"I oppose the spending of $300 million on this project, which was initiated without the proper authorization, permits, or design review. It is not a modernization project but rather a complete razing of American history. I want this project canceled, & the East Wing rebuilt and restored to its former design. No one is above the law & to permit this project to go ahead without penalizing those who broke the law would be an affront to all law-abiding Americans."

Sara Paretsky provides a link to the National Planning Commission website that allows people to provide feedback about the demolition of the East Wing of the White House and plans to built a tacky, glitzy, vanity-project Trump ballroom in its place.

She quotes the feedback Anara Guard provided at this link:

"if Kristi Noem can bang her sidepiece (allegedly!) in a queen-size bed whilst jetting off to her next LARP function, if she can have some chilled wine during the trip, and if her tuchus can be kept sparkling clean by the bidets in her luxury, taxpayer-funded jet, your sacrifices will have been worth it."

"and housing may still be prohibitively expensive, and America’s standing in the world may be kaput, and the rest of the planet may loathe us.

"Your healthcare premiums may have shot up, and the nice guy who runs the neighborhood dry cleaners may have disappeared, and you may be in an ICE concentration camp sleeping on the tile floor of one room with 50 other people and one open toilet, and the funding for your research into an mRNA vaccine for cancer may have gone up in smoke," (continued in /10)

"And they should care because Trump only has immunity for official acts and there is no way to construe corruption that is explicitly forbidden by the Constitution as official."

"Why don’t people care that the president and members of his cabinet are stealing us blind, are by far, by far, the most corrupt administration in history?

No…why? Journalists, opposition politicians, average Americans, patriots, law enforcement…everyone should care about this. They should care because it’s outrageous. They should care because it undermines our system and gives influence to the highest bidder."

"Or at least say both parties are similarly corrupt.

That is a (to me) infuriating but consistent finding in the data: Trump has at least fought the corruption issue to a draw—and may actually be winning it."

"This is the most corrupt administration of all time, and everybody knows it.

But if you pick a person at random in the country and ask him or her, which of the two major parties is most corrupt—a question that’s easily answerable if you already know that “this is the most corrupt administration of all time”—he or she will likely as not say 'Democrats.'”

"Trump’s interest in being added to Mount Rushmore does not appear to be related to a desire to advance the interests of the American people. In September 2025 the IRS granted tax-exempt status to the Donald Trump Mount Rushmore Memorial Legacy, making it a charity that can accept tax-free donations.

Happy Presidents Day 2026."

"Because of the trademark filing, Gerben notes, any airport adopting the Trump name would have to get a license to use the name, potentially paying a licensing fee. Gerben emphasizes that while it is common for public officials to have landmarks named after them, 'never in the history of the United States' has 'a sitting president’s private company…sought trademark rights' before such a naming."
