Shaming businesses who do business with the Trump regime is righteous work. https://www.thebanner.com/economy/growth-development/aceco-donald-trump-white-house-east-wing-demolition-ballroom-JYH3KX4SYVAG5KWWZZ2NSSPUPE/
The president, according to NPR, has moved ahead with his $250 million idea without consent from the National Capital Planning Commission, which approves major renovations to federal buildings in the Washington, D.C., area. The commission is closed due to the federal shutdown, according to its website.
(Hey, amazing what they can do when they've got the government closed. Will they ever reopen?)

To recap the billionaire class war on working people:
•$100M on Trump golf trips
•$172M for jets for ICE Barbie
•$230M in DOJ payments to Trump
•$250M for a vanity ballroom no one asked for
•$40 BILLION to Argentina while our farmers suffer
•$117 BILLION in annual tax cuts to the super wealthy 1%
•$170 BILLION ICE budget to round up Americans like Gestapo
Meanwhile, this is a real actual headline in 2025 America under Trump:
•Trump admin warns of "insufficient funds" for food stamps
I'm looking for a 25% wealth tax/year on families worth more than $200m, dropping to 5% when they're down to $78m.

Today, senior executives from CBC/RadioCanada came to testify before the Standing Senate Committee on Transport and Communications. I had the chance to ask a lot of questions. But I made sure to ask why the CBC is still committed to X - and why they haven't investigated Mastodon (and Bluesky). Here's my exchange with CEO Marie-Philippe Bouchard and Editor in Chief @brodiefenlon. #CBC #Mastodon #X #Bluesky #SRC #Canada #cdnpoli #SenateofCanada #TRCM #CanadianBroadcastingCorporation #SocialMedia https://youtu.be/lJUeQZlvD-E?si=msTknV5VyaI-drCD
@brodiefenlon when will CBC News join us & lead by example? Sen. Paula Simons asked:
“Why is CBC still on X — full of hate & disinfo — & not exploring Mastodon, a non-commercial, Canadian-friendly space for public media?”
NPR 🇺🇸 & ABC Australia 🇦🇺 left X, proving you can walk from billionaire-run chaos & still reach ppl. Let’s ask CBC to join the ppl’s social media — the Fediverse. Boost & tag @CBCNews to follow their own EIC here!
