Walz: "They are paying contractors to pay down the East Wing but they're not putting money into the food bank. So if there's a sense of frustration in America, it's very real ... when the White House press secretary said their top priority is the ballroom, we could not disagree more."

A picture of a white dinner plate with the following food on it: A piece of chicken that's stuffed with goat cheese, basil and minced onions, five pieces of bite sized oven roasted potatoes cut in half and sauteed brussel sprouts that are cut in half and are green with dark char marks.

What was on my plate last night:

I made basil, minced onion and goat cheese stuffed garlic chicken with seasoning, sauteed brussel sprouts with garlic, butter, salt and pepper and roasted bite sized gold potatoes seasoned with garlic, salt and pepper.🍽️🍜

Thank you so much!

Thank you!

Thank you, It is vibrant.

Yes they do. I'm glad there are things in the garden that provide food for them when a lot of other food sources have gone.

A close up picture of hybrid Dahlia flowers. There's a flower in front that has round multiple layered petals that form a starburst pattern. The bottom layers are yellow with red tips, the middle layers are red with yellow tips and the top layers are red with yellow tips and it has a yellow center. There is another one partially showing to its right.

More hybrid Dahlia blooms.

Ignore all laws about altering historic properties ✅
Pave over Rose Garden for tacky Mar-A-Lardo Patio ✅
Demolish East Wing after lying that "It won't interfere with the current building. It'll be near it but not touching it" ✅
Build gaudy $250M Ballroom as public struggles financially ✅

#Ugh🤢✅

He's destroying the White House like he's destroying the country. It's disgraceful.

omg!

"Demolition crews have begun tearing down part of the White House...

"Construction teams Monday were demolishing a portion of the East Wing, with a backhoe ripping through the structure..."

A very close up picture of a Coneflower (Echinacea) flower. It's a daisy-like flower that has peach florets that look like petals that droop downwards. The florets attach to a yellow spiky cone shaped center that contains its pollen producing structures.

Joy blossoms where seeds of kindness and love have been planted.

It's so annoying to watch his continuous lies and delusions. We are tired.

They finally came. I didn't think I was ever going to get them. ❤️‍🔥

They're doing zero work while their healthcare and salaries are being paid for by us taxpayers. The Republicans want to make healthcare worse or nonexistent for everyone except themselves.

These watches appear to be ripoffs of famous designs. Likely from some factory that normally produces "homage" watches and they just swapped out the branding.

He's so pathetic. I'm not the least bit surprised. Bootleg watches being peddled by a criminal squatting in the White House.

A close up picture of a pink flower on a 'Endless Summer' hydrangea shrub. It has a lot of small clover shaped flower clusters that form a round shape. They resemble butterflies in flight. It has green leaves that are turning burgundy on the tips. They're in a Michigan fall garden.

Happy Friday! It's fall and the 'Endless Summer' hydrangea leaves are turning a beautiful burgundy color. 🌱
