From trashing murdered director Rob Reiner to renaming the Kennedy Center for himself, an uninhibited Donald Trump has impacted the arts in notable, yet unorthodox ways.

Donald Trump has destroyed the economy and set American science back 15 years. But I heard my liberal neighbor said "Latinx" yesterday. I have never felt more politically homeless.

One of the biggest mistakes Dems made in transition is in not having Jack Smith testify openly about Jan6 before Durbin lost his gavel.

Per @garretthaake.bsky.social, the extremely tacky "presidential wall of fame" that lines the colonnade to the West Wing now has obviously-Trump-penned plaques insulting or praising the presidents.

I cannot comment on Trump’s Rob Reiner post because I didn’t read it. And when reporters read it aloud to me, I couldn’t hear it because I was plugging my ears.

I'm not even going to repost a screengrab of his post about Rob Reiner but man it really needs to be said every single day: Trump truly is the biggest piece of shit in the world, a man of absolutely no good qualities and seemingly limitless bad ones. Support for him is just so damning.

love to get lectured on the virtues of spartanism from the guy with the gold toilets
Trump: "You can give up certain products. You could give up pencils. Because under the China policy, every child can get 37 pencils. They only need 1 or 2. They don't need that many. You always need steel. You don't need 37 dolls for your daughter. 2 or 3 is nice. So we're doing things right."

Ending DEI practices in college admissions will expose an uncomfortable truth. Women now outperform men academically.
If universities stop trying to gender balance incoming classes but instead admit based on merit, they’ll reject men at higher rates than they do today.

Trump’s attack on DEI may hurt college men, particularly White men
The Trump administration’s ban on diversity, equity and inclusion also targets gender. The ban may impact gender balancing practices that often benefit college men.

1. Jared Kushner's trip to Moscow yesterday was not just unethical; it was illegal.
You cannot accept tens of millions of dollars from foreign governments and simultaneously conduct high-level diplomacy for the federal government.
It says it right in the Constitution.

Kushner’s Moscow mission wasn’t just corrupt. It was unconstitutional.
Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law, has been traveling the world to participate in high-stakes foreign policy negotiations on behalf of the president.

This administration is filled with the absolute dumbest, meanest, cruelest pieces of shit.
And they're so *proud* to be dumb, mean, cruel pieces of shit too. They delight in it. They brag about it.
It's vice signaling as a way of life.
