Inside Trump’s Push to Make the White House Ballroom as Big as Possible

The way this is being handled is revolting. Bypassing all regulatory agencies to build this is wrong. Building a structure that dwarfs the executive mansion is grotesque.

Juneteenth Goes Uncelebrated at White House as Trump Complains About ‘Too Many’ Holidays

Of course his only remarks would be about a useless holiday with bad syntax. It's deep seeded racism and an ignorance of basic grammar.

That's crazy. He's a handsome young man now. Where did the little boy go?

My god, Sean is growing up so much!

Trump order targets transgender troops and ‘radical gender ideology’ The president’s executive order took aim at transgender individuals in personal terms, noting that physical and mental health conditions make them “incompatible” with military service.

Boy, trump is just airing his personal bigotry in targeting our transgendered Americans.

How the oil industry and growing political divides turned climate change into a partisan issue The climate policy pendulum is swinging back again with Trump in office. Money, lobbying and talking about red vs. blue states all play a role in the political and public divide.

Someday, I hope the fossil fuel industry is held accountable for these cover-ups like tobacco was.

⚠️ 🧵On Pete Hegseth.

Hegseth refuses to answer if he supports the use of active duty military in US detention camps.

Fairly confident we ALL know the answer.

But wait, there’s more!

Thank you Elissa Slotkin! Already hitting hard in the Senate! I'm so happy that we voted her in to rep Michigan.

Congratulations to the seniors who voted for the Cheeto! Your Rx drug prices are going to go up. Trump rescinded Biden's order 14087 that brought Rx prices down for Medicare/ Medicaid recipients. Drugs that were capped at $2? Not any more! The admin obviously didn't care about your limited income.

Get ready folks, starting February 1, your produce prices are going to be 25% higher! Mexico is the primary provider of produce in the US. Tariffs are going to make all produce cost more.

No lies told in this headline.

Presidents should not be allowed to pardon people they egged on into committing their crimes. It's not forgiveness, it's lawlessness.

Elon Musk appears to make back-to-back fascist salutes at inauguration rally Tech billionaire wades into controversy after shooting right arm on upwards diagonal during celebrations of Trump

It is terrifying that the man who our new president seems to most trust as an advisor just gave a Nazi salute at the inauguration on MLK day.
