DEMOCRATS—hell yes, do it‼️

Force the full bill reading on the floor. No more Senators pretending they didn’t know what was in it when they voted.

📌 Senate Dems may make clerks read the entire budget bill out loud. Good. People want fight—this is one way to show it.

Also, federal artist grants now will prioritize Nationalist USA USA 250th anniversary theme applications. In fact to get funded you need to incorporate US 250 somewhere…
Trump is taking over the Kennedy Center board, appointing himself as chair. No president has ever done this. The last time the arts were forced to align with government messaging? WWII Germany. This is a power grab, not culture. Speak out. #HandsOffTheArts
