BREAKING: we just won our Kennedy Center case!
Both the renaming & the closure of the Kennedy Center are enjoined
Kudos to our wonderful client @RepBeatty
& my colleagues @DDAction_ & Washington Litigation Group
This is a 1-2 punch against Trump's corruption
Breaking WaPo:
Multiple scientists who serve on an independent board established to guide the nation's nearly $9 billion basic science funding agency were just terminated from their positions by Trump. The National Science Board was established in 1950 to guide the governance of the National Science Foundation.
A loud bang of gun shots, then “Get down, get down, get down!”
I hit the floor at the White House Correspondent’s Dinner mid conversation with Jamie @RepRaskin, who heroically protected me, whispering, “You’re ok, you’re ok, you’re ok,” while my host from the @BostonGlobe laid on the ground while furiously taking notes, and thousands of journalists, photographers, and editors took cover under tables and beneath chairs.
Then the doors burst open, and scores of Secret Service agents rushed into the room, many with hands on holsters.
They rushed for cabinet secretaries and pulled them to safety.
Then security started yelling, “Go, go, go,” demanding that we leave.
It was terrifying. But I am still grateful to the brave Secret Service, to my friends at the @BostonGlobe, and most especially to Jamie @RepRaskin.

Bruce Springsteen last night in LA: “The America I love, the America I’ve written about for 50 years that has been a beacon of hope and liberty around the world is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, racist, reckless, and treasonous administration” (Video: Margaret Nagle/Threads)
In an age of creeping relativism, a universal moral law still exists.
Threatening to end an entire civilization of 90 million people in order to bend a nation’s conduct to your will is grossly morally wrong. It is evil. And we should say this loudly.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani announces that 2K, free preschool for 2 year olds, will be full day and full year - from 8am to 6pm, 260 days a year. 3K and prek typically end at 2:30 and are closed over the summer - a major difference for working parents.

BREAKING: ABSOLUTE ISOLATION! Trump is left out in the cold as the UK holds an emergency meeting with 30 other countries to resolve the Hormuz Crisis … and the US is completely excluded!
More than 30 countries held a virtual meeting to figure out how to get oil tankers moving again through the Strait of Hormuz after Trump’s war shut it down.
The meeting is being chaired by the United Kingdom’s foreign secretary, and the United States wasn't even invited!
This is a stunning development. For decades, the U.S. Navy has been the guarantor of freedom of navigation in critical waterways like the Strait of Hormuz. Now, under Trump, America is sitting on the sidelines while allies try to clean up the mess he created.
The illegal war Trump started has left the global economy reeling and shows no sign of abating as Marines prepare to deploy, the Iranians dig in, longstanding alliances that secured geopolitical stability crumble.
Now, he’s so incensed America’s longstanding allies they don’t even want his minions at the table to help fix the crisis he caused.
If Trump abandoning America’s traditional role as protector of freedom of navigation while allies scramble to reopen the Strait of Hormuz disgusts you, like and share to call it out: This isn’t America First, it’s America AWOL!
Absolute bombshell on Fox News. An expert National Security Analyst confirms the Trump administration is completely purging the Pentagon. Pete Hegseth has fired over a dozen top generals, including the heads of the Navy and Air Force, right in the middle of a massive war.
“Dumping the Army chief of staff in the middle of a war, without explanation, is a reckless move even by Hegseth’s standards,” @RadioFreeTom argues: https://t.co/Qxmsl1GnAZ
All this and myriad other data points are meaningful--& in a normal year--might be persuasive.
What polling, betting markets and analytics can't easily account for is the impact of massive spending by @realDonaldTrump's SuperPac; potential interventions by DOJ, DHS and even military in the voting process and the abuse of other levers of power to influence who turns out and which ballots are counted.
And then there is the question of how the malleable @SpeakerJohnson will play his Constitutionally-established role as referee AFTER the election?
So calm down, @ForecasterEnten! There may be turbulence ahead!
By blocking the broadcast of this interview, all Trump-FCC-CBS did was give more attention and eyeballs to the segment … if it had just aired like normal - no one would be talking about it - instead - they’ve elevated @jamestalarico even more.
This, my friends, is how it is done: Lean in. Expose. Defy.
The phrase “Speaking truth to power,” has become something of a cliche. Maybe that’s because we see it so seldom in practice. But we saw it last night, and it was spectacular.

This is the interview Donald Trump didn’t want you to see.
His FCC refused to air my interview with Stephen Colbert.
Trump is worried we’re about to flip Texas.
Audits in Utah, Idaho, Louisiana, Montana, and Georgia found a few dozen possible noncitizen registrants out of millions—and virtually no voting. Trump’s claim that noncitizens are swinging elections is false, says Cato’s @stephen_richer.

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change — all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.
