Trump closing The Kennedy Center because he can’t have his name on it is literally the adult version of “I’m taking my bat and ball and going home.”

All I ask is that we don’t normalize these people once they’re out of the administration. Don’t ever forget what cruelty they enabled and defended.

I spent 18 months aggregating Trump's ties to Putin and Russia and the Russian oligarchs. It's all public information and totally obvious to anyone paying attention. It's also all still online here and searchable: InvestigateRussia.org

Committee to Investigate Russia

CIR is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization helping Americans recognize and understand the gravity of Russia’s continuing attacks on our democracy.

NEW: The trove of documents released by the White House last week about the Russia investigation shed new light on a longstanding question: Whatever happened to the counterintelligence investigation the FBI wanted done into Trump's ties to Russia? Short answer: It was sidetracked before it ever had a chance to get going. nytimes.com/2026/08/10/us/po…

How a Counterintelligence Inquiry Into Trump’s Russia Ties Was Derailed

Documents released by the White House shed new light on the demise of an often-overlooked 2017 F.B.I. investigation.

So out of touch. At my first full-time job, I barely made enough to cover bills. When the 401k ppl came to speak to the company, I asked the rep if he could see my salary. When he said yes, I asked if he thought I made enough to put money away. Meeting ended right there.

My plea to Democrats in Congress is this: get back to Washington. Even if you can't gavel in from recess. Even if you don't have a quorum. Even if another war powers resolution vote fails. It's not enough to Tweet. Get inside the building and show the world you are trying. NOW!
