Trump's pretending his brand is good for the Kennedy Center...Not even close The Center was in "decent financial shape" until he took over. After? donors, audiences & artists fled & his board "borrowed everything its bank would lend" @washingtonpost.com did the math👇 -TN
washingtonpost.com
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.

Trump's Iran War has spiked food prices by raising the cost of fertilizer and fuel. His cuts to FDA and HHS have made foodborne illness outbreaks harder to contain. And his SNAP cuts have made it even harder for millions to feed themselves. He's making America hungry again.

What's fun about this whole contretemps and why it's worth watching again is how smirky Schmitt starts out - this is going to be his big moment – and how honest a puzzled Smith comes off, and how sharp Klobuchar was to quickly figure out the basic mistake. And then how pissy Schmitt gets at her.
