Trump had his name removed from the Epstein files and put it on the Kennedy Center

happy bday French educator Ferdinand-Édouard Buisson, b.1841, awarded Nobel Peace Prize in 1927. "A human society obeys the dictates of reason and is guided and governed by a respect for justice."

Them: “Keep Christ in Christmas!” Me: "Ok! Let's spend the holidays feeding the hungry, giving water to the thirsty, welcoming immigrants, supporting the poor, providing healthcare for the sick, and visiting those in prison." Them: “Wait... No. Not like that.”

“It was not unanimous. I was muted and not allowed to speak.” 🤔

The White House says the Kennedy Center board vote was “unanimous”… BULLSHIT. @repbeatty.bsky.social, a Congressional member of the board, was on the call. They muted her and didn't let her voice opposition. This is beyond absurd, totally illegal, and a disgrace to the memory and legacy of JFK.

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

I’m calling it. The speechwriters over at SNL have made the decision. Trump‘s speech will be the cold open on Saturday.

What the absolute [expletive] was that?!?

WATCH: “So is your website lying??” Trump’s FCC stooge Brendan Carr refuses to say the FCC is an independent agency when grilled by @lujan.senate.gov & @andykimnj.bsky.social — aaaand the word “independent” has now been REMOVED from the FCC website. We are over the cliff, folks. 🇺🇸

Praise song for morning #Asheville

She could wile away the hours …

The Trump administration*

An unapologetic ally through and through. Thank you, Rob Reiner. May you and Michele rest in power.

Michelle Obama talks to Jimmy Kimmel about Rob Reiner and Michele Reiner. This is from tonight’s episode.

Good morning from Asheville

The tragedy of Rob and Michelle’s deaths are incomprehensible. I’m hearing Rob’s voice telling us all to do more, to repair the human soul, to repair our hearts, to repair our country, to repair our world, to keep fighting, to keep living for every soul taken from this earth.

As we mourn Rob Reiner, don’t skip this: he was, pretty much, personally responsible for overturning California’s Prop 8 banning same sex marriage. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

Good morning from Asheville

So you name your product Bucked Up …. What the Buck …

How we sundown … Asheville

I’m always inspired by the young people I meet through our @obamafoundation.bsky.social Voyagers and Scholars programs. Together, they’re creating change and tackling some of the world’s most pressing challenges.

Who is getting measles and pencils for Christmas 🤔

Good morning from Asheville

End of day

I’m so proud of the talented Leo High School Choir and all they are doing to represent the South Side of Chicago!
