NEW: The Kennedy Center is a reminder that we can win, it will be messy, and Trump will be petty. The illegal effort to put Trump's name on the Kennedy Center has always been a metaphor — but, this weekend, it became a story of how we get through this. lawdork.com/p/kennedy-center…

JFK gave best speech of his life, this week 1963, at American University: “If we cannot now end our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity. . . .We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children's future. And we are all mortal."

The White House is officially a billionaire cash grab. The UFC’s “Freedom 250” event is packed with sponsorships, ring-side advertising, and merchandise sales. While Americans are struggling, Trump and his billionaire friends are cashing in. Sponsors like Bud Light, Crypto .com, Polymarket, and Dodge get logo placement. The Trump family gets commemorative coin sales. The People’s House gets turned into a marketing hot spot.

"The baby you aborted could have cured cancer." So could the women you kept in the kitchen, denied their education, bodily autonomy, and basic human rights. But you didn't care about them either.

Teddy Roosevelt dedicated his life to using the power of the federal government to lift up his fellow man. He loved a good scrap — but he would have hated watching billionaires (and one trillionaire) throw a party on the people's lawn.

Somewhere in America, people are choosing between groceries and healthcare. Trump is painting horses gold.

If you take your hummingbird feeder down early in fall because you're afraid you'll keep the birds from migrating, relax. You're not keeping anyone. Hummingbirds don't migrate because food runs out. They migrate because the days get shorter. A change in daylight triggers hormones that tell them it's time to go, and they go, full feeder or empty. You can see it in the timing. Adult males leave weeks before females and young birds, while flowers are still blooming and feeders are still full. Nothing about your feeder can talk them out of it. What your feeder does in fall is the opposite of trapping them. It fuels the late ones: young birds making their first trip south and migrants passing through from farther north. For them, a feeder is a gas station. So leave it up until about two weeks after your last sighting. Keep the nectar fresh and clean, and let it help the latecomers.

A man for the comman man

Just announced: The National convention of Young Democrats of America will take place in Milwaukee.

ICE took a 31 y/o Haitian asylum-seeker into custody, drove her 30 miles away to a Pittsburgh office, put an ankle monitor on her, then sent her out the front door with no way to get anywhere or contact her family. She froze to death at a bus stop. It's now ruled a homicide.

I’m going to spend the remainder of my life burning through their crimes.

If anyone else wrote this, you would either pity or laugh at them. Our disgraceful president doesn’t deserve our pity or our laughter. Just our complete rejection. He’s pathetic. And he’s lying

Trump’s team BS’d a judge last night in asking for time to remove Trump’s name from the Kennedy Center. It was a delay tactic so the scaffolding and tarp could be ready in the wee hours to block the public’s view of the removal. Once the tarp was up the name came down in minutes.

So just to get this straight (or strait) Donald Trump is using an autopen to sign an agreement with Iran?

Among all the European nations that have already joined the European Union or see such a prospect for themselves, Ukraine is the one making the greatest sacrifices for Europe. We are not simply carrying out internal reforms, nor are we simply going through a transformation. We are fighting for our state, for our independence, and for our right to choose our own path and to be Europe. And this right of ours is at the same time the right of every nation in our region. We are fighting for our freedom and theirs, for Europe for ourselves and for them – for the Baltic states and for Poland, for Hungary and Slovakia, for Romania and Moldova, and for the peoples of the Caucasus. That is why the fate of Europe is being decided here – it is being decided in Ukraine, in this war, and in how this war ends – and whether Russia will still have the strength and the desire after this war to threaten the existence of Ukraine and its other neighbors, and the entirety of Europe. That is why we must end this war with dignity and with guaranteed security. And this is what we will discuss with our partners during the G7 Summit in France, and later at the European Council Summit and at the NATO Summit in Ankara.

In court filing, Team Trump said “thunderstorms” caused Kennedy Center to violate court order and fail to remove Trump’s name by deadline Filing doesn’t explain why they waited til last minute to do the job

They started a war and now are blaming a state for their suffering. The entire world is struggling because of the stupidity of this action. Burgum is a liar. It’s exhausting and dangerous having Cabinet secretaries who are such dangerous fools.

Vodka is running strong through his veins…..

Last month, solar power generated 12.8% of electricity in the U.S. while coal was responsible for 12.2%. It’s the first time in history that solar accounted for more energy than coal. 🔋 abcnews.com/US/solar-generat…

I want to give you guys some facts about General Chappie James. He wasn’t a “DEI” hire—he was a complete badass that had to overcome MORE than any white pilot. Did 178 combat missions—that’s like 7 bomber tours on a B-17 in WWII. His medal count? Impeccable. 3 Distinguished Flying Crosses, 14 Air Medals, Two Legions of Merit, and a Defense Distinguished Service Medal. One of the original Tuskegee Airmen, the first four-star African American General. Hegseth couldn’t sniff the level of soldiering and warrior that was in Chappie’s DNA. God bless him. And Hegseth took down his picture from a hallway like a racist little child, which is what he is.
