Your suspicion was right.
Trump shut down the Kennedy Center out of pure embarrassment after the cancellations.
He’s betting we forget in two years.
In 2023 the Kennedy Center was in the black, pulling in $286M in revenue. And it reopened from a $250M renovation in 2019.

I think it should probably be a bigger story that the president of the United States is a raving lunatic
Trump at the National Prayer Breakfast: "We hit 'em. And we want to hit 'em right, sir, and we want to hit them from the top! East, west, north, south. Sir, they won't know what the hell! And we'll knock them out. We did it politically correct. Five years."

Can we talk about how insane it is that Trump’s pick to “fight corruption” in Minnesota is a guy who took a $50,000 bribe in a Cava bag — and still won’t say whether he’s even returned it?

U.S. citizen Matthew Allen brutally arrested in Minneapolis as his wife Sarah Allen watches in horror. She explains to a clergy member comforting her, they were both running away from the tear gas & he was arrested. Heartbreaking to hear & watch. This happened within hours of the killing of a man.💔

Anne Frank wrote these words in 1943 while hiding, while families were being pulled apart. She wasn’t describing chaos. She was describing process. Normalized cruelty. Systems doing what systems do when nobody stops them.

If leading Democrats came out in support of Abolish Ice / Fund Healthcare, it would easily get 65+% support (extrapolating from current polling) AND it is the right thing to do AND it would show that Democrats are standing with their people. Classic Win-Win-Win.
