Kind of telling that ABC News/Disney is using the "Trump-Kennedy Center" language to refer to the Kennedy Center despite the fact that it is legally still the Kennedy Center.

Contrast this with how this same administration has revoked visas for researchers studying how information ecosystems are manipulated (including by foreign actors like Russia). Seems strange that they welcome back the manipulators and attack those working to identify and call them out.
Exclusive: A year after Tenet Media was busted for funneling Russian money to MAGA pundits like Benny Johnson and Tim Pool, a Trump administration effort involving State and the FBI has welcomed Tenet's founders back into the US. @thebulwark.com: www.thebulwark.com/p/lauren-che...
Trump Admin Scores Visa for Founder of Russian Propaganda Outlet
Tenet Media’s Lauren Chen is back—even though the illegal-influence and money-laundering investigation remains open.

Several of the rules and norms that helped make the American military the best in the world have been weakened, ignored, or broken. And that is not the full extent of the damage.

In this clip from a right wing radio show on Friday, Trump claims that on Christmas Eve the US “knocked out” a facility in Venezuela from which the supposed drug boats launch. Has this been reported anywhere else?

Stephen Friend was fired from the FBI a couple of years ago for siding with the Jan 6 rioters. Kash hired him back. Now Kash has fired him again for claiming that the FBI is lying about the identity of the Jan 6 bomber, and for ranting about Kash on a podcast.

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful.
They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone.
Don't fall for it.

The biggest divide in America today is not between “right” and “left,” or between Republicans and Democrats.
It’s between democracy and oligarchy.
The old labels — “right” and “left” — prevent most people from noticing they’re getting the shaft.

The only way Russia can win in Ukraine is if they destroy the will of the population to live or defend. This is why it deploys millions of bots and thousands of propagandists across every nation and language. They lie to create despair, disillusionment, and turn populations against Ukraine.

1962: JFK warns against lawless defiance. "If this country should ever reach the point where any man or group of men... can defy the commands of our court... then indeed the American experiment has failed."
2025: 63 years later, Trump is the embodiment of that warning.

Dozens of energy projects cancelled in California.
Now five more on the East Coast.
All because Donald Trump wants to kill cheap, renewable energy.
Want to know who will pay the price for Trump's job killing cancellations?
Check your utility bill next year and you will see.
