The decision to degrade the national cultural center of the United States by sticking the presidential oaf’s name up there in front of Kennedy’s was unanimous - once dissenters had been silenced.
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.

A 55 yr old US citizen was arrested early Tuesday after confronting ICE officers over the arrests of 3 of her neighbors in Minneapolis.

📌She's the first reported observer arrested by ICE since the agency launched an immigration surge in the Twin Cities last Monday. 1/2

Last month, Denny's was bought out by private equity in a $620 million deal.

Now the company is closing 150 locations.

It's the latest chain to be swallowed by private equity and see numerous workers lose their jobs.

Heartbreaking. The University of Nebraska will terminate its entire Earth science department.

One of the country's most successful and respected geology & climate programs: gone.

When ideologues & politicians are threatened by the very act of studying climate change, I wonder: who of us is next?
It's over.

Despite the fact that the academic council recommended against it, despite the fact that the program brought in more tuition than it cost, and despite the fact that Nebraskans need & deserve this expertise, Earth & Atmospheric Sciences will be cut.

The University of Nebraska-Lincoln eliminates the Earth and atmospheric sciences 8-0, educational administration 7-1, statistics 7-1, textiles, merchandising and fashion design 7-1 programs.

New York lawmakers have proposed requiring retailers to disclose when they use "surveillance pricing" tactics to gouge consumers.

It's a much-needed step towards reining in how companies can weaponize your personal data.

(3,3) My question for everyone who is looking into the National Guard shooting is simple. How did the killer get his guns and what is your plan to stop future killers (American citizens or not) from acquiring weapons in a country that currently makes that easy?

Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders.

What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

As the shadow President of the United States, Stephen Miller, spouts White Nationalist hate speech against immigrants and non-white people via Donald Trump’s social media accounts, it is important to be reminded that immigrants are significantly less likely to commit crime than native-born people.

Also another reminder that <10 people in Washington - all of whom are Republicans & all of whom keep getting total daily free passes from the media about their cowardice - could end most of the madness tomorrow by simply caucusing with the Democrats & giving them control of both the House & Senate.
Suddenly the special election in TN-07 becomes potentially hugely consequential. It shouldn’t be competitive, but if Democrats steal it, when Greene resigns the Republican majority will be down to 218-216 w a sure Dem seat with no special scheduled in Texas.
Just catching up; what’s the significance of Jan 5? Does waiting until then affect when the special will be scheduled?

Dems won Georgia’s Public Service Commission elections by 25-point landslides—their largest for any office since 1998—and improved over 2024 everywhere.

As his time in office steadily decreases, more and more people on the right will start trying to peel away Trump’s power. The vote on the Epstein files will be an accelerant to that process.

If I was running for Congress, I would promise to appropriate money for USAID, b/c as far as I am concerned it remains an agency as no-one repealed the statute that created it in 1998. It blew my mind at the time that we were like, yep, sure, we will just close an agency without authorization.
The elimination of USAID was an unforgivable moral atrocity that should haunt Trump, Elon Musk and Marco Rubio for the rest of their days and beyond
