NEGUSE: AG Bondi, that man works for you now, right? The man in that video from J6 yelling 'kill them!' at cops. His name is Jared Wise. BONDI: He does work for us, yes. I believe he was pardoned NEGUSE: And you expect hard-working police officers to believe you take law enforcement seriously?

After numerous artists said they would no longer perform there and ticket sales plummeted, Trump says he is closing the Kennedy Center for at least two years.

Trump post: After a one year review of The Trump Kennedy Center, that has taken place with Contractors, Musical Experts, Art Institutions, and other Advisors and Consultants, deciding between either Construction with Closure and ReOpening or, Partial Construction while continuing Entertainment Operations through a much longer period of time, working in and around the Performances, I have determined that The Trump Kennedy Center, if temporarily closed for Construction, Revitalization, and Complete Rebuilding, can be, without question, the finest Performing Arts Facility of its kind, anywhere in the World. In other words, if we don't close, the quality of Construction will not be nearly as good, and the time to completion, because of interruptions with Audiences from the many Events using the Facility, will be much longer. The temporary closure will produce a much faster and higher quality result!
Based on these findings, and totally subject to Board approval, I have determined that the fastest way to bring The Trump Kennedy Center to the highest level of Success, Beauty, and Grandeur, is to cease Entertainment Operations for an approximately two year period of time, with a scheduled Grand Reopening that will rival and surpass anything that has taken place with respect to such a Facility before.
Therefore, The Trump Kennedy Center will close on July 4th, 2026, in honor of the 250th Anniversary of our Country, whereupon we will simultaneously begin Construction of the new and spectacular Entertainment Complex. Financing is completed, and fully in place! This important decision, based on input from many Highly Respected Experts, will take a tired, broken, and dilapidated Center, one that has been in bad condition, both financially and structurally for many years, and turn it into a World Class Bastion of Arts, Music, and Entertainment, far better than it has ever been before. America will be very proud of its new and beautiful Landmark for many generations to come. Than…

Witnessing what’s happening in the U.S. is deeply disturbing. This escalation doesn’t restore order, it accelerates collapse, creating fractures everywhere. History shows when power goes unchecked, the consequences are hard to contain. What’s being unleashed now will be extremely difficult to undo.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

This isn’t administration it’s obstruction. When lawful oversight is refused and officials are told “we don’t care,” it shows authority placing itself above the law. Transparency is how democracy functions. When it’s blocked, power stops answering to the public.

Helen Ratcliffe @htrsh3.bsky.social · 10/01/2026

When elected officials are denied lawful oversight and told “we don’t care,” that’s not procedure it’s defiance of accountability. Blocking transparency while invoking technicalities signals power insulating itself from scrutiny. Democracies fail when authority answers to no one.

This isn’t protection — it’s power. When force is used against the most vulnerable and called “safety,” the truth is exposed. Real protection shields people from harm. Power harms first, then justifies itself after.

This is intimidation and abuse of authority, the kind of behavior that erodes trust, silences accountability, and drags society backward. Knocking a phone out of someone’s hand isn’t enforcing order. We’ve seen where that road leads before, and it’s not forward.

If the Epstein files have proven anything, it’s that the justice system isn’t broken; it’s working exactly as it was built to do: to shield the rich and powerful from accountability while victims are buried, ignored, or silenced.
