1- the court stopped the building temporarily but the damage is already done. and trump will move ahead anyway using his levers of power. For me it's too little too late-
2- Love Talarico!!!! Watters is such an entitled juvenile
3- I am not surprised that the Senate Repubs caved on trumps AG. It's not just Cassidy. It's Tillis and Cornyn too. They want to have access to the Senate when they leave for their lobbying. All 3 should be called out to their faces. Let them know we know why they did it. For Cassidy- he also gave us RJK Jr- and there's no excuse for that.
1 - I wish they would have stopped him from tearing the East wing down. It’s not like nobody had a clue what was going on.
2 - Ditto.
3 - Lobbying for these retirees has got to go! As does PAC money to sitting Congressional members. They’re not representing their constituents as much as they are filling their own pockets. But hey, look at the president himself? This has got to stop, once and for all.
TBF, it's not that Bill Cassidy couldn't find his spine, though that is true. Any other Republican could have said no. But they didn't. They continue to protect pedophiles.
They continue to put party over country and have become hated more than anytime I can remember. Their actions won't be forgotten even when they grovel and say..But I didn't know he was going to do that. Every MAGA Congress member needs to be banned from receiving benefits since they broke their oath. It's like a snake pit full of vipers out to destroy anyone who stands in their way.
Adam, you said, regarding Putin’s intentions, “Our intelligence sees it. Our allies see it. So why can’t this President?” Obviously a rhetorical question. Putin owns him.
Trump likes Putin; he wants to be like him, Xi, Erdogan, - any autocrat will do. Trump’s comment that there’s an ocean between us completely betrays his ignorance of geography and geopolitics.
The ballroom portion was but the underground luxury bunker which was the real reason for the ballroom, was allowed to continue due to "national security"...ppfftt. The West Wing's bunker could have been used while Congress decided to approve funding for the East Wing's bunker. The "private donations" with no taxpayers funds being used for the gaudy Golden Ballroom?? Well, djt has sh*t for brains and a lying problem. NOW... expanded plans include a state-of-the-art catering kitchen to handle up to 1,000 guests, as well as updated office space and suites for the First Lady's team. Now contractor estimates show that as scope and costs have grown toward $600 million, significant public taxpayer funds will ultimately be required alongside private donations. BUT, no worries nearly $400 million was redirected from Secret Service accounts (originally designated for personnel, training, and technology.)This depletes agency resources during a period when the Secret Service is already under operational and financial strain from the tRump kids traveling all over the world on "business".
The push and using an EO for the destruction of the East Wing and building of the 6 story, 90k sq ft luxury bunker along with the gaudy ballroom which will be another fortress covering the bunker, was done because the orange rapist and his handlers didn't want to wait on Congress.They didn't want to ask to build the luxury bunker or risk being told no. The forces behind the making of the tRump-DyNASTY wants to keep control and have things in place before the election.
The outright audacity continues. tRump wants to take East Potomac Golf Links Golf Club, Washington, D.C., and overhaul the historic public course into a high-end, championship-quality course that will increase greens fees and reduce access for local casual golfers. Converting the affordable public layout into a luxury championship course would likely price out beginner and recreational players, replacing cheap municipal rates (currently around $30–$50) with high-end tee time pricing. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum approved plans to redevelop Washington, D.C.'s historic public East Potomac Golf Links into a championship course designed by Tom Fazio, aiming to host major events like the U.S. Open and PGA Championship.
Conditions at the golf course recently worsened after the National Park Service deposited tens of thousands of cubic yards of toxic WH East Wing excavation debris directly onto the fairways, creating massive soil mounds and sparking environmental lawsuits over soil quality. This administration will do whatever it takes to get what ever it wants, including using tactics like toxic waste to make sure the golf course has to be remodeled.
gee. its almost like he will be completely ensconced at the white house, hiding away in the bunker when they come for him to arrest him. It will be impenetrable and now that he'll have the "state of the art " kitchen he can stay "hidden" for years! LOL
Grateful for any court victories that come -- state, federal, appeals. A Bush-appointed judge, speaking for the majority, basically told Trump to go fuck himself -- in nicer language of course, yet with unmistakable clarity. If he decides to be an imbecile and petition the Supreme Court (which he will likely try to do), he'll likely get another 6-3 decision against him, just like the one handed to him on mail-in voting.
Clearly, there will be losses going forward, some deeply painful, until the cultish madness gets reversed and expunged. Still, it feels like momentum and history continue to side with us.
Perhaps the "accidental" russian missile that hit poland last month wasn't really a mistake but a precursor of a nato country being attacked. testing the waters?? I'd say yes.
Putin had better be very careful going after a NATO country. NATO can make quick work of a weakened Russia. If he waves his nukes, France can waves theirs right back. Personally, I'd love to see NATO come in on the side of Ukraine. Putin would wet his pants.
but at the beginning of this assault on Ukraine we thought that NATO would surely allow them to join.. they didn't agree. that surprised me but if they do go against a NATO country they definitely will be defeated no matter what deals Putin has with the yam.
Oh, do I have words for Fuckwit, spineless Bill Cassidy!!!! Absolutely fuck all these GOP MAGA’s! What an absolute POS Cassidy is!!! I hope he is shunned by society after he leaves. May we all never forget who put us in this one big fucking shit show!!! Sorry for the language but I am once again beside myself with anger!!
In an interview with The New York Times, Dr. El-Sayed recalled some of his conversations with establishment figures who once opposed his candidacy.
Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, who won a divisive Democratic Senate primary this week in the crucial swing state of Michigan with an unabashedly progressive message, has been flooded with calls from leaders of the party establishment he challenged during his campaign.
He spoke with Senator Chuck Schumer of New York, the Democratic minority leader who had privately opposed him in the primary, about “taking back the Senate and taking on Trump', Dr. El-Sayed recalled. He had more than one conversation with Representative Haley Stevens after he narrowly defeated her in the primary.
He also compared notes about campaigning in Michigan with former Vice President Kamala Harris, who lost the state in 2024. And he chatted with both Gov. JB Pritzker of Illinois, a billionaire, and Mayor Zohran Mamdani of New York, a democratic socialist.
In an interview at a coffee shop in Ann Arbor on Thursday, Dr. El-Sayed spoke about his victory, the way progressive candidates resonated with young voters and some of the regrets he had about the bruising primary.
Asked about the possibility of becoming the first Muslim senator if he beats the Republican nominee, Mike Rogers, Dr. El-Sayed said, 'I’m just interested in being the next U.S. senator from Michigan'.
He argued that Rogers was 'corrupt' and had no 'vision' for the country. [A spokeswoman for Rogers, Alyssa Brouillet, responded in a statement saying that Mr. Rogers had spent his life 'serving Michigan' and 'exposing frauds like Abdul El-Sayed'.]
And Dr. El-Sayed addressed Jewish Michigan residents who expressed strong concerns about his vocal criticism of Israel, saying he was eager to speak to Jewish communities across the state about how 'they’re feeling right now'.
'
He declined to say whether he would continue to campaign with Hasan Piker, a provocative streamer and critic of Israel whose appearances with him on the campaign trail became a flashpoint. 'Look, I’m just a lot more focused on who I’m campaigning to', he said.
But he appeared eager to set his sights on President Trump, who is unpopular and whom Democrats across the country hope to make the focus of the general election three months away. Mr. Trump has falsely described him and other Democratic candidates as communists.
Dr. El-Sayed said that the president had inherited his wealth and shown that he knew 'nothing' about capitalism. He added that he would relish a chance to debate Mr. Trump.
'My hair is real', he said, adding, 'And my hands are way bigger than his'.
Below are excerpts from the interview, which have been condensed and edited for clarity.
Who have you heard from since you won? Anyone that surprised you?
Can’t wait to read his ranting at 2:30 am about the ballroom. Sorry to read about the unemployment numbers, that should happen at the capital. 😂 go Texas…blue
Will be interesting to see the numbers' revision next month. Unless I'm mistaken, the already poor jobs numbers have been revised downward every month since trump had a hissy and put his hand-picked minion in charge at BLS.
We must be very skeptical of ANY data produced by these stupid, lying bugwits.
1- the court stopped the building temporarily but the damage is already done. and trump will move ahead anyway using his levers of power. For me it's too little too late-
2- Love Talarico!!!! Watters is such an entitled juvenile

