Federal panel approves Trump's 250-foot memorial arch amid lawsuits
BREAKING: Judge Chutkan has blocked construction of Trump's proposed "triumphal arch" for at least 14 days while litigation against it remains pending. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/28...
Kyle Cheney227NEW: A federal judge has blocked the construction of President Trump's proposed "triumphal arch" — granting a restraining order at the request of D.C. and Arlignton. The arch had been approved by a panel of Trump allies hours earlier. w/ @hroxaner.bsky.social www.politico.com/news/2026/11...
thejeromesix.bsky.social34To all the people asking if he'll comply: he needs the actual builders to be willing to break a court order. That might have happened when he was our ascendant dictator - but he's a lame duck with loser stink all over him now. They're gonna be afraid of consequences, they won't build.
pjconway.bsky.social16Thank God. Now let’s see if she can enforce it.
Antifa Temptress13If he actually builds this monstrosity, Congress will say that the demolition is "just too expensive" We'll crowdfund that shit in less than 24 hours
A Man Has No Name 🇺🇦12What triumph? It’s stolen valor. Triumphal arches were originally dedicated to victorious Roman generals, hailed Imperator by their troops. That draft-dodging coward couldn’t be further from one.
Jadeabliss - 🪷 “No one let go of anyone’s hand.”🪷7Is there any reference to oversight of the area while she has blocked construction? This will be necessary.
Congressman Don Beyer84Good to see Judge Chutkan swiftly bar the Trump Administration from moving forward with its illegal plans to ram this project through.
Schnorkles O'Bork61I kind of legit think we may end up in a full nullification crisis over the arch.
Pam Spaulding27Judge Chutkan "signaled last week that she was skeptical of the admin’s rush to begin construction." She "also emphasized that she did not buy the administration’s last-ditch attempt to cast the arch as a military complex." 🧾 www.politico.com/news/2026/11... ⚖️ s3.documentcloud.org/documents/28...
escapedexplorer.bsky.social11All dooming about "but they'll ignore the judge" can go right to hell, because 1) did you not see how terrified they all are 9f legal jeopardy now and 2) oh he half-built it illegally before it got stopped? Clear reason to tear it down rather than finish it.
Sande9America does NOT want Donald Trump's Hitlerian Arch.
Democracy Dies in Dorkness6NOW comes the crash out
spookygrouchy3I sit corrected Judge did not wait till morning to express her love for this
Karen Dalton Beninato3And your little arch too...
Amorah3Thank you, Judge Chutkan…this abomination cannot be allowed to go forward!
Laura Lee2Good! Also, all of this winning the past 48 hours has been exhausting! 😂
And by “federal panel”, the Washington Post means “Trump’s hand-selected group of shitheads.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Lori Martin46We will tear it down.
IanSeine™️28This is absolutely nuts! This can’t be blocked fast enough. This cannot happen. 🤬
H Mabe23We need a lawsuit to delay
Erick A.19One thing The idiot did for us as a favor. He revealed how easily our government can be turned into a shithole. Learn from this and clean it up so it doesn’t happen again.
The Salon Group NYC16Just to get ahead of things I secured the domain teardownthearch.com Hopefully I won’t need to do anything with it.
Busy15250 feet high 25 friggin stories tall Vulgar. So vulgar.
American Girl in Portugal (Gina Montana) 💛4This is why they lost. People are starving and losing their homes and livelihoods, yet all he can think of is building monuments to himself.
SDDPHOTO3That is disgusting. He needs to stop getting building permits to do any damn thing. He should put his money into replacing the east wing, and that stupid ballroom should be bombed
Loueyville2I am, of course, irate about the East Wing, the Kennedy Center, the Rose Garden, the garish gilding of everything... but this arch shit makes me next-level, full-on Tasmanian Devil-level bananapants lunatic wild-mad.
BREAKING: Judge Chutkan issues a TRO blocking construction of Trump's arch — or construction-related activity — for 14 days. Background: substack.com/@chrisgeidne...
Truth Axe (CJ)12She doesn't play. And if it weren't for that epic POS John Roberts, she'd have ensured the only arch tRump built would've been with cigarettes in a prison cell.
Petmomnw7Two days after losing the mid-terms and facing possible impeachment, not to mention numerous lawsuit and the ultimate release of the Epstein files, and the idiot trump is only thinking about wrecking DC before it’s all over for him. The man is insane.
coalminephoenix.bsky.social4It must be very late there! I actually will sleep better knowing this, but goodnight and be good to yourself and get your sleep in too!
Kylieklogs3Over under on him ignoring that?
dogwood83.bsky.social2Arrest the contractor, the workers and anyone else involved if the order gets violated. Action, action action. Enough of this crap.
Harrison May2Maybe a naive question, but why did Judge Chutkan issue a temporary order instead of a permanent one? Does it have to do with what the plaintiffs requested? Trying to understand the logic of a short term stop…
Chris Geidner158And, we've got a TRO —>
A Triumphal Arch to celebrate Trump's great victories over Iran and in the midterm elections.
MB3Chutkan already blocked it tonight for 14 days. bsky.app/profile/kyle...
Matt Szafranski1It's actually a victory over the plaque in his coronary arteries.
Penguin1We'll just see about that...
Mullins Here1I do believe that if we all write to the administration, especially this committee and Burgum and DJT, thanking them for commemorating the Great Blue Tsunami in this fashion, a lot of legal fees could be saved.
