How about this .... no taxpayer $ can be used to build Trump's ballroom unless Congress approves the project. (Remember when Trump said it would be 100% privately funded?). Also, given his history of not paying bills, require Trump to put money for the project upfront/ in escrow to continue.

Yes, Donald, the ceasefire is over. It's been over. Now we have agreement on something.

Looks like 'the rose garden strategy' will be used by DJT at his 'state fair', despite having paved it over. And if he feels safe headlining a large rally on the WH lawn, maybe he doesn't need to build a new ballroom afterall. The Andrew W Mellon ballroom should still be enough.

Remember when Sandra Day O'Connor expressed regret for SCOTUS's intervention in the Bush v Gore election dispute in FL in 2000? She said, in retrospect, it harmed the reputation of SCOTUS and would be better to not get involved in state election disputes. How far we've come since then!

Steve Pearce for Director of BLM??? Are you kidding me? The man who blasted T Roosevelt for creating national forests and parks? This administration of lies has reached a new low.

John Roberts (2006): "It's a sordid business, this divvying us up by race". 2026: Let's instead allow gerrymandering of the (formerly United) states in America by political party, and consider it 'fixed'.

Trump got 5 draft deferments to avoid serving in Vietnam. He now claims he'd have ended that war in 5 months if he'd been president. It's unclear what era he embraces with his 'MAGA' nonsense, but J. Welch's 1954 'have you no sense of decency?' speech would be worth revisiting about now.

The 1918 flu pandemic killed somewhere between 45,000- 100,000 US soldiers in WW I. Sickened troops deploying globally from KS likely fueled the global spread. Alas, we had no vaccine then. Pete Hegseth just abolished the flu vaccine mandate for troops. What's the worst that could happen?

Notice how Trump waited until AFTER Holy Week (Good Friday, in particular) to self-identify as Jesus?

Sad truth -Obama would've been ok with Trump repackaging the original US deal with Iran and splashing his name across it... for Obama, what matters is the welfare of the U.S.. For Trump, it's all about ego. Enjoy your ego, Mr Trump, sir.

To the person who wrote "The Art of The Deal": Please report to the White House Oval Office immediately to once again assist the president. It's a matter of national security and international urgency.

TSA has had a tough situation for weeks - working short-staffed and without pay. Today their job got even worse. Now they do their same jobs, still short-staffed and without pay - while watching ICE agents do absolutely nothing,yet being paid to do nothing. Great morale boost, Mr Trump.

We need to stop naming stuff for living people - wait til they're gone and honor their memory. Also, avoid choosing names that were trademarked in anticipation of monetizing such 'honors'.

A neighbor painted this kingfisher on her house the day her aunt died, both to honor her aunt and to guide her through her transition to the afterlife.

So instead of handing over voter data, MN can now get rid of ICE by providing $50K in a take-out bag. No questions asked.

ICE fled Chicago just as judicial rulings came down, and just ahead of a snowstorm. Chicago temps are above freezing for 1st time in a week, and, as if these dainties were following the forecast, ICE returned to terrorize our communities. In above freezing temps, of course.

Sen J Thune - in all due respect, do you not understand how insurance works? You say ACA is filled w/ waste fraud and abuse-and more than half' of the insured never filed a claim last yr. It's NOT bec they didn't know they had insurance, as you claim! Please educate yourself on how insurance works.

So disappointing that Trump's civil rights Ass't AG Dhillon is stepping in to challenge IL's Assault Weapons Ban, particularly at this time. IL has a gun problem and is unable to stop the illegal flow of guns from IN into IL. Now Trump wants to undo the ban on assault weapons.

It's official- the purple people eaters are here in Chicago. Locals are nervous but hopeful and looking to Mr Johnson for leadership. We look forward to seeing what damage the Monsters of the Midway can do. Go Bears!

PSA: stimulant misuse Reminder - DON'T chew stimulants- it briefly enhances effect but wears off quicker, risking misuse /addiction. Too much causes aggression/hostility, restlessness, self absorption and paranoia. It may improve memory/cognitive function in elderly, but there are medical risks.

The soldier cosplay in DC is for Trump and the cameras. Trump claims Chicago is full of red hats ready to welcome 'his' military. Maybe it's time to reclaim red hats from political bondage. A sea of red hats with non-MAGA messages, maybe?

That Trump is willing to join this charade tonight is the best proof yet that DC's streets are 'safe'. But if he dresses up in tactical gear for the cameras I think I'll puke.

I'm confused. Is the military occupation of D.C. intended to reduce crime, arrest immigrants or safeguard the integrity of the Epstein files?

Sometime between 1/6/21 and 8/11/25, Donald Trump learned how to summon the Nat'l Guard in DC. What changed?
