If I donate some $ to the new WH ballroom as a regular citizen, will I get an invitation?

Spoiler alert: I'm not going to donate :)

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

The President of the United States just called me a "gnat" who we have to "take care of". Chilling.

Unsafe to have all military leaders in one place at one time. This could have been accomplished via secure teleconference. Major unforced and expensive error by #Hegseth and #Trump.

Rep. Golden is only Democrat to vote with Republicans as House passes temporary funding bill The 2nd District congressman broke with the rest of his party's members, many of whom said they were worried about the discretion that the bill gives the Trump administration on spending decisions.

Why is House Rep Golden only Democrat to vote for GOP funding plan? www.pressherald.com/2025/03/11/r...

If I were a billionaire, I would create something new & independent like "United Comedy Network" online. Invite Kimmel, Colbert, Fallon, Meyers, Oswalt, etc. to create content for it. Free from corporate and government influence. #FirstAmendment #Trump

The President decided to rename the Department of Defense as the Department of War.

While this gimmick won't distract from the Epstein files and this administration's economic failures, it will certainly cost taxpayers a fortune, with estimates ranging over a billion dollars.

The Epstein Letter Is Real, and It’s Bad The president’s initial strategy of denying that the document exists leaves him with few options now that it has been made public.

Donald Trump decried The Wall Street Journal's report of a letter he wrote to Jeffrey Epstein as "malicious and defamatory"β€”conceding that, were it real, it would be pretty bad. "Guess what? It's real. And it's bad," @jonathanchait argues. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
