Trump's Ballroom Will 'Overwhelm' White House, National Trust Warns Preservationists fear for how Trump's planned 90,000-square-foot ballroom will sit alongside the White House itself, which is about 55,000 square feet.

The president of France, Emmanuel Macron, experienced a frustration that many New Yorkers know all too well. He got stuck on a Manhattan street corner. It had been closed off for President Trumpโ€™s motorcade during the UN General Assembly. nyti.ms/46F5esx

Reminder on how this intersects with Free Speech:

ABC/Disney is a private corporation and are allowed to make these decisions for their views.

BUT theyโ€™re not allowed to be bullied by the government/FCC because of what is said on air.

The administration that most complained about cancel culture now routinely fires, intimidates, or silences its critics.

Trump is systematically silencing dissent โ€“ a direct attack on all of our First Amendment rights. We wonโ€™t be silenced.

This being said, I do like Brent Pry, whereas I couldnโ€™t stand Fuente. I wish it ended better for Pry, but I literally chose to mute the TV and read during the second half yesterday

Fox News host, Brian Kilmeade, calls for the extermination of homeless people. But itโ€™s the liberals that are stoking political violence?!

Theyโ€™re trying to silence the truth-tellers. Donโ€™t let them. Loudly and relentlessly call out their hypocrisy.

Be mad. Be outraged. Demand accountability.

I get itโ€™s hard to ask women out etc. but please learn to take a hint. If you ask a friend for her friends number and she replies that she โ€œthinks her friend is seeing someone right nowโ€ - please do not then follow up with โ€œcan you ask her to check?โ€ ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ

Please, this isnโ€™t about saving money.

Republicans just exploded the debt by at least 4 trillion dollars!!!

To fund tax cuts for billionaires.

Defunding Big Bird and Elmo isnโ€™t going to fix that mess.

Neither is defunding programs to help starving children.

โ€œPresident Trump and Secretary of State Rubio are once again making America less safe and less secure. A strong State Departmentโ€”one that is not only fully staffed, but staffed by qualified experts free from political pressureโ€”is essential to our national security. This is one of the most ridiculous decisions that could possibly be made at a time when China is increasing its diplomatic footprint around the world and establishing an overseas network of military and transportation bases, Russia is continuing its years-long brutal assault of a sovereign country, and the Middle East is careening from crisis to crisis. Our dedicated State Department workforce, their families, and the American people deserve better.โ€
