The Kennedy Center was established to promote US arts. Since crude Trump took over Renée Fleming, one of America's most accomplished sopranos, and Hamilton, one of America's most celebrated musicals, has left. Instead, we get Laura Ingraham, with no connection to the arts, but who flatters Trump.

Donald Trump targeted AP and legacy media did nothing. Donald Trump has now targeted two large law firms and Big Law is silent. You all read Martin Niemöller's poem “First They Came.” So, I ask you -- What are you doing?

The POTUS is aiding and abetting Putin, the war criminal. Every American should be outraged. Russian Strikes on Ukraine Kill at Least 20 as U.S. Cuts Intelligence Sharing With Kyiv.

Power doesn't change a group of people, it reveals them. Republicans have proven that they are willing to violate their oath to The U.S. Constitution for their own selfish desire to cling to power. If they cared about democracy, they wouldn't be participating in it's destruction.

The nature of a cult is that it will turn you against your own family. Your loved ones will cheer as you are led off to the camps because hurting even you is what is necessary to bring on the glorious nation. apnews.com/article/trum...

A suitcase. One suitcase. A solitary suitcase, that is under the weight requirements for a single bag check on a flight. That is how much Fentanyl was seized from Canada last year. So don't tell us that ANY of this is about Fentanyl.

And watch the incompetently engineered, flaming SpaceX rocket debris fill the sky like the most expensive fireworks in history.

As Trump now actively helps Russia kill Ukrainian soldiers and civilians, the silence of Republicans who used to say they were staunch supporters of Ukraine is deafening.

I am not a scientist, nor do I have a science degree, so when I first heard the word transgenic, I looked it up... I thought the folks on the right were really good at doing their “own research.”

Per @juliadavisnews.bsky.social: “Trump’s decision to suspend the flow of military intelligence to Ukraine this week has aided the Russian advance along a critical part of the front. “As a result of this pause, there are hundreds of dead Ukrainians.”

Very heartening to see foreign officials mocking him for being a fucking clown. Feels like the garlic to his vampire

She told you.

Our healthcare system is an extortion racket where thugs hold our lives hostage for profit

😂😅

I'm old enough to remember when unilateral presidential alteration of the terms of student loan programs was considered on the right to be the greatest threat to the constitutional order.

Freeland: You're going to raise the prices on gas. You're going to raise the prices on groceries. You're going to make electricity more expensive. And the end result has been to do something which is really hard to do.. antagonize Canadians.

Today, we honor the bravery and sacrifice of those who, 60 years ago, marched across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama, risking everything for the right to vote and the promise of true freedom. Their courage paved the way, and it’s on us to keep pushing forward.

can confirm. when my mother died a few years ago I asked how to stop her social security checks and was told they’d take care of it. it was almost immediate.

These walk-backs are not happening in blue districts.

Goldman on Musk: "Notable, somehow none of his $13 billion of government contracts he has determined to be waste, fraud, and abuse."

Poor Alexander Armstrong he only has £3.9m and he is 'extremely poor' and unable to pay his kids Private School fees.

What's that banging sound? Ah, it's opportunity. Open the door, Labour! www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

No bone spurs detected.

Two judges have forced the US government to reinstate two senior federal officials fired by President Trump, one saying: "An American President is not a king” 👏 www.newsweek.com/donald-trump...

The thing about the Republicans and the oligarchs…they are willing to play the long game. The abortion wedge issue started in the 70s. They worked for decades to capture SCOTUS. They worked years to get Citizens United across the finish line. Meanwhile, Democrats work in two year cycles.

Elon Musk launched another Spaceship, it blew up again like the last 2, and nearly took out commercial aircraft with its debris, AGAIN. It's really time to stop SpaceX launch exploding crap into civilian airspace, someone is going to get killed.

There were many attempts to distill Project 2025. I read some good online primers about it. But the vast majority of the country just heard the words "Project 2025" and did not attempt to look into what it meant. And I think this is something to sit with for the future. HOW do you get ppl to read?

Trump threatened not to support fellow NATO members if they haven’t "paid" enough, but did not seem to know that the only time the alliance was actually triggered was to help the U.S.

Russia’s ‘3-day war’ is now 3 YEARS old—and they’re getting wrecked. 800,000 casualties, no tanks, no fleet… and now Trump is cutting Ukraine’s aid to throw Putin a lifeline. Sad! Read how Ukraine is WINNING despite the betrayals adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/trumps-lif...

I’ve heard from a solid source that medical supplies from US to frontline medics in Ukraine are being withheld through USAID and military logistics. If true this is absolutely unacceptable.

In an odd way, Trump's appalling treatment of Zelensky in the Oval Office may end up helping him. Donald was always going to sabotage Ukraine to please Putin, but European leaders watching Trump shiv Zelensky on live TV may be what galvanizes them to fill in the gap.

Shocking & shameful from Trump. Is there not a single journalist in the White House with the courage to step up and point out Zelenskyy is the democratically elected leader of a sovereign country who is bravely standing against the illegal invasion of Ukraine by a murderous dictator?

Pete Hegseth has gotten the Pentagon to scrub a photo of a B-29 Superfortress ‘The Enola Gay’ (named for the pilot's mother). It was the plane that dropped a nuclear bomb on Japan, but the pilot's mother's name was "Gay." We are not just a country being run by bigots, we are one run by stupid ones.

🚨 BREAKING: Another one of Elon Musk’s taxpayer-funded Starship rockets just exploded—AGAIN. How many billions are we wasting on this failure factory? Everything Musk touches blows up, catches fire, or crashes—including the Trump Administration.

London

The FAA approved another launch before the last crash investigation was completed — and it ended in another disaster. Why is SpaceX getting a free pass from DOGE cuts? 🤔
