Vonnegut, Saroyan, Tolstoi, Kingsolver, W.T.Vollmann, Upton Sinclair, Cormac Mccarthy, "The Count of Monte Cristo". I could go on, but you get the idea.

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.

Optics. That's the extent of Trump policies that benefit ordinary people. And then piling benefits onto the already-wealthy is the real mission.

In the spirit of trying to say something nice, Trump's speech tonight was better than most of his because it was (mercifully) shorter.
It was a hate-fueled, racist, collection of blatant lies and petty whines, but it was a shorter collection of blatant lies and petty whines than usual.
