White House Posts Image Of Trump As Famously British 007 Amid James Bond Casting

With the search officially underway for the next James Bond, it appears Donald Trump is trying to dust off what remains of his onscreen career.

Deadline
On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the #WhiteHouse will be adorned by a downright #moron. -- H. L. Mencken #FDJT

I'm reading that the White House construction project includes underground expansion that adds a hospital, among other security-related changes. It seems possible that this was a hidden motivation for the whole project: burrowing under the East Wing might have been uncomfortably slow.

So he's anticipating a siege? I wonder if the threat landscape has actually changed that much, or it's just dictator brain.

Senate rules $1 billion White House ballroom funding cannot be included in spending bill

The Senate parliamentarian has determined that a proposal to allocate $1 billion for White House security, including funding for President Donald Trump’s planned 90,000-square-foot ballroom, cannot be included in the Republican-led spending bill as currently drafted. The funding was part of the Senate Judiciary Committee's proposed immigration enforcement bill, which also covers broader presidential protection efforts under what the administration calls the “East Wing Modernization Project.” The parliamentarian’s decision means that lawmakers will need to revise the proposal if they wish to secure the funding for these measures, as it does not meet the procedural requirements for inclusion in the spending package. The ruling highlights the ongoing tension in Congress over budget allocations for high-profile projects and the limits of legislative maneuvering in sensitive security funding. Lawmakers now face the challenge of determining how to proceed with the administration’s security plans without violating Senate rules, potentially delaying the East Wing modernization initiatives.
