(👆 that story always reminds me of):
And their judges spoke with one dialect,
but the condemned spoke with many voices.
And the prisons were full of many voices,
but never the dialect of the judges.
And the judges said:
“No-one is above the Law.”

The White House says the Kennedy Center board vote was “unanimous”…
BULLSHIT.
@repbeatty.bsky.social, a Congressional member of the board, was on the call. They muted her and didn't let her voice opposition.
This is beyond absurd, totally illegal, and a disgrace to the memory and legacy of JFK.

Power may be shut off in areas due to high winds. This may include traffic lights. If a traffic signal is DARK or FLASHING RED you must treat the intersection as a 4 way stop. Yield to the car that arrived first. If you arrive at the same time as another vehicle, yield to the driver on your right.

Massive defeat for Mike Johnson. Still has to clear the senate, but this is what Dems wanted all along. Johnson has essentially lost control of the gavel after Epstein and now this. Weakest speaker in history.
