The Kennedy Center has dropped the family who made the Honors medallions for 47 years and who were the definition of a family business. @janaykingsberry.bsky.social spoke to them (and I offered some meager assistance). Take a look:

Oh, the irony.
The Trump admin is dismantling Freedom of Information Act offices. Then the offices send out emails like, “Hello, the FOIA office has been placed on admin leave and is unable to respond to any emails.” The lengths this admin will go to ensure zero transparency with the American people is astounding.

Good day to remember that a US President has no inherent power over tariffs whatsoever. It’s not like war powers or pardons. It’s entirely delegated by Congress to deal with emergencies. GOP Congress cld modify that law tonight and bring this to a screeching halt.

This is a sad day for TVA. Hyper partisan micromanagement will lead to high bills and less reliable power. 💡🔌

A Tea Party protest sign from 2011. The Tea Partiers believed that a man they thought was born in Africa was going to steal their Medicare. Now a man who was definitely born in Africa is definitely stealing their Medicare, and yet they’re strangely silent. Come on, Tea Party, dust off those signs!

I joined Ali Velshi last night on MSNBC’s The Eleventh Hour to discuss the Chief Justice’s rebuke of the President. I explained that America is in a constitutional crisis when, rather than faithfully executing the laws, the President of the United States is defying the laws.

My mom was the office manager for an internationally renowned diabetes research lab at the VA Hospital in DC in the 60s. Doctors came from around the world to work there. Their research helped millions. It is heartbreaking to see these cuts at the VA today and think about its impact on healthcare.
Clinical trials have been delayed, contracts canceled and support staff fired as Elon Musk’s government-cutting project targets the Veterans Affairs Department. “Lots of people don’t understand how important these roles are,” a hospital administrator said.

The students are literally legal, y’all. We have a constitution. They’re trying to change it, but they haven’t yet. You don’t need to do it for them.

Jack Daniel's maker Brown Forman's CEO Lawson Whiting said on Wednesday Canadian provinces taking American liquor off store shelves was "worse than a tariff" and a "disproportionate response" to levies imposed by the Trump administration.
