NOAA Research uses a specially retrofitted Gulfstream jet aircraft for hurricane and winter storm reconnaissance. It took NOAA YEARS to get Congress to allocate funds to buy ONE aircraft. #DogKillerNoem illegally steals money appropriated by Congress for other purposes for propaganda film exploits.

Is there a way to stop Trump from pardoning the thugs he already pardoned?

Seems the DC Department of Buildings has received enough complaints on T's demolition of the East Wing of the White House, the DC DOB will be inspecting it tomorrow.

Good morning. Did any newspaper have the decency to print TRUMP DEMOLISHES WHITE HOUSE as their lead headline today?

Moskowitz: We need $30 billion to extend, obviously, these healthcare subsidies, which allow Americans—Americans, not illegal—Americans, citizens, to afford healthcare.

And the president’s like, “We don’t have $30 billion, but I am going to send $40 billion to my dear friend in Argentina.”

Let me get this straight. They ripped Kamala Harris left and right over the purchase of a Dutch oven out of her own money but it's fine for Kristi Noem to spend $190 million on a jet for her personal use and during a government shutdown too?

Just so we’re all clear on the gravity and historical significance of what Trump has done to the East Wing of the People’s House.

One person announced an actionable next step: BOYCOTT BLACK FRIDAY

Shouldn’t everyone who marched post that?

I’m just wondering. Just asking.

We are behind the scenes doing what we are doing - I just want to know what the visibility was about.

Oh you're trying to say the cost of living is skyrocketing?

Donald Trump can't hear you over the sound of bulldozers demolishing a wing of the White House to build a new grand ballroom.

Trump in July, on the WH $250MM ballroom project:

“It won’t interfere with the current building.... It’ll be near it but not touching it — and pays total respect to the existing building, which I’m the biggest fan of."

Many people are outraged that Trump is demolishing part of the White House. But of course Trump can't do it without help. It's ACECO LLC of Silver Spring MD ("full-service demolition") that is tearing down the People's House. You can call them and let them know how you feel. 1/

The White House is a public building and a National Park, maintained by the National Park Service. The President is a tenant. He has zero authority to tear up this building.

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
