The Kennedy Center was established and named by an act of Congress. No media outlet should call it anything different until Congress amends or repeals that Act. Trump is not a king.

Muting a Black woman to claim the vote was unanimous is so incredibly on the nose
The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

First it was "we have to blow up dozens of people on boats because of fetnanyl." But obviously it wasn't fentanyl being trafficked so then: narco terrorists are shipping cocaine! But then Wiles tells a reporter it's all about regime change and today it's bc US oil companies got kicked out in 2007?

The blockade of Venezuela is an echo of past U.S. imperialism in Latin America, all with disastrous results. We were lied to about Iraq and WMDs, and an entire generation paid the price. Our 1950s intervention in Iran has been a disaster spanning decades.

The Dem position on the ACA tax credits is a classic "very popular, not very sexy" issue.
The shutdown worked well because it raised its salience, and it's important to always be thinking about how to drive attention to good issues like this.

Indiana’s Senate has voted AGAINST the GOP gerrymander that’d have locked in a 9-0 map.
This keeps the 7-2 map in place, saving two Democratic seats heading into 2026.
The vote failed big, 19/31.
The MAJORITY of the GOP senators opposed it!

Tariffs are like throwing rocks in the economic engine, then asking the Fed to fix the noise by adjusting the radio volume. Interest rates can tune demand, but they can’t magically make a trade war painless.
