed a ladder, broke a window, lifted nine priceless pieces from the Apollo gallery, got away on motorbikes. No one hurt.
Reportedly the most famous piece in the room, the 140 carat Regent diamond, was not taken.
