The Kennedy Center was solvent when Trump took over. Then its finances collapsed.
The Post examined 15 years of the institution’s financial records to see why it went south after the president took over.

Back to smith hearing, the Rs are assessed with smith having subpoenaed their toll records (i.e. records of numbers dial not conversation). But that move was completely orthodox. If not mandatory to learn what Trump and meadows were up to that day. And the idea that it’s speech or debate is risible.

Abdelaziz was an FBI informant until the Bureau dropped him because they suspected he was a double agent. Looks like Ka$h (far right) has forgiven and forgotten.
