It's so weird that the "surprise" "vote" happened yesterday but they had the external lettering, tarps, and crew all ready to go.
Breaking News: Workers began adding President Trump’s name to the Kennedy Center, despite no action by Congress to legally rename it. This sparked outrage among the Kennedy family, since it was built to be a living memorial to the 35th president.

They're not waiting on the Supreme Court to tell them they can ignore the clear, plain text of the 14th Amendment that everyone born in the US is a birthright citizenship. They are trying to erase the citizenship of anyone with skin darker than Stephen Miller's through administrative action alone.

My grandfather spent years in the U.S. before returning to Colombia. He used to take us to the Kennedy Center at Christmas to see The Nutcracker. As a kid I especially loved the Hall of Nations, with its flags from all over the world. It hurts to see this place defaced and disrespected by a tyrant.
New Photo: Trump’s name added to Kennedy Center exterior.
Yesterday’s announcement about the name change “drew swift condemnation from Kennedy family members and Democratic leaders, who called it illegal and said only Congress could change the center’s name.”

I think it's a little odd how people go in for this kind of nuclear-strength rhetoric over a disagreement about what issues it is most advantageous to talk about at the margin.
What you need to understand is @mattyglesias.bsky.social is a moral black hole and even then his depraved indifference brand of advice to democrats does not win elections

Second, I think it is very odd to publicly attack someone in writing, and then when they respond to you by saying there is a lot of data to prove your interpretation of things wrong, you just dismiss them as 'the leader of the anti-me bandwagon'. I do not think that's a good way to pursue truth

Can I just say 2 things: First, Matt fails to see how these two sentences are different:
"Trump is weak on the economy and highlighting it is bad for him"
"Trump is weak on the economy, so Democrats shouldn't talk about immigration"
I think this says a lot about his ideological priors

Here's a good post from Elliott Morris, the leader of the anti-Yglesias bandwagon, about how Trump's biggest political vulnerability is the cost of living and how Trump is screwing up by drawing more attention to it.

Missing the deadline = breaking the law.
Deputy AG Blanche just said the Trump DOJ will miss the Epstein files deadline.
He says "several hundred thousand" docs will be released today, "and then over the next couple weeks, I expect several hundred thousand more."
All files are required by law to be released today.
