477<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So said President Trump to the first architect working on the new White House ballroom being built on the ruins of the building&#8217;s East Wing, scoffing at his concerns over possible fire, health<strong>,</strong> and safety violations. The architect, James McCrery II, left the construction project last October after Trump repeatedly ignored his warnings in favor of a preliminary design the president preferred, according to <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/2026/09/23/i-am-code-trump-clashed-with-ballroom-architect-over-safety-issues/">a <em>Washington Post</em></a> investigation released Wednesday.&nbsp;</p>
478

480
481<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Building codes, the president claimed, don’t apply to the White House. That&#8217;s wrong. Federal agencies <a href="https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?edition=prelim&amp;num=0&amp;req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title40-section3312&amp;utm">are required to</a> follow federal standards unless it would “<a href="https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2026/09/national-security-9-11-trump/">adversely affect national security</a>,” as the<strong> <em>Post</em> </strong>reports and as multiple items of congressional legislation <a href="https://www.access-board.gov/buildings.html">establish</a>. The president&#8217;s argument: The Executive Residence, the president&#8217;s home and workplace in the White House, is not bound by the same rules as the rest of the White House.</p>

550
551<p><strong>But not here</strong>.</p>
552
553<p>When <em>Mother Jones</em> started publishing 50 years ago, our founders made a critical decision: to be a reader-supported nonprofit. They knew that no corporate owner would be interested in a muckraking newsroom; they also knew that no muckraking newsroom would be interested in following the agenda of a corporate owner.</p>
554
555<p>And so, we’ve been reader-funded for half a century. We rely on contributions from our readers&#8212;<strong>readers like you</strong>&#8212;whether it’s $50, or $15 a month, or whatever fits your budget. People give what they can, and every donation makes a difference for our newsroom, which has grown tremendously—in size and reach and renown—since its inception in 1976.</p>
556
557<p>You may be wondering: <strong>What does it take to publish an investigation</strong>? <strong>And what does my donation actually fund</strong>? The answers are one and the same: It takes people, resources, and time. And that’s what your donation funds directly.</p>
558
559<p><strong>Every donation <em>Mother Jones</em> receives from readers fortifies our newsroom</strong>, whether we’re covering underreported scandals out of Washington, DC, or the most important news of the day. <span class="highlight">And right now, <strong>each donation will be doubled thanks to a $50,000 match</strong>. So when you make a donation, it’ll go twice as far</span>.</p>
560
561<p>Your support keeps us going. If you’re able, donate today.</p>

563<p>Thanks for reading.</p>
