The Kennedy Center was given its name by an act of Congress after President John F. Kennedy was assassinated.
Pretty sure its current board, which includes revered fine arts dignitaries like Laura Ingraham, Pamela Jo Bondi, Maria Bartiromo, and Lee Greenwood, can't undo that law.

So an individual from Afghanistan shoots a soldier and it’s an attack on “western civilization” but a white guy from the US kills a bunch of school kids and it’s just another day in America.
I would ask what the fuck is wrong with these people, but I think we already know.

National park to remove photo of enslaved man’s scars
The Trump administration is ordering the removal of information on slavery at multiple national parks in an effort to scrub them of “corrosive ideology.”

Something you will hear from MAGA now:
We must all pray for this troubled individual 🙏
Something you will not hear:
I want to apologize for demonizing my political opponents. There is too much political violence in this country, and it’s all of our responsibility to end it.

Why am I hearing crickets from Democratic members of Congress? We have armed troops occupying YOUR capital. People snatched off the streets. Wake the fuck up!
There is an explosive anger building, but we need leaders. Guess that won’t be you.

Workers are harvesting tomatoes in CAs San Joaquin Valley. If you listen, you can hear the new technology that has a machine scan their badge to keep count the amount of the buckets they pick. Workers average 160 buckets and get paid 86 cents per bucket. #WeFeedYou

I can’t believe we have waited this long for a Democratic politician to say this.
@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "I think he should start with Shreveport, Louisiana, and Speaker Johnson's district that has 6x the per capita murder rate of Nancy Pelosi's San Francisco. What about the carnage, Mr. President, in Shreveport? Why aren't you protecting the folks there? What bullshit."

Happy Independence Day. Because we threw off tyranny once and we will do it again. Our government may be broken but our country is not, because our country is the people and we may be angry and leaderless, but we are NOT BROKEN.

Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance

What a f’kin surprise.
Really important story - army officials asked soldiers to identify themselves if they don't agree with Trump's politics that way he'd get only supportive soldiers in uniform during his political rally on base. Heavier soldiers were also barred from participating.
Bragg Soldiers Who Cheered Trump's Political Attacks While in Uniform Were Checked for Allegiance, Appearance
As Trump viciously attacked his perceived political foes, he whipped up boos from the gathered troops directed at California leaders, including Gov. Gavin Newsom.
