Got to experience a spectacular concert from Ok Go tonight. Their opener was the L.A. Exes and they kicked so much ass. You should definitely seek them out.

Remember how Trump spent years fighting tooth and nail to prevent Congress from getting access to his tax info?

Now the unelected and unaccountable DOGE Bros are close to having access to everyone's tax forms.

"[We must] get back to the notion of people in the decision-making positions putting on shows they like because they like them, as opposed to because they can sell an IP. Television has to go back to remembering it’s a commercial art form — but it’s an art form.”

So it's official. Trump has taken over the Kennedy Center, installed his sycophants as board members, and had himself elected chairman. The hostile takeover of the arts to use as a propaganda wing has begun. It's a dark time to be a theatre artist right now.
