Reading this in print @jonronson has an amazing anecdote about how GQ’s photographer got this picture of Sean Duffy — and the photographer’s uhh less successful experience with Stephen Miller https://t.co/EhdZIZuLbv 7.8K views · 16 likes · 8 reposts · 0 replies 04 Sep 2026 Trump is emboldened on his construction agenda, following the Supreme Court's ballroom ruling. Burgum announced today work will start on Trump's arch. DOJ lawyers also asked a federal judge today to throw out a legal challenge to arch, citing SCOTUS ballroom ruling precedent. h 4.8K views · 30 likes · 22 reposts · 3 replies 03 Sep 2026 @ddiamond Not just “norms and rules” in this term: laws and the Constitution. 96 views · 5 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies 02 Sep 2026 It's now unclear who can — or will — stop Trump’s ballroom and some of his other DC projects. The GOP-led Congress has mostly shrugged at his plans, and this week's Supreme Court ruling could limit legal challenges. Much more here with @jjouvenal. https://t.co/QGgRFy6YSn 1.4K views · 17 likes · 10 reposts · 1 replies 02 Sep 2026 We've written a lot about Trump's physical changes to DC — from tearing down trees to rapidly building his ballroom. One question we keep getting: How is he doing this? Answer: ignoring norms and rules that constrained past presidents, remaking panels and outracing the courts. 14K views · 139 likes · 88 reposts · 22 replies 02 Sep 2026 Per @BenMullin's reporting tonight, it appears Simmons did a few ChatGPT-Ebert segments months ago and ended them after co-hosts publicly pushed back?

Who can issue a cease and desist order putting a stop to this insanity? Trump will destroy the White House if he isn’t stopped. Who is funding this? Taxpayers? @HouseDemocrats @RepJeffries @ 4.6K views · 104 likes · 21 reposts · 4 replies 04 Aug 2026 A small federal agency deciding whether to approve Trump's ballroom has received tens of thousands of public comments. More than 97% oppose the project, per @washingtonpost analysis.
