Historic preservationists begged #Trump in October not to rapidly demolish the White House’s #EastWing annex for his #ballroom project, urging him to wait for federal review panels & allow the public to weigh in [begging & urging don’t work on him]. Now a group charged by #Congress with helping preserve historic buildings is asking a judge to block construction until those reviews occur, arguing the ongoing project is #illegal & #unconstitutional.
Just a bit too freaking late!
Maybe they could have done this BEFORE he demolished the entire #EastWing of the #WhiteHouse?!?!

"A lame-duck president who said he’d make life better for MAGA starting on 'day one' but has made life worse for MAGA by month 10.
He doesn’t even believe in lowering prices. He calls the affordability crisis a 'con' job."

Robert Reich asks why some Congressional Republicans are only now finding they have a spine. His response:
"Because the MAGA base that every congressional Republican is so afraid of and solicitous toward is falling apart.
They’re finally seeing Trump for what he is: a man without principle except getting richer and more powerful and engraving his name on buildings."
