Watching the White House’s beautiful East Wing being leveled by bulldozers and seeing decades of our nation’s rich history crumbling in a few senseless seconds, it’s impossible not to see it as a microcosm of what has been happening for the last ten months.

Thanks to John Roberts, Trump gets to pay himself hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars because, according to Roberts, the president controls all executive branch personnel and all of their decisions—and there’s probably nothing anyone can do about it.

As Trump plans to steal $230 million from taxpayers, we can thank John Roberts

Shall we call it a "Roberts reward"?

I’m Looking For That One Last Republican With A Modicum Of Courage. Just One. Is There One?

By Friday, the entire East Wing of the White House will be gone. Completely gone. Trump does not have the authority to be doing what he’s doing. Yet he’s doing it. It’s wrong. And it should be stopped. Is there not one Republican in Washington, DC with the courage to say something? Is there not one? Not one willing to risk their political career by doing the right thing? Not one?

The $20 billion the President is spending to bailout his friend in Argentina is almost enough to extend your health care credits for a whole year.

If they wanted to find the money they could. We don't suffer from a lack of resources, we suffer from leadership who fails to put people first.

In Germany, the police academy is 2.5 years. In Finland, 3 years.

Even the NYPD is 6 months.

ICE is was already 3 months. Now 1.5 months.

Pure indifference to any actual skill or ability. Makes them both more dangerous and less effective.

Hell of a double-edged sword.

The president should not be able to take money from taxpayers and put it in his personal bank account. For any reason. Having his personal attorney do it isn’t any better.

Glad to see Rep. Jamie Raskin and @gregsargent.bsky.social on this. Dems should hammer it. Most Americans dislike corruption.

Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 3h

Good: Jamie Raskin tells me he's formally demanding any/all internal communications between WH and DOJ on Trump's $230 million payoff.

More Dems should talk this way about Trump's criming. He's turning the presidency into a massive Bribe Delivery System.

Trump’s Vile New $230 Million Shakedown of DOJ Just Got Even Worse

It’s bad enough that Trump wants—and DOJ will likely fork over—this tribute payment. Now, get this: It can probably be done at first without even being revealed publicly.

It is shocking that Trump is quickly tearing down a portion of the White House. But isn’t the bigger story that this action is of a piece with his autocratic presumption that he can unilaterally destroy public goods without any public consultation or explanation?
