2025 was a year where many of our worst fears came to pass.

We watched a madman get back into the White House, who let billionaires hijack our federal government, slash our benefits to fund their government handouts & tax cuts, while stealing our data to feed their Orwellian surveillance systems

This is not hard. Artists are not responsible for ensuring the Kennedy Center remains relevant and successful. The center’s board is responsible for that, in a fiduciary way. All of this energy being directed at artists should be re-directed at the board.

Don't allow the fact that Trump has pulled Tom Homan from public view to fool you. There is STILL the matter of Homan taking $50k from an undercover FBI agent.
If he lives long enough, he needs to be held accountable. From the looks of him, him probably die from C.V. disease before that happens.

New U.S. Postal Service (USPS) rules:

As of Dec. 24, postmarks don't reflect date you drop off your mail, but instead, date your mail is processed at a regional facility. That could be several days later, potentially affecting #vote by mail, due dates & late fees, tax deductions, court filings, etc

A new USPS postmark rule may cause property tax payments to look late even when people mail them on time. The change can create surprise late fees for anyone who sends their tax bill close to the dead...

I’m extremely concerned by reports the Trump administration destroyed a facility during a covert action in Venezuela.

If this was done without Gang of Eight oversight, it’s a serious violation of federal law and a dangerous escalation that pushes us closer to war: www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...
Trump says the U.S. took out a 'big facility' in Venezuela amid strikes on alleged drug boats
The president did not provide details about the apparent strike, which NBC News has not independently confirmed.

It’s obvious that the Republicans and particularly Mitch McConnell voted to acquit Trump. That was the reality handed to the next administration. The lesson is future Dem leadership needs to take criminal accountability seriously—and not fear blowback.
Joe Biden’s fatal flaw was relying on the reluctant institutionalist Merrick Garland to prosecute the case of insurrectionist Donald J Trump. Had Garland done his job, Trump would have been banned from office and America and the world would not be in this predicament.
