Tell Congress to reject Trump’s White House ballroom!

A federal judge just halted construction of Donald Trump’s proposed White House ballroom — but the fight isn’t over.

According to NPR and Axios, the court ruled the project cannot move forward unless Congress signs off. And while the National Capital Planning Commission approved the design, Politico and Reuters report that lawmakers still have the final say.

That means this decision is now in Congress’s hands — and public pressure can make the difference.

This isn’t just about a building. It’s about whether Congress will allow a costly, unnecessary expansion of the White House that reshapes a historic public space. As the Washington Post and New York Times report, this project has raised serious concerns about precedent, spending priorities, and executive overreach.

And the timeline is urgent. Multiple outlets, including ABC News and the Los Angeles Times, confirm that the judge’s order has paused construction for now — but Congress could act soon to approve it.

We have a narrow window to stop this.

Here’s the reality: members of Congress are highly responsive when they know people are paying attention. High-profile decisions like this — especially those tied to presidential power and public spending — can quickly shift when constituents speak out loudly and clearly.

Add your name to demand Congress reject Trump’s White House ballroom.

This is a critical moment to protect public resources and push back against wasteful, unnecessary projects. Your voice matters right now.

Thanks,
