🚨HUMILIATING: Trump slapped his name on the Kennedy Arts Center for an ego boost.
Now it’s curtains — shut down for 2 years for “renovations.”
But here’s why the timing is… embarrassing. Share this widely so the truth can’t be demolished. 👇

Bad Bunny is an American citizen.
Corey Lewandowski: "I was really gonna go to the Super Bowl, but then Bad Bunny showed up. Listen -- anybody who is an American has nothing to worry about. It's the rapists and the murderers and the sex traffickers and child pedophiles who are in this country who need to be worried."

It has never been more clear that unaccountable systems of wealth are the PRIMARY destructive element of our politics, economy, and society as a whole. Unchecked abuse of all kinds. The current US admin is just the latest, purest personification of this trend.

If you campaigned for the presidency on a promise to destroy these assholes, you would win a landslide the size of FDR in 1936, when he campaigned on a promise to destroy these assholes.

Trump borrows from the language of Hitler for anti-immigration speech in New Hampshire: “They’re poisoning the blood of our country,” he told his supporters, referring to immigrants. Hitler used similar language about Jews “poison[ing] the blood of others,” in “Mein Kampf,” his 1925 manifesto.

Putting aside the rant, I can't get over Bongino's lack of shame. After washing out as deputy FBI director because he couldn't handle real work, he just hops back in the podcast chair and does his same conspiracy-fueling nonsense. Just a pathetic dude who should never be taken seriously.
Trump: "These people were brought to our country to vote, & they vote illegally. The Republicans should say, we should take over the voting in at least 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting. We have states that I won that show I didn't win. You're gonna see something in Georgia"

CNN is reporting the real reason Trump is closing the Kennedy Centre for two years is not for renovation: “the Kennedy Center does not have a 2026/2027 season. There would not have been any programming to announce."

This is sad, but good: Artists are refusing to normalize this idiocy, and instead of just commanding performances - which they can't do - the Trump people are closing it down and slinking away.

Good to see that many Dem elected officials now want to be seen getting involved in the cases of immigrants who have been wrongly detained by ICE.
Let's spare a word for @vanhollen.senate.gov, who did this for Kilmar Abrego Garcia back when wise pundits said this was politically dangerous.
