Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton recently made it known she is no fan of President Donald Trump's project to construct a ballroom at the White House in an appeal to voters, telling them that 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. is their "house." "It’s not his house," Clinton wrote on X Tuesday morning. "It’s your house. And he’s destroying it." The social media post included a screenshot of The Washington Post's report, "White House begins demolishing East Wing Facade to build Trump's ballroom," accompanied by a photo of a demolition crew.

The White House said on Tuesday it will submit plans for President Donald Trump's $250 million White House ballroom project to a body that oversees federal building construction, even though demolition work began earlier this week. Trump reveled on Tuesday in the demolition sounds by construction workers for the ballroom addition to the White House, the first major change to the historic property in decades.

A demolition job that began Monday with the disappearance of the White House’s eastern entrance advanced Tuesday with the destruction of much of the East Wing, according to a photograph obtained by The Washington Post and two people who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe the scene. Photos of construction teams knocking down parts of the East Wing, first revealed by The Washington Post on Monday, shocked preservationists, raised questions about White House overreach and lack of transparency, and sparked complaints from Democrats that President Donald Trump was damaging “the People’s House” to pursue a personal priority.

New York City’s likely next mayor would raise property taxes based on skin color. Front-runner and democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani said he would implement that proposal if, as polls project, he wins the Nov. 4 election. Mr. Mamdani, whose agenda calls for free day care, free bus rides, government-run grocery stores and raising taxes on millionaires to pay for it all, said the city’s residential property taxes are inequitable. Homeowners living in neighborhoods populated by minorities pay too much in property taxes, and those living in wealthier, Whiter neighborhoods don’t pay enough, he said.

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. further added to the Trump administration’s problematic claims about Tylenol and autism on Oct. 9, alleging during a Cabinet meeting that circumcision-related studies provide evidence that the drug causes the condition when given to children. The studies, however, do no such thing. Weeks earlier, as part of a promised announcement on the causes of autism on Sept. 22, President Donald Trump had repeatedly admonished pregnant women not to take Tylenol, also known as acetaminophen. He also recommended that children avoid the medicine, saying, “Don’t give Tylenol to the baby after the baby’s born.”

John Bolton is in good — or at least prominent — company. In facing an investigation and, now, prosecution for allegedly mishandling classified information, Bolton joins a long list of high-ranking officials who have confronted allegations they were cavalier, or worse, with secrets entrusted to them as they oversaw some of the U.S. government’s most sensitive military, intelligence and diplomatic endeavors.
