Trump riffed for six minutes about his White House building projects at today’s rally, including the reaction to his helipad.
“They were gonna sue us, because I get sued for everything … I don’t give a shit about it, you know?” says Trump, drawing a standing ovation.

Trump's focus on his construction projects has generally been panned by voters, and some Democrats are invoking his ballroom in their closing campaign messages.

View of East Potomac from my flight today — spotted work crews, debris and many fewer trees than before.
Breaking: Trump says he'll close East Potomac golf course Nov 15 and begin his overhaul
"The current Course is old, broken, dilapidated, and of no further use or effect," Trump wrote.
Officials didn't immediately respond to Qs about cost

SCOOP: Julio Herrera Velutini, a Venezuelan billionaire, really wanted a pardon. He got it not long after his daughter hired Alina Habba, a lawyer close to Trump, in a deal worth more than $50 million. Habba was also working at DOJ at the time.

Alas. Ann was incisive and just a wonderful colleague at Baltimore Sun.
Sad news: the great @AnnHornaday has passed away. One of America's best movie critics, a longtime Washington Post writer and a voice very familiar to the DC/Maryland area, especially.

Trump says that New Mexico should "immediately" change its name to "New America."
State leaders have panned Trump's weeks-long focus on the name change.
A GOP candidate in a close race for Congress is trying to distance himself from Trump's idea, too.

New: Judge Ana Reyes, who's overseeing the East Potomac case, *denies* the Trump administration's request to remove her.
Reyes says she was indeed "furious" after the government cut down trees. But she says her conduct is OK + the Trump admin has created its own problems.

Here's her order in the case.
REYES: "A reasonable person would understand that the Court’s skepticism about whether Government counsel can act in good faith going forward is legitimate and not the product of bias."
