A chart of YouGov polling data with the headline: "A majority of MAGA Republicans approve of adding Trump's name to the Kennedy Center, but most other Americans disapprove."

The chart's sub-headline is: "Do you approve or disapprove of renaming The Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. to the Trump-Kennedy Center? (%)."

The chart has the note: "Note: Identification as a MAGA Republican is based on Republicans' responses to the question, "Are you a MAGA supporter?" Non-MAGA Republicans are Republicans who say "no"; Republicans who say "not sure" are not shown."

At 10:30 ET, join me on Substack Live with @normeisen.bsky.social, one of the lawyers in a case filed to force Trump to take his name off of the Kennedy Center. Get some law & democracy-strikes-back energy before you check out for the holiday. (Prep involves 🍿 => 🐓 so they’ll be quiet while we chat)

Went to a prayer service tonight at St. Mary of the Lake, where they have cardboard cutouts throughout the church representing parishioners afraid to come to Mass because of ICE.

a photograph of the interior of a church. Several people are visible sitting in pews. In the pew immediately in front of the photographer, a black human-sized cardboard cutout in the outline of a woman is visible, as though a shadow is sitting in the pew in front of you.

Big news! Federal judge rules that the regulation the National Endowment for the Arts put in place to comply with the Executive Order prohibiting “promoting gender ideology” violates the First Amendment and the law that created the NEA

Folks Trump has no authority to fire the National Portrait Gallery director and no one need report it as if he does

Donald J. Trump
@realDonald Trump
Upon the request and recommendation of many people, I am herby terminating the employment of Kim Sajet as Director of the National Portrait Gallery. She is a highly partisan person, and a strong supporter of DEl, which is totally inappropriate for her position. Her replacement will be named shortly. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

What exactly does it mean when someone “gets their news from social media”? From media sources sharing their content on social media? From their friends sharing their opinions about current events? Algorithm pushed content? All of the above? They are not all the same.

SUIT UP FOLKS - IT'S GO TIME. President Trump has proposed eliminating the National Endowment for the Arts. He wanted to eliminate the NEA during his first term, too. And he found - like previous Presidents before him - that the NEA is (1 too popular with Congress to eliminate because the funding…

Trump thinks he can dictate what history and culture Americans access by zeroing out funding for arts and humanities and repurposing it for his personal vanity projects—like a bizarre “Garden of Heroes.” We’ll fight this budget—and its assault on culture, history, and speech—every step of the way.

Last week, the President decided to go after the Smithsonian. His goal? To remove “anti-American ideology” from places like the National Museum of African American History. What he’s really trying to do is whitewash our history. This is why we march. This is why we fight. #HandsOff our museums!

Ok I need someone to explain to me a non-lawyer why it is ethical and legal for law firms to commit in advance to donate hundreds of millions of dollars of legal fees to advance the policies of a specific presidential administration before knowing what they’ll be asked to do. TIA

Make no mistake: Hamilton canceling its next Kennedy Center engagement represents a huge blow for trump’s takeover. Hamilton has been one of the center’s biggest earners and an irreplaceable resource for attracting new subscribers.
