The West Wing is now just the Wing.

Sending troops to San Francisco? Do it and we’ll sue.

We don’t bow to kings. We defend the Constitution.

We’ve received a lot of questions about Trump’s demolition of the White House East Wing.

Here’s how the process is supposed to work:

Chris Hayes and Senator Chris Murphy on All in with Chris Hayes on MSNBC.

“We are not a functional nation with a rule of law any longer, and those toppled walls in the East Wing are a stark reminder of that.”

Perfectly said @chrismurphyct.bsky.social!

This is rich.

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.

The President is building an army to attack his own country.

The Trump administration is adamant that people not take or share photos of the White House destruction, so please keep this photo amongst us.

This might be a case of too little, too late.

The Real Target of Trump’s War on Drug Boats The Administration has blown up seven vessels in the Caribbean in recent weeks, but the President has been pushing for more dramatic military action in Latin America since his first term.

Valuable reporting here. I think the key thing is the use of Venezuela to accustom American armed forces to lawless murder. The goal then is to get them to do the same thing inside the US.

Or attempt coups

Do they think the big flags will help the image?!!

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

NEW: AZ AG Kris Mayes and Adelita Grijalva have filed suit asking the court to declare Grijalva a member of the House once she's sworn in, and if Johnson won't do it, to allow someone else to. www.abc15.com/news/state/a...

Exceptional piece, even by her usual high standards.

Nicolle Wallace opened Deadline: White House with it and showed part of the video. It was also discussed by Ayman Moyheldin over the weekend. Surprisingly, Mika Brzezinski briefly referred to it on Morning Joe today. In other words…not much coverage.

“The ballroom structure will be the first structural change to executive residence since the addition of the Truman balcony in 1948. McCrery’s design will realize a 90,000-square-foot ballroom “substantially separated from” the White House’s East Wing.”

Disgraced criminal President’s foundation gives peace prize to twice impeached criminal President. Meaningful. 🤣

Remember ‘deplorables’?! I guess propaganda for the right is ok.

We need to remind the public what those Democrat priorities are…affordable healthcare, affordable housing, access to assistance for those in need, childcare, education and scientific research……

Trump demolishing the White House, shitting on protesters and making memes of himself wearing a crown is a clear message.

He’s declaring it’s not the people’s house anymore.

The media failing to cover it as such confirms we don’t have a fourth estate anymore. It’s all just state propaganda now.

Even though we fought a revolution to reject a king, we have somehow never recovered from the infatuation with royalty. The average American believes the President could never go to jail. It’s an assumption of royalty at some level. We need to get over it.

Exclusive | Treasury Tells Employees Not to Share Photos of White House Ballroom Construction Images of the demolition of parts of the East Wing went viral on Monday, and Treasury’s headquarters next door to the White House has a front-row seat.

“The Treasury Department instructed employees not to share photos of the demolition of parts of the White House’s East Wing after images of construction equipment dismantling the facade of the building went viral online.”

Parade of horribles.

👀⚖️‼️ It's the same thing that Trump did to the Bonwit Teller building in NY. news.artnet.com/art-world/do... #WhiteHouse #destruction

Another timeline cleanse to temporarily replace the image of the East Wing of the White House being torn down…🤣🤣
