Of course they will vote for this! These are the machinations of a political party on the verge of becoming insignificant and are looking to get as much as they can while they can. Political theft of everything they can grab on their way out!!

Who put that in the bill we need names. We need to know who thinks this is a good idea not just some Republican, who exactly.

This billion-dollar heist confirms that the White House Correspondents Dinner stunt was staged. Also explains all of the unanswered questions and conflicting footage. It’s impossible for Trump to tell the truth about anything. AMERICA IS NOT PAYING FOR A BALLROOM NO ONE ASKED FOR.

This makes it easy to see where our money is going. People don’t have the capacity to realize just how much a billion is. It shows how the government budget was intentionally inflated. A million one thousand times. To build one structure

Trump is the guy who offers to buy you dinner, then "forgets" his wallet and asks to borrow your credit card, promising to pay you back, then pays for the supper, and also buys a case of $1,000 per bottle wine on your card without mentioning it. He will NEVER pay you back.

All Republicans (except maybe 1 or 2) will vote for this reconciliation bill. Plus Fetterman. Mark it. The only reprieve from all of this won’t come from the Senate, & certainly not the House. It has to come from US. We, the people.

Just now, for this? It's high theft in plain sight the whole time and it's being allowed so people can be openly racist. Now they can't afford being racist and we see how that's going.

And he will look to pocket a good amount of this on top of the ‘private’ donations. It’s all a scam

Liberals should make up signs of support for this billion dollar monstrosity and have a big rally in front of the white house. Because the Trumpers will hate anything the other side wants.

This is part of their reconciliation bill to fund ICE. As such, the filibuster is not available. Simple majority win. Which means the monstrosity will pass. Ugh.

Funny back in June 2025, Trump tried to accuse J Powell of a 600 million overrun on the Fed Reserve renovation. Trumps creative accounting included a previous building not part of the current project. Flash forward and 1 year later Trump is trying to justify an 800 million overrun on his pet project

From one article on the Powell encounter. “On a funnier note, Trump was asked by one reporter what, as a real estate developer, he would do with a project manager who went over budget. “Generally speaking, what would I do? I’d fire him,” Trump remarked.”

They’re planning on pushing it through reconciliation. They know it’s unpopular but they’re all scared of an 80 year old man with dementia. What did the Russian discover when they hacked the RNC? It must have been a doozy

the "EAST WING MODERNIZATION PROJECT"- That's what they are trying to call it?? Modernization is not the destruction of the whole building, but if he hadn't torn it down he couldn't push for his ballroom. And the price tag increase to $1B is truly outrageous. NOT WITH TREASURY MONEY!! DONORS ONLY!

You're not getting that without an armed group of your friends setting an example of Republicans. They aren't being punished so they'll just keep hurting us until someone hurts them.

NO he had NO authority for any of it, from tearing down the East Wing to starting this monstrosity - if he can't get the private money he lied about - even if he DID get that money - he must stop & rebuild the East Wing AS IT WAS on his own dime - he had no authority STEP UP @booker.senate.gov

This admin has wasted so much money its insane. How many billions for ice? How many billions for war? How many millions for trumps golf. How many millions for his building name changes. How many million for his arch? How many million for DC golf course takeover? Whats left for the people??

GOP are pushing this through using a mechanism that will require only Republican votes. No Dems will vote for it. So it’s not “Congress” – this is brought to you entirely by the bootlicking Republican Party.

Just think how much time, energy & treasure is going into litigating tariffs, ballrooms, statues & arches, wars, redemption cases, corruption, Epstein, voting, redistricting, abortion, IRS case, gift jets, NATO, Greenland, boat murders, 2020 election, ICE, prisons, J6, etc. None of this helps you.

Funds available until Sept 2029? How long does it take to build a basement suicide bunker & a Hall of "Don't Ever Do This Shit Again" on top? They can slap up whole McMansion neighborhoods in like three months now, hell, you drop a tornado pod in like a week if you pay the cre- oh.

They will vote for it. And according to Heather Cox Richardson, Republicans don’t need a single Democratic vote to push this through. Trump. And. Republicans. Are. Wasting. $1,000,000,000. Of. YOUR. Money. On. A. Fecking. Ballroom.

I’m telling ya. Seems like that’s what they want. We are their lab rats and they keep jabbing us all with a sharp stick to instigate a fight.

One other point: If you weren't so hated, you wouldn't need the Secret Service to upgrade all your security. The White House is the people's house; not YOUR house; not your subjects, not your servants to rule. This is what The Constitution and its architects warned against. The piggish Kings.

One Billion! That's enormous opulence that will surely need upgrades for "his highness." More likely, a giant diversion of funds to friends, family, and benefactors. That's near the cost of ATT Stadium in Arlington, TX! (1.6 in today's $). Oh, I see, it's his own tariffs that messed it up? Ha!

Within the perimeter of the WH fence. Ask your favorite AI what a Billion dollars will build, downtown DC if the lot is free. The 12-13 story limit is administrative so … the answer is a giant opulant who knows what.

You have a right to call any senator not just your own. Full list attached for your convenience. 202.224.#### Use the last 4 digits in PHONE column Call every day Ok to call off hours. Blow up VM Be vocal. Be visible. Be disruptive.

We need to vote this party out! And remember what they all allowed to happen so that they will not be able to have power again for another decade so this mess POTUS created have a chance to be repaired by TRUE American patriots, not imitators wearing crayola crayons colored caps.

This is Trump: $5 ladies and gentlemen! That's all it cost for this amazing new product. Yes, for a mere $10 you can have it for your own! Isn't it worth just $20 to own the security that only $100 brings you? For the peace of mind that comes at the cost of just $500 dollars? Send your $5,000 now!

It’s going through reconciliation. So filibuster doesn’t apply. GOP can pass this like the OBBB without a single Dem vote. Even thought it will be extremely unpopular. Like the OBBB without

Not bad, only $1,000,000,000 of taxpayers dollars for a building that GOP donors were going to pay for. What did America have to give for this: only Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. Too steep a price in my opinion.

It started with tearing down the East Wing before any approvals, no oversight… then $200 million in donations was paying for it. Then it was $400 million, now $1 BILLION to rebuild what we had. Same for the the “gift” of a new jet, costing another billion to refurbish. What the fuck are we doing?
