The East Wing was built in 1902 & rebuilt in 1942, long after asbestos was used as a fire retardant. So, I’m sure the White House took steps to prevent a known carcinogen from entering the air during the current willy-nilly demolition.

Kidding! These irresponsible assholes don’t care who they kill.

there’s something distasteful in the way people describe the poor as having only their economic plight guide their values. it feels almost condescending, as though they can’t walk and chew gum and think that disrespecting an historic office is bad.

A not insignificant number of people knew the demolition was coming, including people at the White House Historical Association, and did nothing to stop it.

I see that @whitehousehistory.bsky.social put out a statement yesterday stating that they were able to complete a “comprehensive digital scanning project” to document the East Wing, and that the historic artifacts have been preserved and stored.

Oct 22, 2025 Washington, D.C. —
Since 1961, the mission of the White House Historical Association has been to document and share the history of the White House while providing private, non-taxpayer funding to preserve and enhance the White House Collection of furnishings, fine art, and decorative objects, maintaining the museum standard set by our founder, First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy. While the Association has never had a role in reviewing or approving changes to the physical structure of the White House building, we remain dedicated to advancing the public’s understanding of The White House and its history — from when the cornerstone was set in 1792, to present — ensuring that all of its stories are preserved and shared for generations to come.

Upon announcement of the Ballroom construction project by the White House, the White House Historical Association supported the preservation of East Wing history through a comprehensive digital scanning project and photography to create an historic record. The East Wing and gardens have been captured in detail for the benefit of our nation and historic artifacts from the East Wing have been preserved and stored. The White House Historical Association was able to support swift completion of this important work thanks to the generous philanthropy of our donors.
November 1 marks 225 years since John and Abigail Adams moved into a White House that has undergone scores of changes and many additions over 47 presidencies. Our important role will continue with the support of thousands of Americans who cherish the historic White House and the history of those who have lived and worked there for 225 years.

Within a week we've had a major jewel heist at the Louvre, a mafia-involved poker ring and sports gambling corruption. We're living in the 1920s.

I've been saying for a few days now that the most likely thing to happen here is that Trump just pockets 90% of the money, and we end up with some bootleg high school gym "dancehall", he declares victory, and then we're all expected to pretend it's not the Fyre Festival of DC builds.

the ballroom will never be built and he’ll just pocket whatever money he collects because he is a grifter first and foremost

FactPost @factpostnews.bsky.social · 13h

Trump raises the price of the ballroom to $350 million

(It changed from $200 million, then $300 million, now $350 million within the course of a few days)

There's a good paper to be written about how ending general education courses in college and reading full books in K-12 has made people immune to symbolism in politics

The fourth paragraph is politically obtuse, framing this as a battle between Trump’s heartfelt desire to put an “imprint” on the White House versus “the sensibilities of many in Washington.” NO! This is an attack upon the citizenry at large and upon the basic principles of republican governance.

But the previously unannounced decision to demolish the East Wing was at odds with Mr. Trump’s previous statements about the project, and underscored his intention to blast through the sensibilities of many in Washington to continue putting a lasting imprint on the White House.

When Trump announces federal aid to a state and in the same breath notes that the state voted for him, he's signaling that states must vote for him if they want federal aid.
It's not a presidency, it's a Mafia-style protection racket.
