What's the point in doing that?

It seems worth mentioning that, while many are just coming around to acknowledging that the regime is fascist it has gone from being authoritarian to being totalitarian

Its not a decision for the board. The John F Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts is a national memorial by statute. He can paste his name on whatever he wants. Calling an apple a banana doesn't make it so.

Its a national memorial, not a "facility." What's next? The Trump-Lincoln Memorial? He's once again breaking the law. By statute it is The John F Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and cannot be changed by the board.

The board of directors cannot rename it. Its a national memorial: The John F Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. By law. He's just throwing around shit to get people outraged about something in advance of the Epstein Files release deadline (which I'm sure they'll ignore)

Just to be clear. It’s the John F Kennedy center legally. Just like it’s still the department of defense

They should just start having him occasionally die at the end of random films. That would be an interesting narrative twist because you could never assume he will will survive any of the jams he finds himself in. Sometimes Bond Dies

But they have no problem with the fact that he has gotten a little older and a little younger but never really aged in 60 years. Yet they dont feel compelled to explain that as he's actually a vampire or a cyborg.

House Republicans abandoned their responsibilities and left DC. Dems need to get off their asses & take control. Call the House into session. Elect a new Speaker. Make the GOP reconvene to try gaining control. Just do it. Let them go to court. The old rules dont apply. We need radical action NOW

I think - given what's happening in Chicago, Portland, LA (and coming soon to a city near you) - that we need to start acknowledging that the administration has started a hot civil war. And they are escalating.

Before the end of the day you're going to run a report about conveniently left behind unfired bullets with some stupid marking on the casings intended to incriminate the "radical left." And no one in the press is going to show any skepticism

Observations: 1. Watch the crowd & public safety staff to see how people act during a real assassination. Look again at the Butler PA incident 2. When DJT disappeared there was a spike in the Pentagon Pizza Index. We all thought it was bcs he was dead 3. No one is talking about Epstein Files now

If a bill is so bad that you have to exempt entire states from its consequences to win the votes you need—just don't pass the bill! Why do people in Washington state deserve Medicaid & SNAP cuts, but others don't? This is plain wrong, and it's just no way to legislate.

Pete Hegseth installed a make-up station at the Pentagon. JD Vance loves a smoky dark eyeliner. Trump cakes on orange base till he resembles an Oompa Loompa. And these guys say LGBTQs are threatening gender norms?

I fear, given the state of the world and the response within large segments of the Catholic church to Francis, whoever the new Pope is they will be an ultra-conservative reactionary.

I now believe that the man the government admits was rendered to the El Salvador gulag by mistake is dead, which is why they: 1. Won't tell the court anything about his current status, and 2. Why they say they can't bring him back

No, Corey Booker didn't technically filibuster anything. BUT what he did was an historic & powerful act of PROTEST. Taking over the floor of the Senate for a 24+ hrs act of protest of the actions of the sitting POTUS was no less legitimate or more performative than taking to the streets.

So, he's acknowledging how super easy it is for an uninvited actor to infiltrate a Signal group text chain, thereby affirming why it is illegal to conduct confidential, classified government business on a fucking commercial messaging app. They all need to be fired and arrested

there are like three overlapping scandals with signalgate — illegal distribution of sensitive government materials by top members of the administration, illegal attempt to circumvent records laws and possible unlawful use of military force — and democrats should be screaming about them all

Also let’s be clear about why they’re talking over Signal — they are attempting to skirt their obligations under the federal record preservation laws and ensure no records exists for public review. It’s incredibly illegal, but what do they do that isn’t?
