Historic preservationists sued to stop it. A federal judge ordered a halt to it. But the White House appealed. And as the legal battle drags on, the first parts of Trump’s planned ballroom are now beginning to poke above-ground. With @jonathanreports.bsky.social

A federal judge halted Trump’s ballroom construction until he gets congressional authorization. But Trump isn’t inclined to seek Congress’s OK — and they don’t appear inclined to give it. with @jonathanreports.bsky.social @theodoricmeyer.bsky.social @mariannasotomayor.bsky.social

The White House says its ballroom construction must continue for national security reasons. (They won’t specify why, but a presidential emergency bunker has long been below the former East Wing.) Argument comes ahead of a showdown in court this afternoon. With @jonathanreports.bsky.social.
