BREAKING: HELL NO! Trump announces that he might leave the hideous UFC fight arena erected on the White House lawn permanently despite widespread outrage.
And it gets even worse...
"Many don't know that in Paris, France, the Eiffel Tower, 1889 it was built. It was supposed to be taken down immediately after the World's Fair and then they said: 'Leave it up a little bit longer' and then they said 'Let's leave it up longer and longer and longer,'" Trump said in a video posted to his TikTok.
The difference, of course, is that the Eiffel Tower is a beautiful architectural marvel. The UFC arena is a rancid eyesore.
"Well, they never took it down and, you know, we're building something in front of the White House that's quite attractive to a lot of people," Trump continued. "It's gonna have the big UFC fight on June 14th and I'm looking at it and maybe we'll never, ever take it down."
There is nothing "attractive" about the tacky metallic scaffolding that Trump and his caveman pal Dana White have thrown up outside of the People's House. It's physically ugly, yes, but it's also spiritually ugly because it represents the total debasement of our democracy.
It's a literal manifestation of the "bread and circuses" trope, the idea that Trump and his oligarch buddies can distract the American people with blood sports so that we don't notice that they're robbing us blind, slaughtering women and children overseas, and sexually abusing children on their private islands.
This stomach-churning suggestion is part of Trump's growing obsession with constructing and renovating structures to make up for his failed policy legacy. From the White House ballroom, to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, to his aborted attempt to rename the Kennedy Center, we see a man desperately scrambling for a legacy. It won't work.
If Trump DOES leave the UFC abomination erected outside the White House, the next Democratic President must demolish it on day one. The same goes for his ballroom and anything else he puts up! We must scour every trace of this man from our nation once he's gone!
Do you support demolishing Trump's vanity projects?
Please ❤️ and share to demand demolition!
Trump is now suggesting January 6 was an inside job, claiming, “The FBI said, ‘Go in, go in!’”
One problem: Trump was the president on January 6, and the FBI director at the time was his own appointee.
Scott Pelley looked his new corporate bosses dead in the eye, accused them of murdering "60 Minutes," and was fired.
Thanks for standing up for what’s right Scott!

Marco Rubio says he's never seen Trump fall asleep at any meeting. Why does Marco feel the need to tell the bald face lie?
It really make me wonder. What does Trump have on these guys? It also makes me wonder, what are these other countries thinking about Trump falling asleep in very important foreign meetings?
All this sleeping from a guy who mocked President Biden as, "Sleepy Joe."
America loves Joe Biden.
Here is a video of @JoeBiden leaving @DrBiden book event in NYC, posted by keri_nyc on IG.
“Joe we love you,” is heard over and over again.
The Trump admin is trying to gain power over a memorial in Philadelphia dedicated to George Washington's slaves.
The admin has already tried to remove the memorial once.
You can't solve problems you refuse to measure.
Yet this month, 900 ocean monitoring instruments are being physically pulled out of the water. A $368 million system. A decade to build. Designed to run 15 more years.
Gone.
This network tracked hurricane intensity, coastal flooding, marine heatwaves, and sea level rise. The data was free, public and used in over 500 scientific publications. Congress tried to stop it... twice. They got overruled anyway.
For a coastal community like FL-13 that just lived through Helene, this isn't abstract. This is the difference between an evacuation order that comes in time and one that doesn't.
Florida deserves a representative who fights for the science that protects us, not one who looks the other way while it gets dismantled.

The SPLC demands a hearing to determine whether a judge should sanction prosecutors for allegedly violating grand jury secrecy by sending a draft of the superseding indictment to the press before it was docketed.

The House just made two HUGE votes today against Trump and for America’s national interest:
- a War Powers resolution to end Trump’s war in Iran
- funding to Ukraine to end Putin’s war

Donald Trump wants to spend millions of taxpayer dollars building a monument to himself at the entrance to Arlington National Cemetery, where generations of America's fallen heroes have been laid to rest.
Today I stood with two veterans whose families are buried at Arlington to say what Republicans on the Appropriations Committee refused to: this is a desecration of our most hallowed ground, and it has to be stopped.
Fired Secretary Noem spent nearly $200 million on top-of-the-line luxury Gulfstream jets.
Secretary Mullin “assessed” those purchases and decided he likes flying in the Gulfstream, despite the fact that much less expensive options exist.
Today, I asked him if he’d commit to selling the luxury jets and using the money to support underpaid Coast Guard personnel. He said no.
🚨WTF! Trump bought $1M of Nvidia stock and then ONE WEEK LATER Trump loosened rules so Nvidia could sell chips to China — which sent the stock through the roof.
Bessent tries to blame Congress!!! Is he stupid or just evil??
If Senate Republicans truly want to stop corruption, then they should join Senate Democrats in supporting legislation to block the blatantly corrupt tax immunity scheme for Trump’s family and permanently ban the $2 billion slush fund.
Sen. @ChrisVanHollen
Netanyahu is the source of the IDF-U.S. military merger. He wants to make our military israeli property. The vote on this NDAA is tomorrow. Section 224 must be scrapped. Those who can should call their senators and demand the NDAA not pass with this provision or our sovereignty is officially gone.
They want to drill the entire
American coastline.
Arctic to Florida.
Florida to California.
All of it.
The administration has proposed
34 offshore oil lease sales covering
1.27 billion acres of American coastal waters — and most people have no idea
where the biggest target is.
It's not California.
It's not Florida.
It's Alaska.
21 of those 34 lease sales are in
Arctic waters off Alaska — starting as early as next year. The remaining 13 are split
between the Gulf of Mexico and the California coast, areas that have been off-limits for decades.
But here's what they're not leading with:
Those same waters are where the
US military trains for Pacific warfare. Military officials say drilling rigs in those zones would directly undermine readiness.
Even Florida's own Republicans
are pushing back — all 30 members
of the
state's congressional delegation sent a letter to the president urging him to keep their coastline off the table.
"Florida's economy, environment and military readiness depend on this commitment."
And off California, the admin
just forced the restart of a pipeline — using a 1950 Korean War emergency law — that burst in ‘15, spilled 100,000 gallons, fouled 150 miles of coastline, and killed 550 seabirds.
Sable Offshore has been fighting to get it running again for over a year. The administration handed them the keys.
At what point should coastal states be able to say no?

BREAKINGNEWS: Donald Trump says he doesn't think Iran has mines in the Strait of Hormuz. Just yesterday Secretary Marco Rubio said there are mines in the Strait of Hormuz. Trump is either a fucking liar or stupid. 🚨
