Statement on Kennedy Center Board Action: In 1964, Congress established the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts as a living memorial to President Kennedy. Only Congress can change its name.

My mother has been gone 39 years on the 27th of this month, but I’m just now discovering that she lied to me for the 23 years she was in my life. She always told me she almost dropped 2 1/2 month old me when she heard about the assassination of President Kennedy. Now I find out he’s still alive?👇 😮

If I was the Kennedy family I'd say "You know what, rather than have them mentioned in the same breath, just call it the Trump Center, we'll send someone by to pick up our giant head."

The Kennedy Center is a living memorial to a fallen president and named for President Kennedy by federal law. It can no sooner be renamed than can someone rename the Lincoln Memorial, no matter what anyone says.

In the wealthiest nation in the world, no one should go without healthcare.
We have bipartisan support to extend the ACA subsidies––now it's on Speaker Johnson to bring it to a vote immediately.

We have 218 signatures on the discharge petition to extend the ACA premium tax credits.
But Speaker Johnson is refusing to bring the bill to the floor. Premiums are set to skyrocket on Jan. 1.
The time to act is now.

Hose Dem leadership will hold a press event on Capitol steps tomorrow morning, 10am ET. I don’t know the topic, but if I had to guess I’d say calling on Johnson to put the ACA subsidy extension to a floor vote before subsidies expire.

It’s simply not possible to overstate how important NCAR is to US and world science. We need to fight this with everything we’ve got.
Exclusive: The Trump administration is moving to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, according to a senior White House official, taking aim at one of the world's leading climate research labs.

The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

It’s sad how many lifelong friendships & family relationships have been fractured by someone like Trump
He is & always has been a racist misogynist, a con & a known sexual assaulter w/the intelligence of boiled cabbage
Some revealed to me who they really are and I will not and cannot forgive them.

I know there is a lot going on right now but Trump continues to light all the levers of American global power on fire and hand huge wins to Russia and China. It is a form of national surrender, of unprecedented sabotage, that will leave this nation less prosperous, less safe, and far less free.
The headline, the main takeaway from a European viewpoint is this:
The transatlantic relationship as we know it is over. Yes, we kinda knew this. But this is now official US White House policy. Not a sppech, not a statement. The West as it used to be no longer exists.
