NEW: After The Washington Post reported Monday on the demolition of the "East Wing facade," a new picture obtained by Law Dork that was taken on Tuesday shows that a substantial portion of the entirety of the East Wing has been demolished.

So by that logic that Bower is "not a journalist" (which of course she is), then Halligan has even LESS right to demand "off the record" even if she did it the right way by asking Bower first (which she didn't, of course).

Not that I'm defending them, but it's actually hard to see East Executive Ave from a public vantage point - maybe from top of the W Hotel. But unless Treasury press room reporters have freedom to go over there, it's hard to access that area generally. They closed that pedestrian road ~20+ years ago.

What’s been great about seeing all the protests today is the sheer level of peacefulness at every single one of them.

Officials said they discovered tens of thousands of stolen Lego pieces at a California home this week. They arrested a man who was charged with, among things, organized retail theft and conspiracy to commit a felony.

I was on Virginia Ave NW by Watergate a month or so ago where there are ample bike lanes and some jerk whizzed by me on the narrow sidewalk. I mentioned to him the bike lanes and he rudely told me to basically F off.

"Jewish Americans told us β€”by a margin of nearly 3 to 1β€” that Trump manipulates antisemitism dishonestly, using it as an excuse to pause or cut university funding. Only about one-fourth of all Jews nationwide believe the president β€œtruly cares about protecting Jewish students on college campuses.”"

Something else that has never happened before in American history, as the Trump admin continues to piss on the Bill of Rights while Republicans in Congress continue to remain silent. Another thing to protest on Saturday.

Biden's cease-fires got 135 living hostages released. Trump's got 20 (which is less than it would have been had he enforced the continuation of the January cease fire).

There were at least two ceasefires under Biden! In which more than five times as many living Israeli hostages were released in exchange for 240 Palestinians! Has everyone forgotten this?

Hard to know what’s more chilling: that he actually believes this β€” or knows better and doesn’t care.

Just 'cause it has to be said every now and then.

GOP Senators and Representatives are obviously okay with...everything...that's happening.

And instead the president, his people and Rs are making jokes and memes on social media while real Americans are being hurt. Farmers at risk of going bankrupt bc of tariffs and families ripped apart bc of unlawful immigration raids.

Ridiculous text on the front of hud.gov: The Radical Left are going to shut down the government and inflict massive pain on the American people unless they get their $1.5 trillion wish list of demands. The Trump administration wants to keep the government open for the American people.

So they gave $4 trillion in tax cuts to the wealthy and slash SNAP, education, Medicare and Medicaid for millions among other things and suddenly they’re worried about $1.5 trillion to restore and preserve healthcare. This is literally on HUD.gov website front page.

Smart move by two young upstate NY reporters: they filed a FOIA for body cameras worn by the sheriff’s deputies at an ICE raid. These are almost always civil raids so there’s no ongoing criminal investigation that would require that footage to stay confidential. Replicable by any media outlet.

Keep in mind when you watch #JimmyKimmel tonight that while he's back for now (without Sinclair and Nexstar his ratings will decline enough to cancel him later) there is a legion of people who lost their jobs who aren't famous, wouldn't have been personally OK anyway, and won't get their jobs back.
