why? a private business has rights, doesn't it? to conduct business with anyone it wants? When the banks cancelled millions of American's accounts during covid, we didn't freak out. Banks routinely cancel or approve business deals, like every single day. No one "owes" trump anything
Neal Katyal: "I was able to go to court -- the son of immigrants -- and say on behalf of American small businesses, 'Hey, this president is acting illegally.' I was able to present my case, have them ask really hard questions, and at the end of it they voted and we won. That is something extraordinary about this country."
The Kennedy Center was named after my uncle, President John F Kennedy. It was named in his honor. He was a man who was interested in the arts, interested in culture, interested in education, language, history. He brought the arts into the White House, and he and my Aunt Jackie amplified the arts, celebrated the arts, stood up for the arts and artists.
It is beyond comprehension that this sitting president has sought to rename this great memorial dedicated to President Kennedy. It is beyond wild that he would think adding his name in front of President Kennedy’s name is acceptable. It is not.
Next thing perhaps he will want to rename JFK Airport, rename the Lincoln Memorial, the Trump Lincoln Memorial. The Trump Jefferson Memorial. The Trump Smithsonian. The list goes on.
Can we not see what is happening here? C’mon, my fellow Americans! Wake up! This is not dignified. This is not funny. This is way beneath the stature of the job. It’s downright weird. It’s obsessive in a weird way. Just when you think somone can’t stoop any lower, down they go…
@VaughnHillyard we literally have a president who exemplifies bullying and childish behavior. Children will see these plaques, children are being taught, by example, that we bully, belittle, mock, and makefun of other people. And... a lot of people in our country excuse & support his behavior

@jamesfishback Really? So starting a middle ground third party isn’t good for democrats or GOP? If so, that’s exactly right! We need a new middle ground groups of people who will not bankrupt our country
@RpsAgainstTrump right. stop listening to people who invested decades of their life studying & researching disease, viruses, infections, & medical science & instead, go with your best guess, hunch, or better yet, what some influencer has to say who has no such expertise.
- Largest transfer of wealth to the rich in American history.
- Largest cut to Medicaid in American history.
- Largest cut to food assistance in American history.
