Screenshot of an X post by Brandon M. Scott, Mayor of Baltimore, stating that the city is ending the year with its lowest homicide numbers in decades. The post includes a line graph showing homicide rates per 100,000 residents from the 1970s to the mid-2020s, with a sharp recent decline.

And also why you would not have the children in the large, windowed, playroom. At church, they will care for young children during the main service. You must be a guardian, with an ID tag, to even be allowed in the area. I remember when investigative journalists were not so lazy and stupid.

Trump has NEVER been a "patron of the arts". He is transactional. The center's board does not have the authority to rename the center, Congress does. Why have a board of trustees when Chairman Trump makes all the programming decisions. Trump arbitrarily cancelled existing events and didn't get sued?

Artists are not exempt from requiring a proper contract. All of the artists have contracts with "The Kennedy Center". The venue is now illegally operating as "The Trump Kennedy Center". Trump has a history of stiffing contractors. The venue requires Congress to be legally renamed. No More Kings!!

The artist(s) had a contract with "The Kennedy Center", which was named by an act of Congress. They are not required to perform at the illegally named Trump Kennedy Center. I would argue that the artist(s) should also still be paid.

He's using the CIA as an end-run around Congress. Trump installed Michael Ellis as General Counsel of the CIA back in September and got him to write a memo saying these attacks are legal. Ellis was part of the group that hid the "perfect" phone call with Zelenskyy that led to Trump's 1st impeachment

When Bari Weiss's CBS News is debunking your hateful MAGA BS ...

A recent video by conservative YouTuber Nick Shirley alleged nearly a dozen day care centers in Minnesota that are receiving public funds are not actually providing any service. After the video went viral, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem announced a "massive investigation on childcare and other rampant fraud" in the state.

CBS News conducted its own analysis of nearly a dozen day care centers mentioned by Shirley: all but two have active licenses, according to state records, and all active locations were visited by state regulators within the last six months. CBS News' review also found dozens of citations related to safety, cleanliness, equipment, and staff training, among other violations, but there was no recorded evidence of fraud.
