One last fucked up 2025 scoop—FEMA has begun issuing termination notices to CORE staff (appointed under the Stafford Act, ordinarily extended for 2 years) effective Jan 2, agency sources tell me. Sr leadership was asked if they could be given more notice but Acting Administrator Karen Evans said no.

On December 14th, I sat across from 142 New Yorkers as they shared their concerns, their dreams, the leadership they long for from City Hall. Our campaign was built around listening to the people of New York, and we will govern in the same way. Tomorrow, we get to work.

I'm going to suggest that we stop accepting this as true. Yes, we all saw the Supreme Court do this, and we absolutely should hold them responsible for it. But we should declare here and now that this was bullshit at best, and is a precedent destined to die, because we will kill it.

At the start of 2025, we knew this movement would play a pivotal role in the fight against authoritarianism. Still, we’re blown away by the level of commitment and dedication you have shown throughout a difficult year. Thank you for reminding the regime that power still belongs with the people.

This is authoritarian rot in plain sight. A DOJ weaponized against “enemies” of a sitting president isn’t law enforcement — it’s vengeance. That’s how democracies die: not overnight, but when power decides dissent is a crime.

This is not hard. Artists are not responsible for ensuring the Kennedy Center remains relevant and successful. The center’s board is responsible for that, in a fiduciary way. All of this energy being directed at artists should be re-directed at the board.