Yes I am devastated about the destruction of the historic East Wing.
😢💔 Me too.
“Europe is not our business - we’re separated by an ocean.” Indeed, separated from truth by an ocean of Trump’s lies.
Agree with all you said.
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
I feel THE SAME WAY about Ted Cruz!
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Ted Cruz looks like he's about to o.d. any day on fried food & scotch.
🤞‼️‼️
you mean entitled juvenile? lolol
I agree!
I agree on all 3 pts; what a freaking dogs ass !!!
How can these people stand themselves 😵💫🙄

You mean Trump over Party, over country--over all. He is the feared dictator; the one who can destroy their lives and threaten their families.
"Every MAGA Congress member needs to be banned from receiving benefits since they broke their oath." This, 100%
Cassidy is a spineless asshole
A self-interested, narcissistic asshole.

Don’t forget Hitler. That is exactly who he is emulating.
Absolutely.
Plus we just signed a deal for sanctions against Russia that were originally orchestrated by Lindsay Graham.
Wasn't the W.H. tear-down and rebuild project stopped by judicial action before... (???). 🙃
of course it was but he just goes ahead like the spoiled child that he is.. they keep giving him toys..
Hard to keep up with the back and forth.

You would have to be brain dead to vote for criminal Ken Paxton, given his track record. Cruz is hardly a credible endorsement of Paxton.

This is a semi-good news Friday. We can’t win them all, but the good news is we won some!
"You might win some but you just lost one"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdNFFC0p7N4
Good point. Happy Friday!
I don't understand why the courts took so long to stop the maniac from building his ballroom.
Cassidy just earned his front row seat in hell along with the rest of these deplorable exhuman beings!
Perhaps the "accidental" russian missile that hit poland last month wasn't really a mistake but a precursor of a nato country being attacked. testing the waters?? I'd say yes.

I bet Cassidy already has his i am so sorry speech ready. Just like with RFKjr.

Who have you heard from since you won? Anyone that surprised you?
My mom.
I hope that didn’t surprise you.
Nope.
I thought the new ballroom was going to cost $300 to $400 million, all funded by private donations. Did something change?
Not really. It was always going to be outlandishly expensive and taxpayers were always going to pay. Trump did what he does best: lied.
Yes, of course. But those are the figures he stated publicly.
It always increases because Trump changes the specs all the time. That’s why his Taj Mahal went belly up.
Can’t wait to read his ranting at 2:30 am about the ballroom. Sorry to read about the unemployment numbers, that should happen at the capital. 😂 go Texas…blue
