I don't know why journalists cannot do this.
It's just a stay pending appeal, because this isn't actually the appeal, because everything is stupid. It's like how Congress has to do a test vote to see if they have the numbers to vote on whether to end debate on whether to vote to proceed to the vote on a bill.

So I saw some mention that Federal employees were asked not to take photos/document the demolition of the East Wing(for the ballroom stuff). Turns out there's a non-nefarious reason why: The Presidential Emergency Operations Center is under the East Wing.

Just makes it all the worse that this is happening in the first place, doesn't it?
Putting this here because this stunt (shooting over a freeway) was Vance and Hegseth's idea.

It's an old building. Sometimes if you want renovations to be done right, you gotta scrap a whole wing and start over. If anything, I think it's a shame it's usually too expensive to be worth it.
But let's face it, this is Trump we're talking about; there's no way that's what's going on here. My bet is that somebody who knows he's a sucker figured out how to upsell him on a job that's probably still going to be done as cheaply and shoddily as possible and the whole thing's gonna collapse in ten years.
I honestly doubt it'll be finished. Trump isn't exactly known for hiring the finest people, or paying his bills. It would have taken yonks to get done anyway.
He'll leave it as a shoddy, half-complete mess, and then the Republicans will somehow make it the Democrats' fault again.
So what happens if the House Republicans simply decide to never come back? I don't know the logistics of it, but it almost seems like this could be a backdoor way to effectively eliminate the legislative branch of our government.
Why would people motivated entirely by money and power cede the money and power to someone else?
Depends on what kind of deal Stephen Miller has offered them.
It would have to be one where they aren't accountable, but still getting paid. Or better than that even: cause that's what they have right now.
Trump says all Canada trade talks ‘terminated’ over ad criticising tariffs
US president accuses Canada of ‘egregious behaviour’ after release of ad featuring Ronald Reagan criticising tariffs
www.theguardian.com
Doug ford wasted canadian coin on a 75 million dollar ad broadcast in america states and red districts. Specifically an ad calling tariffs a bad idea.
Trump was already looking for an excuse to bail, since he doesn't want to negotiate, he wants to own: and we will never let him. Ford was probably dumb enough that he wasn't aware this was going to trigger trump, so I suspect poilievre told ford to do it so that poilievre had something to drag carney over. Cause I already know the soundbyte from poilievre on the news tonight will be him spouting that carney failed the negotiations.

"How dare you criticize the thing that's explicitly good for me and bad for you!"
