Iowa Food Banks Brace for Demand Spike Due to SNAP Delay

The $250 million renovation will create a 90,000-square-foot ballroom nearly twice the size of the main White House, with extensive East Wing modernization underway.

  • A White House official said the East Wing is undergoing modernization to support the ballroom project, confirmed during recent reports.
  • President Trump pledged the ballroom project would not interfere with the current building, and the plan calls for a 90,000-square-foot ballroom nearly double the size of the main White House.
  • Rick Wilson, critic and commentator, said the East Wing `became a mood board for grievance` under Melania Trump and called the plan a `vile big-box Barbie Dream House ballroom`, blaming Donald John Trump.
  • Onsite footage reveals heavy machinery tearing into the East Wing's ceilings and walls, with demolition proving more extensive than previously thought.
  • Critics argue the work signals a willingness to `privatize the public sacred` at the People's House, while opponents warn it risks changing its traditional role and appearance.
