Trump looked into the camera and said of the ballroom, “This is taxpayer-free. We have no taxpayer putting up 10 cents.”
Three weeks earlier, his own contractor had already put it in writing. The ballroom would cost $600 million, with half of it from you, the taxpayer.
Trump knew. He said it anyway.
This administration has no problem shortchanging Medicaid or food for kids.
But $300 million for a ballroom and a private bunker? Found that money instantly.
I am an appropriator. I see the budget. This was never about what we can afford. It is about who they choose to spend it on.
I will fight this in every hearing, every markup, every vote, until the last dime is accounted for.
Most of my Republican colleagues are silent while the public is robbed in broad daylight.
Where in the hell are they?

Wow.
Iran gets sanctions relief, the release of frozen funds, the ability to export oil, and a $300 billion reconstruction fund.
The U.S. gets a reiteration of the vague promise Iran won’t develop a nuke.
Hard to imagine a more thorough capitulation.
“Michelle Obama is a man” was one of the first conspiracy theories I heard as a teen. It ended up being how I realized that a lot of Republicans were actually REALLY racist.
To everyone who helped bring the Obama Presidential Center to life, thank you. Michelle and I are so grateful for all your dedication and hard work over the years.
I got a little teary-eyed tonight thinking about my mother-in-law, Marian Robinson.
Here’s something for Republicans in Washington to wake up to: In a lengthy post attacking both Democrats and Republicans, Trump says they’re canceling Jay Clayton’s scheduled hearing today and that Bill Pulte will remain acting Director of National Intelligence for now.
CNN montage of Trump bashing the JCPOA and releasing any money to Iran:
I would have never given him back the money. I would have said, the money is off the table. Let's start negotiating. And you know what? I would have won that negotiation
NEW: House Judiciary & Oversight Cmte staff visited Bryan federal prison camp in Texas, where Ghislaine Maxwell is held
Per committee Dem leaders: "Bureau of Prisons leadership repeatedly shut down our lines of questioning or could not provide basic information about our central concerns, including Ms. Maxwell’s extraordinary treatment, allegations of sexual assault at the facility, and retaliation against inmates who tried to blow the whistle"
The Justice Department writes to the D.C. Circuit tonight to say the alleged plot to attack the White House UFC fight is justification for ... the ballroom. https://t.co/khvWVi8Ob8
MacFarlane: The politics of this are just terrible. It's a ballroom. You think of the monopoly man with the top hat and the monocle, or some type of use of taxpayer money that's not wise and judicious when we're all paying $6 for a box of cereal. This is not the time to be spending this type of money on a project that's called a ballroom.
