Kennedy Center ticket sales have plummeted since Trump takeover Nearly nine months into Trump’s oversight, sales for the three largest performance venues are the worst they’ve been since the pandemic, according to a Washington Post analysis.

When Trump took over the Kennedy Center, his team accused it of not selling enough tickets and vowed to make it "hot." Instead, ticket sales under Trump have plummeted to their worst in years. @travismandrews.bsky.social @jeremybmerrill.com Shelly Tan www.washingtonpost.com/entertainmen...

Pop Base tweets: "Kim Kardashian said on ‘The Kardashians’ that she believes the moon landing was fake: “They’re gonna say I’m crazy no matter what, but like, go to TikTok. See for yourself. […] There’s no gravity on the moon. Why is the flag blowing? The shoes that they have in the museum that they wore on the moon is a different print in the photos. Why are there no stars?”"

"go to TikTok. See for yourself."

This was just posted by a CBS News producer on their Instagram stories.

CBS News' Race & Culture unit is cut.

Weiss criticized it last year after it met with Tony Dokoupil, who ignored show plan & said Ta-Nehisi Coates's book could be "in the backpack of an extremist."

Now: Unit cut & Dokoupil just did a softball Netanyahu interview right before Israel broke ceasefire

Senate rejects Trump tariffs on Brazil The vote serves as a symbolic rebuke of Trump's trade policies.

Hope you ate all their food and drank their finest wine too!😉

A lot of people on social media like to point out that when people die the tributes are often accompanied by photos of them when they were young and beautiful (as opposed to old and beautiful). So let me just say that I’m posting this because it’s one of my favourite portraits full stop by one of the greatest ever British portrait photographers. And fuck off.

Waking up, again, to the sound of two white men on the radio arguing about whether it is ok to be made "mad" by the very sight of black and Asian people on TV. 😒

I have a very bad feeling about this...

"How many migrants should the Tories expel" is Peston's second question, after "is it racist or realist" to say you hate seeing black faces on TV?

(If you are a racist, it could be both racist *and* realist to observe that you do indeed hate seeing black faces).

Today at the Newspaper Delivery Olympics …

Gonna be honest here and say as a journalist working in Westminster this makes me want to cry

My grandparents had to deal with this crap and now we are, it’s so wrong

How are we here where politicians feel so emboldened to say things that are so obviously racist?

Monthly DoD payroll is ~$16 billion. This supposed "gift" would cover less than 1% of that amount.

If split evenly among active duty service members, each would get just under $100.

Reporters who don't challenge on this are committing egregious malpractice.

Look. These are Nazi talking points. That's not NICE to say, but it's true, and it makes me sick.

It's not lost on me that the part of the White House we are destroying is the part that has to do with women's history in the White House.

The White House's East Wing construction rubble was taken to East Potomac Golf Course. It was reported that the rubble will be used to create mounds on the golf course.

This is genuinely gut-wrenching. Anyone associated w this structure knows the endless ranks of people, over the decades, who have treated the structure and surroundings w respect—since they were symbols for traditions of America as a whole

Too apt a metaphor for Trump and US institutions overall

Why Trump Turned to the Sewer The president’s disturbing, excremental propaganda campaign

Trump's AI video, showing himself as a pilot dumping shit on Americans, fits right in to a long authoritarian tradition
