It’s impossible to overstate what a big deal this is for this legendary Kentucky brand. The last time Jim Beam closed down like this was during Prohibition. Trump’s tariffs & fight with Canada are surely to blame.

At least 104 people have now been killed in similar US strikes, and Thursday’s attack marks the third this week. https://cnn.it/48X0HCI

Rep. Beatty posted here too—
The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.
