The Kennedy Center was financially stable for 55 years. One year of Trump as chairman of the board, and it’s facing bankruptcy. If that doesn’t feel like a metaphor for what’s happening to this country, I don’t know what does. Trump is the worst person alive. Do you agree?

Congratulations!
Congratulations to Bishop Robert P. Boxie, III on his historic ordination as the youngest bishop in the United States! During his six years as Howard University’s Catholic chaplain, Bishop Boxie expanded student programming, mentored Bison through Alternative Spring Break, and championed the rich history of Black Catholicism. Now, he steps into the highest levels of leadership within the Archdiocese of Washington. As he reflects on this monumental milestone, Bishop Boxie credits The Mecca for his journey: “I sent a message to our community at Howard: ‘You made your chaplain a bishop.’ And Holy Mother Church thanks you.” Read the full story on The Dig: thedig.howard.edu/all-storie… #HowardUniversity

So sad hearing this painful news. Take comfort in knowing your little angel is with God. You and your family are in my prayers.
Today I am returning home to be with my family during an incredibly painful and deeply personal time. Our family’s 12-day-old daughter, granddaughter, and great-granddaughter has returned home to God this afternoon. We have been in God’s hands throughout all of this.

Thank you, Kristen, for maintaining your cool professional demeanor. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Trump completely lost it on Kristen Welker. He said she was crooked, stupid and walked out of the interview! I stand with Kristen Welker and all of the journalists Trump has attacked over the years. Who is with me? ✋

BREAKING: Veteran journalist Jim Acosta is vindicated in the worst way possible as Trump’s latest outburst proves he IS a danger to democracy and a free press! Back in Trump’s first term, the former CNN anchor was among the first journalists to sound the alarm that Trump’s antipathy towards journalists presented a serious threat to democracy, a free press, and basic truth. Naturally, the MAGA world lost its collective mind, accusing Acosta of grandstanding, making it all about himself, and being a rude, overdramatic showboat. But Trump just spent years proving Acosta right on a daily basis, and it's gotten demonstrably worse during his second term, culminating in yesterday’s angry, sexist attack on CNN’s Kaitlan Collins before she’d even asked her a question. Acosta posted the receipts last night, resurfacing the infamous 2018 press conference clip where Trump personally berated him and insulted him personally on live television: “CNN should be ashamed of itself, having you working for them. You are a rude, terrible person. You shouldn’t be working for CNN… You are the enemy of the people.” Acosta’s question that day was about the Russia investigation, one that Trump clearly didn’t want to entertain. He told him to sit down, and launched into his first major “enemy of the people” rant against the press. “When I called out Trump years ago for being a danger to democracy, a free press, and truth itself, I was accused of making myself the story and showboating,” Acosta wrote today. “How did things turn out? Trump is all of those things. Tonight, the free press is very much in danger in America. Wake up!” Like a modern day Cassandra, he was right then, and he’s even more right now, and he should be heard. Trump never stopped attacking the free press, and has only intensified his derision for journalism, and disrespect for the truth, and accountability. The pattern of screaming “fake news” whenever he hears something he doesn’t like and launching ad hominem attacks on reporters as professionals and human beings has been part of the playbook since day one, and will continue to be so if we let it. History has proven Jim Acosta correct. If the United States no longer has a free press, it’s not the same country. That must not happen. If you agree, like and share this post.

BREAKING: Hunter Biden SHREDS the media's double standard toward the Trump family in one devastating post — and EVERY word is documented. Hunter Biden just posted something on X that cuts right to the heart of America's broken media landscape — and it's IMPOSSIBLE to argue with. "So let me get this straight," he wrote. "Jake Tapper is focused on attacking my Mom," referring to the comments the CNN anchor has made about disbelieving some of the claims in Jill Biden’s latest memoir. "Meanwhile, Jared and Ivanka are building a private island paradise on Albanian protected land." TRUE. Over 100,000 Albanians are in the streets. Anti-corruption prosecutors have opened an investigation. Flamingo habitats are being bulldozed. It BARELY registers on mainstream media. "Don Jr. married the daughter of Epstein's banker." Also TRUE. While Epstein survivors read their FBI abuse reports aloud outside the Justice Department, Pam Bondi refused to answer a even a SINGLE question about Trump and the Epstein files, and DOJ lawyers intervened to make sure she didn't. "A startup that Donald Jr. fund backs just got a record $620 million Pentagon loan." FACTCHECK: ALSO TRUE. While Trump's own financial disclosures show him trading stock in companies his administration then hands billion-dollar contracts to, Don Jr.'s SHADY investment connections to Pentagon contractors receive almost NO scrutiny from mainstream media. "Eric is taking an Israeli drone company public for $1.5 billion in the middle of a war with Iran that nobody wanted." Also TRUE, but that story got almost NO coverage. And then Hunter Biden delivered the punchline that lands like a sledgehammer: "And I know: 'But what about your paintings, Hunter?'" HUNTER IS 100% RIGHT: His art sales, laptop, and legal troubles consumed years of breathless media coverage. The Trump children's CORRUPT overseas business deals, foreign investments, Pentagon contracts, and connections to Jeffrey Epstein's associates a free pass. And while Jake Tapper attacks Jill Biden is being attacked for a book, Jared Kushner is bulldozing protected wetlands for a $4 billion resort while his father-in-law runs foreign policy, while raising BILLIONS from shady deals with foreign governments. There is simply NO comparison! Please like and share!

Happy birthday, Uncle Jack. ❤️ You brought so much laughter and joy to my childhood and to the world. I will always remember sneaking around the Oval Office, summers in Hyannis Port, and all the small moments between you and Daddy. I may be celebrating your birthday from here on earth, but as you aptly said, "A man may die, nations may rise and fall, but an idea lives on.” Your ideas continue to guide us every day. Thinking of you with love and gratitude.
