The president decided to demolish the East Wing of the White House this week without warning or approval to make way for his new ballroom. The images of heavy machinery tearing into the First Lady's office have sent shockwaves through our collective ideas of American imagery.
Grant talks about how Trump went back on his word about not touching the White House, what we're losing by losing the East Wing, how this is unlike anything presidents have done in modern US history, and what it means to have this looming ballroom funded by donors and not the people.
Plus, an update on the government shutdown that's now the second longest in US history, as tens of millions of people are at risk of losing life-saving benefits.
