NEWS: Congresswoman Joyce Beatty sues Trump to block the renaming of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

Read the complaint: washingtonlitigationgroup.org/news/new-law...
Case 1:25-cv-04480 Document 1 Filed 12/22/25 Page 2 of 18 INTRODUCTION This is a lawsuit to stop the unlawful renaming of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts ("the Kennedy Center"). Shortly after President Kennedy's assassination, Congress designated the Kennedy Center as the sole national memorial to the late President within the nation's capital. Because Congress named the center by statute, changing the Kennedy Center's name requires an act of Congress. But on December 18 and 19, 2025—in scenes more reminiscent of authoritarian regimes than the American republic the sitting President and his handpicked loyalists renamed this storied center after President Trump. This is a flagrant violation of the rule of law, and it flies in the face of our constitutional order. Congress intended the Center to be a living memorial to President Kennedy-and a crown jewel of the arts for all Americans, irrespective of party. Unless and until this Court intervenes, Defendants will continue to defy Congress and thwart the law for improper ends. 2. For decades, the Kennedy Center has served as a renowned hub for the arts in the nation's capital. But when Defendant Trump entered office for his second term in January 2025, he became fixated on controlling the Kennedy Center. In February 2025, in a norm-shattering development, Defendant Trump ousted members of the Kennedy Center's Board of Trustees; installed sycophants in their place; orchestrated the firing of the Kennedy Center's President; and installed Defendant Richard Grenell, who served in the first Trump Administration, to lead the Kennedy Center. In a stunning move, Defendant Trump even appointed himself to the Board, after which his handpicked Board elected him as Chair. The ongoing politicization of the Kennedy Center has had grave consequences for the institution. Major figures have broken their ties with the Kennedy Center, and public reporting has found that nearly half of the Kennedy Center's tickets now go…

Okay real talk, the only sense in which GenAI is "here to stay" is that even after the bubble pops, AI is digital asbestos that is poisoning everything and we'll probably be picking the detritus out of everywhere it's ended up for years, assuming there's a will to remove it en masse that is.

There’s going to be a significant cottage industry for geezer developers — like me for instance — to go in and “de-cruft” applications that younger devs can’t comprehend.

Watching the ongoing implosion of the Heritage Foundation with interest. This may be one of the greatest examples ever of the proverbial "dog that caught the car". They're basically getting every single thing they wanted from their Project 2025 manifesto, and guess what? Normal people despise this.

I have a society-improving idea. Micro-charges for unsolicited phone calls. If the caller is not identified or verifiable, $.10 per unsolicited call. If the caller can be traced to a scam operation, a fee of $1,000 per call to every recipient.

🔥Thirty people dying in ICE custody isn’t a glitch — it’s a system built on neglect and zero accountability. If any other agency had a death toll like this, there’d be national outrage. With ICE, we’re told to look away. I won’t.🔥

"Metropolis does not use license plate recognition,” Morrissey said. “Instead, our computer vision platform is trained on a comprehensive and proprietary data set to recognize vehicles with a ‘vehicle fingerprint’ based on its unique characteristics..."
Two of the city's largest parking garages are now using artificial intelligence to recognize your car
The city and the new operator, Metropolis, promise a smooth experience from the technology, but customers in other cities have filed class-action lawsuits over the system.

All of these bootlegged copies of the 60 Minutes segment flooding my feed (saying, ‘Watch it quick! Before it disappears!’) makes me feel like I’m in the Soviet Union and just got some black market foreign newspaper I need to hide under a floorboard in my house.

This is where America is now
