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 to share photos of the demolition of parts of the White House’s East Wing

You thought wrong.

Anand Giridharadas to Andrew Cuomo: "First of all, governor, it's 'Mamdani.' This is a very big, diverse city you want to lead. We should get the names right."

White House begins demolishing East Wing facade to build Trump’s ballroom The president had claimed construction of the $250 million ballroom wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure.

I'm old enough to remember when David Broder said of Bill Clinton, "He came in here and he trashed the place, and it's not his place." Every day, in ways both literal and figurative, we now can see what trashing the place truly means. wapo.st/4hqBNiU

The entire "free speech on campus" moral panic was manufactured to blackmail us into making space in intellectual life for bigots and charlatans who couldn't get there on their own merits. Its a DEI scheme for fascism. Congratulations to everyone who took it at face value.

Trump earlier today when asked about the construction of the new ballroom:

“It won’t interfere with current building. It won’t be. It’ll be near it but not touching it — and pays total respect to the existing building, which I’m the biggest fan of.”

This is how it was left now overnight ⬇️

Just my luck. Still waiting to get paid!

The place looks like Israel was conducting “self defense” operations there.

Your regular reminder that Eli Honig is an idiot.

Trump yelling at kid mowing lawn meme but about everything being off the record

So happy for you!

A fundraising email sent by AIPAC that says: Dear [REDACTED], Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky has announced her retirement, and Illinois' 9th District will have an open primary for the first time in decades. Wasting no time to enter the race is anti-Israel detractor Kat Abughazaleh, a 25-year-old "social media influencer". Kat does not mince words when it comes to her thoughts on Israel and the bond between our two nations. Her radical foreign policy agenda includes: • Calls for unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state and labels Israel's presence in the West Bank as an "illegal occupation". • Baselessly blames Israel for the deaths of "tens of thousands" of Palestinians, without recognizing Hamas' initiation of the conflict on 10/7/23. • Promotes the International Criminal Court, a biased, antisemitic institution targeting Israel under the false guise of justice. And she's not just loud, she's well-funded - Abughazaleh has already raised nearly $1,000,000, positioning her as the financial frontrunner in the early stages of this race. If we don't act now, she could win. She poses a direct threat to our mission and the future of Israel's security. Fortunately, we have a fighter of our own: Illinois State Senator Laura Fine.

Yes, AIPAC. I do support human rights. Thanks for noticing!

Bowser will just rubber stamp it. She’s become a big time Trump appeaser.

Just compete and unmistakeable bigotry.

That is the Trump MAGA cult

My mother is ill; could really use some puppy, kitten and garden pics if you have them (she was an amazing gardener before Alzheimer’s took away her memory). Thanks in advance!

This is Ollie, the world’s oldest kitten. He is sending healing thoughts your mom’s way.🙏

It’s not a crash until it crashes by 1500%.🤣

The shrapnel that hit CHP vehicles over the weekend from Trump and Vance’s military live-munitions demonstration came from this type of ordnance.

It’s no small thing.

This is what the White House thought was fine to fly over civilians on a major freeway. Thankfully, the Governor closed it.

these are a different set of republican racist texts than the previous set of republican racist and nazi texts

You don’t belong with us, you absolute clown. Go hangout with your lobbyists.

Oh you're trying to say the cost of living is skyrocketing?

Donald Trump can't hear you over the sound of bulldozers demolishing a wing of the White House to build a new grand ballroom.

Why not just tear down the entire White House and build a gold palace with gold toilets? Why stop here?

The White House starts demolishing part of the East Wing to build Trump's ballroom Dramatic photos show construction equipment tearing into the East Wing façade and windows, though the federal agency that oversees such projects has not approved President Trump's 90,000-square-foot, $250 million ballroom.

The scene at Mar-a-Lago is as gross and creepy as you imagined, with these old pervs chasing their surgically enhanced prey with Trump acting as sick Degenerate-in-Chief. bsky.app/profile/mehd...

Lawyers for former FBI Director James Comey urged a judge Monday to dismiss the case against him, calling it a vindictive prosecution motivated by “personal animus” and orchestrated by a White House determined to seek retribution against a perceived foe of President Trump. https://to.pbs.org/4nhaBUX

The Democrats need to get a hell of a lot of cameras on the White House and plaster the photos everywhere. It's not just the brazen symbol of a megalomaniac destroying national heritage; it's happening during a government shutdown when ordinary people aren't getting paid. Make every American see it.

Many people are outraged that Trump is demolishing part of the White House. But of course Trump can't do it without help. It's ACECO LLC of Silver Spring MD ("full-service demolition") that is tearing down the People's House. You can call them and let them know how you feel. 1/
