Prior White House renovations were done by practical people with good taste. They made the building more functional without sacrificing its architectural and decorative refinements.

The current renovations are being done by a shockingly vulgar man and will tackily undermine the building's beauty.

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 hypocrisy is breathtaking. The injustice is staggering. And the files? They’re screaming.

Release them. Now.

Tonight, Congress will vote to lower the age to prosecute minors as adults from 16 down to 14 in DC.
Let me get this straight:
Congress wants to prosecute 14 yr. olds as adults, but they don't want to prosecute adults who sexually abuse 14 year olds?
Release the Epstein files.

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.

This is OBSCENE. It is a sin, really and truly in the deepest sense. To destroy something so magnificent to satisfy his g—damn ego.

Mayor Karen Bass: Today, I called on Congressman Robert Garcia, who is the lead Democrat on the Oversight Committee, to hold congressional hearings looking into the abuses by ICE and what is going on with the administration’s attacks on cities.

We’ll be having a hearing soon.

“Trump’s naked greed for wealth and power, his cruelty, his obscenity, his stupidity, his childishness, his arrogance—all these have galvanized the opposition as never before in recent U.S. history. That’s what “No Kings” was about.”

Long Live ‘No Kings’

Saturday’s protests showed that a resistance can be large and organized. But can it be sustained?

Donald Trump is now officially demolishing part of the White House to make room for his $200 million golden ballroom.

This comes as Americans can’t afford groceries and the government is still shut down.

“Lincoln’s lessons were clear—to frame the central issues as a defense of democracy and the Constitution, to repudiate smears, to focus on winning elections by standing on the fundamental questions, and to assert that the politics of fear must be met with confidence.”

Abraham Lincoln’s 1859 Lesson for Some 2028 Democrat

There are parallels between the John Brown raid and the murder of Charlie Kirk. But only one man seized the moment to start changing the course of history.

Tom Homan reportedly accepted $50,000 stuffed into a takeout bag from undercover F.B.I. agents. We must continue to ask where the money went, @ruthmarcus.bsky.social writes.

Tom Homan and the Case of the Missing Fifty Thousand

Lawmakers and ordinary citizens have to keep asking about the bag of cash, or accept an executive branch without any accountability.

No Kings rallies are antidotes for the loneliness and isolation you feel, and a reminder that we're going to win, whatever that might look like.
