It's not lost on me that the part of the White House we are destroying is the part that has to do with women's history in the White House.
NEW: NBC News confirms that the Jacqueline Kennedy Garden, on the east side of the White House, has been destroyed as part of the demolition of the East Wing.

One thing I've learned from the Internet is that a lie needs 0% proof to be believed, but the truth requires thousands of pages of proof and still won't be believed.

Moldovans are due to vote on Sunday in a pivotal parliamentary election that will determine whether the country of 2.4 million people continues on its path towards joining the EU or drifts back into Moscow’s orbit, with widespread reports of Russian meddling.
The pro-western president, Maia Sandu, and her ruling Action and Solidarity party (PAS), which holds a parliamentary majority, face a stiff challenge from the Patriotic Electoral Bloc, an alliance of pro-Russian, Soviet-nostalgic parties led in part by the former president Igor Dodon, whom Sandu defeated in 2020.
