"Renderings posted on social media “aren’t a plan,” he said. “When the President previewed his vision for a ballroom, he assured the public that the East Wing would remain untouched. Instead, it was completely demolished.” www.washingtonpost.com/style/2026/0...

Trump shared renderings of the new Kennedy Center. It looks like the old one.
The arts institution is expected to close in July for two years of renovations, but major changes are hard to detect in the images shared by the president.

Law enforcement officers should never cover their faces when making arrests or conceal their identities (unless they are working undercover). They work for us. We have a right to know who they are. These face coverings are frightening & unAmerican, as though they're ashamed of what they're doing.
