The biggest renovation of the White House -- the so-called Truman Reconstruction of 1949-1952 -- came about only because the building was in such a state of disrepair that inspectors decided it was unsafe for occupancy. 
Not because the president just decided he needed a big fancy ballroom.

That means:
Itβs formally recognized as having exceptional national historical significance.
Any substantial changes, demolitions, or new construction affecting it are tightly restricted.
Itβs not his house! WTF.

            Good people need to start outing their ICE family members, neighbors, and community members.

            I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.
You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.
