The Kennedy Center was named that in 1964 when JFK was no longer alive. Trump’s sycophants know that, yes?
Trump on getting his name added to the Kennedy Center: "Well, I was honored by this. The board is a very distinguished board, most distinguished people in the country. And I was surprised by it. I was honored by it."
That board includes Laura Ingraham and Maria Bartiromo.

No. It’s a great time to be a violent criminal in America. Our most sophisticated law enforcement agencies are busy hunting landscapers & housekeepers.
Is there any precedent in modern history for a mass shooting occurring in a public setting with 10+ casualties and the perpetrator not being apprehended? It's really hard to fathom.

all the articles you read about this will say it "would charge doctors" but there is nothing in the bill limiting the felony crime to medical providers. you could write "would charge parents" and be just as correct. news outlets downplay it because news outlets are transphobic.

Some good news: Yuma Sheriff says nine original fires are down to just one that’s still out of control. That fire is south of Eckley from CR 32 & N to CR 27 & W. Two others are being mopped up.
UPDATE: This is the view from Yuma, CO about 25 miles west of Wray. You can see the glow from nearby fires and the wind rocking the camera.

Wait. We're going to start a war with Venezuela because they are sending Don Jr's cocaine to Europe?? Can't he just go buy it there??
Sen. Chris Murphy said Hegseth + Rubio admitted to senators yesterday that no fentanyl is coming out of Venezuela -- despite Trump’s misleading efforts to tie the country to the deadly drug so he can justify bombing boats.

The Bundy occupation at Malheur in early 2016 (and the lack of consequences they faced for it) was a sign of what was to come. Right wing white anti-government vigilantes cast as “patriots.”
NEW: Tina Peters is rejecting a J6er's call to storm a Colorado prison and free her.
Peters is distancing herself from the jailbreak scheme and violent actions after allies and her attorney talked about using force or violence to free her and punish those keeping her in prison.

The inability for so many folks to understand power dynamics really is infuriating. You’re allowed to talk shit about the president as much as you want because you do not have the same power as him. He isn’t allowed to talk shit about you because he’s the fucking president for fucks sake.

White men—30% of US population!!—are CEOs at 72% of Fortune 500 companies, direct 83% of the movies made in the US, serve as 70% of US Senators, & on & on.
Their representation in key industries is at least double what their share of the pop predicts but it’s still not enough for them!
