Very good question. Seems no one in the military is taking their oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies both foreign and domestic very seriously anymore. Amirite?

Press Secretary, Shutdown Day 23: The ballroom is really Donald Trump’s main priority

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.

“This is Trump’s presidency in a single photo,” wrote Senator Elizabeth Warren, above a picture showing roof tiles and windowpanes cascading from the facade of the wing, having fallen victim to the excavators’ jaws. “Illegal, destructive, and not helping you.”

Trump administration live updates: White House Changes Course and Will Demolish Entire East Wing
The government may be shut down, but Trump is still managing to get some work done in Washington—like illegally demolishing an entire wing of the White House to build himself a ballroom.
Lifting a finger to lower your health care costs?
Not so much.
NEW: House Judiciary's Jamie Raskin is echoing Jack Smith's demand for public hearings:
"I am now calling on you to accept Mr. Smith's offer to testify at a public hearing so the American people can all hear directly from him on the matters we will be questioning him about." tinyurl.com/yrmrdr3t
Just a reminder that — in the middle of a shutdown — House Republicans are on a paid vacation solely to avoid releasing the Epstein files and lowering your health care costs.

We sued President Trump for targeting people showing up to their mandated immigration court hearings.
