Like a mob “bust-out,” Trump’s cronies have run the Kennedy Center into the ground, with closure for “renovations” covering the disaster.
BREAKING- Emergency court filing is made to stop Trump’s closure and “gutting” of
Kennedy Center
youtube.com/shorts/gkxiq...
The Kennedy Center may never recover if Trump demolishes it
Congress ordered it be a living memorial to a slain president
Trump is defying that order — & it’s blatantly illegal
We’re in court to stop it
My publisher’s note on @contrariannews.org 👇 -TN
For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:
Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down
Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace
Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs
Folks, we’ve seen this all before.
It doesn’t matter whether the rate of global warming is increasing. It’ll never cease to amaze me that people don’t care that it’s happening at all. It should be the most alarming thing ever.
When economists say the president can't really do much to change prices, what they mean is he can't do much to *lower* prices.
Seems troubling.
More troubling would be the idea that the Administration might have bombed Iran without expecting this.
$1.5T defense budget
$170B on ICE & Border Patrol
$100B on tax cuts for the 1%
$20B from Treasury for Argentina
$1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet
$300M on Kristi Noem's jets
$100M+ for Trump to golf
$75k+ for Kash Patel's Olympic trip
And now $50B in emergency funding for war in Iran?
Priorities.
At the behest of Donald Trump. Just the latest reason for why Trump should be removed from office.👇 www.mediaite.com/opinion/doj-...
Again, when it's time to put up or shut up in court, the Trump Admin loses. This is a moment to commend the law firms that refused to appease a bullying president & shame those who capitulated.
History — and hopefully future clients — will remember who stood firm & who folded.
I think there's a lot of truth to this. Americans feel largely invulnerable. Any adversary who could shake this would reap huge disruptive advantages.
"The Peace President."
That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.
Reminder that Congress has the power to stop this.
I have never seen a politician more directly copy this speech in my life
Eight minutes.
That’s the length of President Trump’s video announcing his war with Iran. He didn’t go to Congress. He didn’t obtain a U.N. Security Council resolution. Instead, he did perhaps the most monarchical thing he’s done in a monarchical second term: He simply ordered America into war.
He started a war without getting congressional approval WITH A MAJORITY. Side stepping your own party means there’s no more separation of powers. It’s just all Trump.
Jessica Tillipman, at GW law school, said Anthropic could make a strong argument in court that it had been unfairly targeted. “This is on incredibly shaky ground,” she said of Hegseth’s declaration. “I don’t think you have seen a case for more politicized use.” www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...
The FBI being on high alert for terrorist actions is important right now.
Too bad they fired and gutted their counterterrorism capacity
The richest man owns X.
The second and third richest men control Google.
The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.
And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.
See the problem here?
Larry Ellison is buying CNN. That’s a disaster www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEwy...
"If you compare the United States to every other industrialized country and you rank them from the very best to the very worst, the American stock market comes 21st out of 23."
Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.
Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.
Four giants control 80% of meat processing.
The evidence of corporate consolidation is everywhere.
It means more power for them and less freedom for you.
Corporations and ultra-rich individuals with numerous business interests cannot be trusted to prioritize the public’s right to know over their own bottom lines.
When billionaire conglomerates take control of media, it’s not a win for free speech.
It’s a win for oligarchy.
There is an entire industry devoted to trying to make Trump’s impulses sound like they make strategic sense.
Everything the Ellison family could own if Paramount buys Warner Bros:
Paramount+
CBS
CNN
Showtime
HBO
Warner Bros
TNT
TBS
MTV
DC Studios
Nickelodeon
Comedy Central
Cartoon Network
And more...
This is a rotten deal that the Trump regime has rubber stamped.
State AGs must step in and block it.
Over 300,000 workers went on strike in 2025 — a 13% increase from the previous year.
Why?
Perhaps it's because CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.
Workers have every right to be fed up. Solidarity.
Trump and Republicans are:
-Trying to ram through a bill that would disenfranchise millions of voters
-Considering an EO that would allow Trump to take over elections
-Proposing to station ICE agents at polling places
They’re trying to rig their way to victory. We won’t let them.
Trump's "Golden Age"
There's always a tweet.
