So something needs to be built to replace the illegally destroyed East Wing. A ballroom is one of the options BUT it should be congress that should set the budget and put the design & scope up for competitive bids. Trump should have little to nothing to do with the design and budget. People’s house

I wonder if all the talking heads at Fox will have the same scathing criticisms of Trump tapping into the strategic oil reserve as they did for Biden. I am not really wondering about it, I know they won’t.

Hey! Remember when Barr (Bondi) withheld the Mueller (Epstein) documents for weeks so he (she) could mischaracterize what was in the Mueller (Epstein) Report and spin the findings for three weeks and then over-redact them? I sure do!

Very happy about the blue wave tonight but also disappointed this didn’t happen last November. We knew who he was. We knew he would bring corruption & lawlessness. We knew it would be Project 2025. Why couldn’t we bring this energy last year?

Let’s make one thing clear from the start: Charlie Kirk was the victim of a shooting in a country where he, along with other right-wing extremist influencers, have been inciting violence for years. — Kirk is neither a martyr nor a hero, he is a cause.

Reuters: US appeals court allows Trump's EPA to nix climate grants. How can you govern when the next president can erase everything the former administration accomplished? With this Supreme Court maybe only Republicans can do this or doesn’t matter, no more elections. apple.news/AUrvvSal7QYu...

Don’t forget that we are in this redistricting battle because the ideological Supreme Court held (5-4) that partisan gerrymandering cases couldn’t be heard in federal courts Remember: This was a SC that that was configured that way after Republicans stole a SC seat. No stolen seat=different result.

Phang: These are bright, talented young men and women about to embark on the next stage of their lives. And what they got was a rambling, incoherent, dementia-laden rant. Just pure diarrhea of the mouth from Trump. He has no faculties left that remain uncompromised.

Alex Lawson to Rep. Miller-Meeks: Last time you spoke with us you lied to our face and said you wouldn’t vote for Medicaid cuts, but you’ve voted for the largest cuts in the history of the country. Do you have any comment on the health care that 67,000 people in your district are going to lose?

Jessica: We have big headlines, getting investment like $8.5 billion out of Qatar, that was already announced in 2023 and 2024. Abu Dhabi, he says $200 billion… announced during the Biden administration… He likes to show up and take credit for things other people did

Mango Mussolini’s latest riff is how a beautiful little girl (between 8-14 depending on the day) doesn’t need 30 dolls & they should “get by” with 2 or 3. Why hasn’t anyone asked the man with the golden toilet about the millions of families who can barely afford 1 doll. What are they supposed to do?

Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA): "I'm writing to the White House to demand who knew in advance that the President was going to, once again, flip flop on tariffs. And are people cashing in? There is just all too much opportunity for people in the White House and the administration to be insider trading"

Obama: Imagine if I had done any of this. Imagine if I had pulled Fox News’ credentials. Imagine if I had said to law firms that you will not be allowed into government buildings. It’s unimaginable that the same parties that are silent now would have tolerated behavior like that from me

Crockett: To have the sitting AG go on Faux News and decide that she wanted to send a threat to me was wrong.. I don’t like Elon Musk. I’m going to say it 50,000 times.
