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.
"I did not vote for this," one 3x Trump voter wrote.

I know Steven Spielberg has made a ton of classics, but ranking RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK his *14th* best movie strikes me as bizarre.
(The 14th best movie of all time, maybe.)

“Hours before Friday’s deadline, two courts denied the Kennedy Center’s last-ditch attempt to delay the removal, even as crews erected scaffolding next to the building.”

New in @playbookdc: Air rehearsal for the UFC fight Sunday held up angry midwestern members of Congress on the runway at DCA yesterday.
The pilot informed the peeved passengers that if they wanted to register their frustration, they should call their congressperson.

Trump saw about a dozen medical specialists for his past check-ups as president, his doctors said.
This year? 22 specialists — appearing to set a new bar.
The White House said they're just being thorough. Outside doctors have questions.

IN CUSTODY: Said Abdullahi Ereg – the FIRST EVER arrest of a “Most Wanted Fraudsters” since the White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud released our Most Wanted Fraudsters list last week. Ereg just landed in Minneapolis and was taken into custody after turning himself in. He has been wanted on federal charges since 2024.
Ereg allegedly stole over $4 million from the Federal Child Nutrition Program in Minneapolis during the COVID-19 pandemic from 2020-2021. He allegedly falsely claimed to have served meals to children in need, claiming fake reimbursements from the government, and then laundered the money through foreign accounts to fund a lavish lifestyle. He is charged with Conspiracy to Commit Wire Fraud, Wire Fraud, and Money Laundering.
When @VP Vance led the way for the Most Wanted Fraudsters list through the @WhiteHouse @WHFraudTF – this was exactly the righteous goal the Task Force had in mind – to bring to justice all those who have stolen money from hardworking American taxpayers. This historic result is only the beginning - and let it be a message to any fraudster who takes advantage of America, this team will find you. @DAGToddBlanche @FBIMinneapolis

As @washingtonpost reported today, the cranes to build the arch are expected to be even higher — perhaps 320 feet tall.
That circle, Memorial Circle, is where Trump wants to build his 250-foot tall Triumphal Arch.
I took this from a flight landing at DCA. Our altitude? 600 feet.
That's only 350 feet of vertical separation.

Democrats say Trump is bulldozing through necessary, required reviews to speed his projects.
"Running through all these incidents is an inexplicable disregard for legal process," @SenBlumenthal wrote to park service leaders, asking for documents.
