The East Wing was built in 1902 & rebuilt in 1942, long after asbestos was used as a fire retardant. So, I’m sure the White House took steps to prevent a known carcinogen from entering the air during the current willy-nilly demolition.
Kidding! These irresponsible assholes don’t care who they kill.
Stop listening to him and his lies

Image of an X post from @JessicaTarlov showing a screenshot of her on "The Five" on Fox News, with the chyron "DEMS SHOOT DOWN BILL THAT WOULD END GOVT SHUTDOWN" and the time "2:02." The post reads: "Republicans can mock Democrats all they want, but the numbers don’t lie. By a 17 point margin, Americans blame the GOP for the shutdown. And Americans overwhelmingly back extending ACA subsidies—71% in WaPo, 78% in the KFF poll. This has nothing to do with 'healthcare for illegal immigrants,' and Trump knows it."
End the shutdown, GOP. Extend the ACA subsidies. Stop shoving more money at the billionaires.

Friendly reminder: In 2018 trump refused to fly flags at half-staff after Senator John McCain's death.
He can fuck off into the sun.
My main observation from the last few hours of monitoring US social media is that Democrats are universally denouncing political violence and calling for calm while MAGA are escalating language and openly lusting for retribution against broad categories of people they identity as their enemies.

Everyone in DC knows that if you want to hide something, announce it on a Friday in August. Better yet, make it nearly impossible to track down.
That's exactly what SCOTUS did last week. But the news is too staggering to hide for long: SCOTUS has decided it's time to destroy the Voting Rights Act.
