1. This is the insanity of the Trump regime - and its evil:

The not knowing what’s true or false, what's serious or just trolling – it’s one of countless reasons why Trump is unfit to be president.

2. this is his hand-picked commission

There will be plenty of lawsuits that might slow down the construction of this monstrosity.

I've got my fingers crossed that he'll drop dead before the lawsuits reach their conclusion.

Things have reached a peak with the ridiculous "fund" for the J-Sixers. I heard Jamie Raskin say tonight that he thinks they can prevent the "fund" from being formed. If that's the case, it will be pivotal to prevent this abhorrent use of our tax dollars to glorify himself.

The Trump administration is using a design report approved by Congress in 1925 as the legal justification to build a 250-foot "United States Triumphal Arch" on Columbia Island without seeking new congressional authorization.Key details of the justification and project include:The 1925 Authorization: The original authorization was part of an Arlington Memorial Bridge Commission report that approved plans for two 166-foot masonry columns near the cemetery. While the bridge was built, the columns were never constructed.The Administration's Argument: The Trump administration argues that building this arch fulfills those century-old plans and that existing Interior Department land permits and contracting vehicles allow them to bypass a new congressional vote.The Controversy: Critics and legal experts point out that the 1925 report was meant for specific columns, not a massive 250-foot arch. Military veterans and historians have filed lawsuits against the administration, arguing that a monument of this size and scale requires explicit, modern-day congressional approval.You can track the ongoing political and legal disputes regarding the monument's authorization through detailed reporting on The Washington Post or view the specific objections on Politi

8. Trump might have the money at time to get it started, but I
