Adding your name to a memorial already named in honor of a great man doesn’t make you a great man. Quite the contrary. Putting your name on top of someone else’s doesn’t mean that people will speak of you in the same breath as the other man. Putting your name above another man’s name on his existing memorial… What is that about? Truly? What’s that about? Do you want people to speak the names as one? Dig down deep. What are you trying to say? I’m really interested. There is no other president who would do this. None. Zero. In fact, it’s not even legal. Congress named the performing arts center as a living memorial in 1964, and only congress can change that law.

This will always be the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Art. A great man would have said to his hand picked board, “Thank you, but the building already has its name. Let it stand. Let it be. I don’t need that.” But then again…

The same people who lost their minds over renovations to Cracker Barrel are totally fine with the White House getting bulldozed

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

We have just over two weeks to pass Prop 50. And when we do, it will send a message of hope across the country, that change is possible if we do the work.

So, let’s get to it. https://t.co/EodmVsbE9o

Current situation.

Corruption goes courtside.

[Adam Kinzinger (Slava Ukraini) 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @AdamKinzinger]

Will not a single elected Republican speak up

[Lindsey Boylan @LindseyBoylan]

I am one of these women. I have been legally abused by Andrew Cuomo for years after being harassed as his staffer. Now he wants to be mayor. Shame on you Cuomo and thank you ⁦@ZohranKMamdani⁩ for speaking out on this injustice.

[Rep. Eric Swalwell @RepSwalwell]

Literally. And figuratively.

Donald Trump destroyed the White House.

[Jim Acosta @Acosta]

Trump lied when he said his ballroom project would not impact the WH. He lied when he said it would be privately funded. Now he wants the taxpayers to pay for it. This is is outright corruption at levels we have not seen in American history. Some thoughts.

[David Frum @davidfrum]

It's also a reminder that a United States senator matters in the world, which should shame those other senators who flinch from doing their jobs.

[David Frum @davidfrum]

Rights of due process don't depend on our personal opinions of the accused. For example, I regard the January 6, 2021, criminals as insurrectionists and traitors - yet I am still glad that each and every one of them got a proper trial before they were convicted and sentenced.

Kilmar Albrego Garcia’s Union is calling for his return and I for one appreciate this so much! This should also show the kind of man Kilmar is to have so many people fighting for his freedom! 💪

[Democrats @TheDemocrats]

Thank you for your leadership, Senator.

[Amy Klobuchar @amyklobuchar]

My colleague Chris Van Hollen went to El Salvador to meet with Kilmar Abrego Garcia and despite the obstacles, he succeeded. He is standing up for the rule of law and fighting for what is right.

[Rene Macleay Santiago @rene_macleay]

@ChrisVanHollen Senator - you make me very proud to be an American today. You used your station, power and privilege as a white man, an elected official, Senator of the people of Maryland, to stand up for our constitution and for someone powerless in the face of his circumstance. Thank you sir.

[Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen]

I went to El Salvador hoping to meet with Kilmar & check on his well-being, and I had the chance to do that last night.

Our courts have been clear: this was an ILLEGAL abduction. I’m speaking now about my meeting with Kilmar & our work to bring him home: https://t.co/0tZjVonkUF

Do it while we still can!

BREAKING: Democrat Adam Gray wins election to a U.S. House seat representing California’s Central Valley, unseating Republican Rep. John Duarte in the final House contest to be determined this year. https://t.co/thk3bklZaC

#CA13 FLIPS BLUE!

@AdamGrayCA is a native son of the Valley who understands firsthand the issues that families in his district care about most, and he's going to bring his track record of service and bipartisanship to the halls of Congress. Congrats, Congressman-elect!
