Democrats have been winning the shutdown. Americans are with them. Caving in now is just political suicide.

The shutdown is dragging on. But Americans aren’t tiring of Democrats’ demands. | CNN Politics
The federal government shutdown became the longest in history on Wednesday. It’s now in its 37th day.

The National Trust for Historic Preservation — a nonprofit created by Congress to help preserve historic buildings — also called Tuesday to pause demolition of the East Wing until Trump's project could go through a transparent review.
October 21, 2025 Mr. William Scharf, Chair National Capital Planning Commission 401 Ninth Street NW, Suite 500N Washington, DC 20004 Ms. Jessica Bowron Acting Director, National Park Service National Park Service 1849 C Street NW Washington, DC 20240 Ms. Billie Tsien, Chair Commission of Fine Arts 401 F Street NW, Suite 312 Washington, DC 20001-2728 Re: Proposed Construction of White House Ballroom Mr. Scharf, Ms. Bowron, and Ms. Tsien, The National Trust for Historic Preservation in the United States (“National Trust”) is a private charitable, educational, nonprofit corporation headquartered in Washington, D.C. and chartered by Congress in 1949 to further the historic preservation policy of the United States. 54 U.S.C. § 312102(a). This Congressional charter obligates the National Trust to “facilitate public participation in the preservation of sites, buildings, and objects of national significance or interest.” Our mission is to protect America’s significant historic sites and to advocate for historic preservation as a core public value. President Trump has proposed the construction of a 90,000-square-foot ballroom on the east side of the White House campus, adjacent to the historic Treasury Building. Site preparation is already underway, including the demolition of a portion of the existing East Wing. While the National Trust acknowledges the utility of a larger meeting space at the White House, we are deeply concerned that the massing and height of the proposed new construction will overwhelm the White House itself—it is 55,000 square feet—and may also permanently disrupt the carefully balanced classical design of the White House with its two smaller, and lower, East and West Wings The federally recognized Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation offer clear guidance for construction projects affecting historic properties. The Standards provide that new additions should not destroy the historic fabric of the property and that the new work should be compatible with existing massing, size, scale, and architectural features. Owned by the American people, the White House was designed by Irish architect James Hoban, whose winning proposal was selected by President George Washington. The building respects Georgian and neoclassical principles. It is a National Historic Landmark, a National Park, and a globally recognized symbol of our nation’s ideals. We respectfully urge the Administration and the National Park Service to pause demolition until plans for the proposed ballroom go through the legally required public review processes, including consultation and review by the National Capital Planning Commission and the Commission of Fine Arts, and to invite comment from the public. These processes provide a crucial opportunity for transparency and broad engagement—values that have guided preservation of the White House under every administration going back to the public competition in 1792 that produced the building’s original design. Doing so will help ensure that the project both honors the exceptional historic significance of the White House and acknowledges the investment that the American people have in the preservation of this beloved place. The National Trust stands ready to assist the White House, the National Park Service, and relevant review agencies in exploring design alternatives and modifications that would accomplish the objectives of the Administration while preserving the historic integrity and symbolism of the People’s House. As we approach the 250th Anniversary of our country’s founding, the preservation of historic places that represent our nation’s history has never been more relevant or important. We urge you…

I keep thinking about this video. There is no way they had probable cause or a warrant on that guy. Like every single other person, it’s just straight (attempted) kidnapping by the state with no legal authority.

Because the law is on life support in America while Dem electeds post about healthcare.

And once again: I think it’s better than even odds that the person who popped him was on the right. They need to deal with their violence problem. Both state-sanctioned and state-incited.

My hands are fucking clean.

I made a 3 minute epic film about Napoleon’s 100 days. I used painting and old movie footage; all if which are in the public domain. Let me know what you think. #battleofwaterloo #waterloo #napoleon

Hey, fans of The Gilded Age television series: I made a short reel about HBO's The Gilded Age. Entertainment imitates history and history imitates entertainment. #hbothegildedage #thegildedage #gildedagehbo #gildedage #hbomax #blueskyart #morganspector

Patently absurd that the Democrats spent most of last week going after Zohran Mamdani instead of focusing on rallying against the bill

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid
