Anyone think it’s really odd that the government of the United States of America is suddenly focused on rushing the construction of a ballroom?

Blanche: "We absolutely believe there is no better example of why this ballroom is necessary than what happened on Saturday night. Aside from the fact the ballroom is spectacular, it's gonna be beautiful, it's gonna make this country look great, it's a meaningful safety issue."

If one congressman can help get a business shut down for the suffering and deaths of 30 sloths kept in a warehouse, imagine what 535 members of Congress should be able to do to prevent the deaths and suffering of humans kept in warehouse prison camps all across America.

They cut cancer research then want to spray our food with cancer causing chemicals.

SCOTUS will hear a case about the weedkiller glyphosate on Monday. Big MAHA protest planned. The Trump administration backs Bayer, the weedkiller's maker, reversing a position taken by Biden. Here's a great primer from @HirokoTabuchi nytimes.com/2026/04/26/cli…

Roundup often gets a bad rap since it, you know, causes cancer and other terminal illnesses. But don’t forget it played a huge role in collapsing the bee population, which may lead to the most deaths in the long run.

The controversial weed killer Roundup is now being deployed in private and public forests at record rates. We go inside the secret plan that helped make it possible. motherjones.com/politics/2026/…

@anna_c_kramer Where does he keep getting all this money from? How does he just have unlimited access to $Billions?

The Trump administration is paying another ~$900 million to get two more companies to give up their offshore wind leases.
That means that federal govt has now agreed to pay out nearly $2 billion to stop three future offshore wind projects.

@mehdirhasan Can anyone, any journalist tell us what this Ballroom business is all about?
English
I feel like I’m losing my mind. This can’t be real. Is this real? Is it a movie? A dream?
They’re all just obsessed… with straight faces.. about… a fucking ballroom?
Acyn@Acyn
Lindsey Graham says they are going introduce legislation that’s going to authorize 400 million dollars to be spent on building the ballroom: We pay for it by offsetting it with customs fees. The sooner we get the ballroom built, the better it is for the country.

@Amy_Siskind And the $100's of Millions he's already extorted from businesses and individuals for this stupidity, that just goes into his Qatar bank account. Poof, All Gone. 💰💰💩😞🤬😡
English
Don’t blink, the ballroom that has gone from a ballroom in its initial plan, to a national security tool, now according to three GOP Senators, should also be paid for by the American taxpayers. All $400 million of it!
There’s an election in 6 months. Vote them ALL OUT!

It's all in messaging. Think bbc toned it down because King is in town? Just a thought.
Besides, why is King here? Has UK not kissed enough t*p ass, genuflected enough, coddled him enough through their PM's to satisfy him? Not sure what they hope to realistically achieve.
Alan MacLeod@AlanRMacLeod
Same day, same outlet (the BBC): Somalis "hijack" ships. The US merely "boards" them. This is how consent is manufactured in real time.

U.S. billionaires increased their wealth by over $1.5 trillion so far over the last year.
Our system is designed by the very rich to exploit and extract wealth from everyone else.

Yikes! Fox 5 caught on hot mic talking about the security at the Correspondents Dinner.
"They have like two random chicks holding the front door open. Like guys, they're not even trying anymore...they're not even secret service people. It's like the girls who work here are holding the door."
English
@IAmPoliticsGirl That's the general Plan. Not all, just 90% or so. Leaving behind a resource rich land with a few million oligarch elite inhabitants, their slaves and their robots.

Trump today, asked about pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell:
"I have to look at it. We will have to see. We will be looking at it very strongly."
The only person convicted in the trafficking enterprise. Floated for pardon by the man whose name appears throughout the files.

@JenSiebelNewsom 😂😂😂😂😭😭😂😭🤣🥳🥳
Been 11+ years of this on a near daily basis. Yea, we're pretty cooked. All those 4-5-6 year old children of maga who've listened to; idolized this guy for a decade+ are now teenagers. Hateful, cruel, new adults ready to carry on an even uglier future maga.

My family and I watched the 60 Minutes interview with Donald Trump and Norah O’Donnell last night, and we were shocked. Seeing a president speak to a woman journalist with that level of contempt — and a clear allergy to facts — is disturbing, though at this point not unexpected given his pattern of behavior.
But that is the problem. Because when that level of disrespect from the highest office in the country repeats itself, it starts to trickle down into our culture and define what power looks like, shaping how boys and plenty of men see women and girls and what they come to accept as normal behavior.

KAROLINE LEAVITT: “The White House ballroom is not just a fun project for President Trump. It is critical for our national security.”
No, the fuck it isn’t.

@45bestwords Would add a BIG third, strengthen and help Russia while weakening US in every way possible.
English
Trump has two priorities:
Stay out of Prison
Take as much money as possible
That's all his Presidency is about. The rest is BS.

I will never understand how so many of y’all were hoodwinked into believing the government should not use the money you pay in taxes to create a social safety net that benefits you, fund public healthcare, lower housing costs, and make daily life more affordable.

@dcpetterson An older outdated chart too.
In America today, they simply no longer indict gop admins for crimes, so his number could actually drop, while looting $100's of billions from US Treasury and taking $Billions in bribes. All while being a pedophile rapist. Huh, now that's crazy.
English
Handy chart here of the last 10 presidents, the number of federal indictments of Administration officials each president had while in office, and then the average number of indictments per year. There's kind of a pattern here.

@DeanObeidallah All he does is lie, unfortunately, his lie travels a 1000 times around the world before any response can be mounted. And the response is lucky if it travels once around the world. We're getting so clobbered on messaging from t*p and maga. 🤬

Trump on 60 Minutes claimed the WHCD gunman was "strongly anti-Christian." The gunman was actually proudly Christian and cited his faith in his manifesto as a reason he can't remain complicit in Trump's crimes. It's LIES like this by Trump that further fuel the belief this was a Trump production.

In 2019, my son was in a school during a shooting. He heard the shots. Children died. He and his friends had to hide with their teacher from a fucking active shooter. He had such bad PTSD he would lock the door behind me when I'd take the garbage out and didn't drive for years because he was too claustrophobic. 60 Minutes even did an episode on the Ghost Gun the shooter used.
A ballroom wouldn't have changed a fucking thing.
Enough of what Trump wants for Trump
Children come FIRST
He still goes on stage at rallies with ease.
Ballroom, my ass. This is about having the last word in court. ENOUGH.
