Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez criticized President Donald Trump's planned $400 million White House ballroom project as "insulting" following the Supreme Court's decision to allow construction to proceed. Ocasio-Cortez argued that everyday Americans, particularly those struggling with high tariffs and lost health care subsidies, are not receiving a refund for the tariffs they were illegally charged.
Instead, the funds earmarked for the ballroom project are being used, which the congresswoman deemed insensitive and insulting to working people. The Supreme Court's 5-4 ruling allowed the construction to continue, with Chief Justice John Roberts joining four other justices in dissent, stating that Congress had not authorized the project.
Despite the legal victory, Trump celebrated the decision on social media, calling the project a "Greatest" ever constructed in Washington, D.C.
