For the record. This was not unanimous. I was muted on the call and not allowed to speak or voice my opposition to this  move. Also for the record, this was not on the agenda. This was not consensus. This is censorship.

REPUBLICAN SEN. PAUL: “There’s no evidence these people are armed. We’ve never decided to shoot unarmed smugglers without even proof they’re smuggling. It’s horrendous. Illegal. Immoral. Wars of offense are not a good idea. I’m not for sending 🇺🇸 kids to die for oil.”

House Republicans pulled an all-nighter to pass tax cuts for billionaires but when it's time to lower health insurance costs for millions of Americans they went home.

[Amy Siskind @Amy_Siskind]

What a shocker. It appears that Trump regime is now cooking the numbers.

The con with this lying fucking loser never stops.
Thank you @JessicaTarlov for always giving us the truthful facts.

Trump’s address was a lie filled mess. The inflation story being sold by Trump doesn’t match real life. The new number leaves out food, rent, and health care and only counts cheaper gas.

Big investment numbers are inflated, and the “warrior dividend” is just already allocated money with a new label. It's spin and it's uncool.

Tapper: What do you make of the fact that they've already changed the website?

Beatty: They have no regard for the rule of law. They are acting as what criminals do. And it's criminal that they are doing this.

Donald Trump will go down in history as the first American president to have willingly betrayed his own country in service to a foreign enemy. His acts of treason will be taught in history books for generations to come, and the name 'Trump' will become synonymous with treachery.

BREAKING: Leaked audio uncovered by the NY Times reveals that Trump pressured the Georgia House Speaker Ralston to claim fraud to call a special election and overturn the results.

"Who's gonna stop you for that?"
Extreme corruption.

BREAKING: Trump’s so-called “$1,776 Warrior Dividend” is just another TRUMP SCAM!

CNN reports the one-time bonuses aren’t new money at all but they’re being pulled from funds Congress already approved for troops’ housing and household expenses.

So in other words he’s stealing from troops to pay off troops and make it seem like he’s a hero

[Christopher Webb @cwebbonline]

The most corrupt president in modern U.S. history should be behind bars.

🚨 Newly obtained recording from late 2020: Trump is heard pressuring the Speaker of the Georgia House of Representatives to convene a special legislative session to overturn his election loss.

Of course they will. There will be a Trump Jefferson, and a Trump Lincoln Memorial, just to name a few being proposed by members of his administration. Next will be the Trump Smithsonian Museum. There are no limits to his insane ego. None.

[timshriver @TimShriver]

Perhaps the board isn’t aware that the Kennedy Center is 𝗧𝗛𝗘 memorial to the president of the United States, John F. Kennedy. Would they rename the Lincoln memorial? The Jefferson? That would be an insult to great presidents. This too is an insult to a great president.

Notwithstanding their short-sighted action, it is and will remain the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

Some say the VA eliminating unfilled positions is just housekeeping and won’t have an impact on healthcare for Veterans. Well, according to the latest report, those unfilled positions include 7,413 nursing positions, 231 physician assistant jobs, and 2,733 physicians.

It’s their housing money.

🚨 BREAKING: Rep. Joyce Beatty says claims of a “unanimous” vote to rename the Kennedy Center the Trump-Kennedy Center are false.

Beatty, an ex officio board member, says she was on the call, repeatedly muted, and never allowed to speak, object, or vote — despite the White House later announcing unanimity.

She says the move was not on the agenda, violated the law creating the Kennedy Center, and silenced dissenting members.

“This is not consensus. This is censorship.”
