Reporter: The president had initially said that this project wouldn't interfere with or touch the current structure.

Leavitt: If you look at the renderings, it's very clear the east wing was going to be modernized.

Reporter: But modernizing and tearing down are two different things.

Hope you all are having a blessed Thursday

WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.

Things like this keep happening.

"Destruction of federal property is a federal crime-18 U.S. Code § 1361 defines it as willfully injuring or committing any depredation of U.S. gov't property-Damage exceeding $1k is a felony w/ a fine-up to 10 yrs in prison or both"

Meanwhile-took me forever to get permits to repaint my mailbox.

🚨 Do ICE have MRE provisions? Oh, no. That’s a damn shame. All that income and no place to buy a meal. Hey, I know what they can eat… 1/2

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

COLLINS: So you're telling me you're willing to vote no every time?

BERNIE SANDERS: Damn right

He wants to dictate what the press can say.
What a university can teach.
Whom a company can employ.
And to whom the law shall apply.

He who wants all this is not a president,
But strives to be a dictator.
And all who succumb are not citizens,
But subjects.

Republicans would rather shut down the government than help millions of Americans afford health care. This article tells some of their stories, and is a good reminder of what’s at stake.

LOOK ALL AT THE GRAFFITI, SENATOR!!! WE MUST CALL IN THE 101ST AIRBORNE!!!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!! #WarRavagedPortland

Bravo to New Mexico on two fronts:

📌 Universal Childcare for every family

📌 Special Session next week to address Medicaid cuts and exploding insurance premiums caused by Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill and to take on the corporate hospital crisis

This should be nationwide!

Starbucks unions are practicing picketing as the company abuses its workers and denies them a fair contract.

This is your reminder to not cross a picket line and support workers!

NO CONTRACT, NO COFFEE.

Not just Unpopular! He's also the Most Unworthy-Unqualified-Unethical-Uneducated-Unprepared-Undemocratic-Unfortunate-Unhinged-Unjust-Unread-Unappealing-Unconscionable-Untrustworthy-Unscrupulous-Unstable-Unbearable-Unlikable-Unreliable-Unsound & Unctuous President in Modern American History. 🇺🇸 🙄

Mike Johnson said this kind of rhetoric is highly inflammatory and incites people.

Disney didn’t just incur a $3.8 billion loss overnight. If the boycott continues, it could escalate to over $20 billion. This is how you combat fascism.

STEWART: “Comedy doesn’t change the world, but it’s a bellwether— we’re the banana peel in the coal mine… authoritarians are the threat to comedy, music, art, thought… progress.”

Nailed it.

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

This is disgusting

Melinda Wharton Vaccines and Vaccine Policy, former ACIP Exe... After 39 years at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, I retired yesterday. I am heartbroken by what has happened at the agency since January, and I am afraid that the changes in the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices will have devastating consequences for public health. There still are thousands of smart and dedicated people at CDC, doing the same excellent work they have always done, but between the violent August 8 attack on the agency and the removal of the CDC Director and resignations of three senior leaders, it is a difficult place to be now. Thinking of my former colleagues and the agency that I still love, even though current leadership seem intent on destroying it.

💔 CDC continues to lose our best and brightest as science, health, and the American people remain under attack.

Our heartfelt thanks to Melinda Wharton.

Babies are dying of whooping cough and measles like they haven’t in decades. It’s time to #FireRFKjr and save ourselves.

How a person dies can never excuse how a person lives.

We should make her famous like the Phillies Baseball Karen.

We haven't forgotten.
We'll never forget.

Calling Black Children this….
UNACCEPTABLE

Sen. Warren Daniel (R–NC, District 46) was caught trading stocks right on the Senate floor.

Didn’t even wait for a break. Playing the market on the taxpayers’ time…pure abuse of power.
