Demolishing the Kennedy Center would be flagrantly illegal, but unlike Trump's illegal closure of the venue, it would be irreversible.
I’m working with colleagues to support legal efforts to protect this flagship cultural institution, led by Kennedy Center Board member @repbeatty.bsky.social.

In 1930 Congress gave the president Section 338 tariff authorities.
Trump has abused them.
In 1962 Congress gave the president Section 232 tariff authorities.
Trump has abused them.
Extending ACA tax credits for a year would’ve cost $23 billion, but Trump and Republicans allowed those credits to expire. Nearly 3 million Americans have lost their health coverage since.
This reckless war has already cost more than $38 billion.
We can make different choices.
Since returning to the White House, Donald Trump has traded more stocks and other investments than every Member of Congress combined.

I appreciate its supporters' intentions, but the Lindsey Graham Sanctioning Russia Act would do more harm than good for America AND Ukraine.
Trump has abused every trade authority he has, it would be a huge mistake to give him even bigger tariff authorities now.
Don't do this.
A bipartisan group of my colleagues and I are urging leaders of both parties to take immediate action to address the risks posed by rapidly advancing AI.
Immigrants are being denied or given redacted copies of their immigration records, documents which they need to prove their legal status in court. In some cases, the Trump Administration is even saying these records don’t exist even when lawyers know they do.
This is illegal.
The EPA set standards to ensure companies can’t put their bottom line ahead of our clean air. Yet once again, the Trump Administration is choosing to boost corporate profits at the expense of people's health.
The President will always put his donors above the American people.
For the families of the 67 lives lost on Flight 5342 and aboard PAT 25, the painful truth is that this tragedy was preventable.
We owe these families more than words. We owe them action, and that means passing aviation safety reforms to keep our skies safe and prevent another tragedy like this.
Trump ran the Kennedy Center's attendance into the ground by illegally putting his name on it, which was blocked by the courts.
Now he's trying to cover up the damage he's done to one of our great cultural institutions by shutting it down.
Endless incompetence and narcissism.
Trump doesn’t even use email or a computer. His only engagement with AI has been slop posts.
He’s doing what his big tech backers like Mark Zuckerberg and David Sacks tell him to do.
They’re telling him to put Americans at risk so they can make more money.
Pure corruption.
Hispanic Heritage Month honors the culture and contributions of Hispanics and Latinos who’ve helped make our country stronger.
At a time when many families are experiencing uncertainty and fear, it's especially important to recognize the dignity, resilience, and belonging of our Hispanic neighbors.
Far too often Congress reacts AFTER a disaster. We must not only be reactive with artificial intelligence, we can't wait for an AI catastrophe to spur a response.
L’shana Tovah! Wishing everyone celebrating Rosh Hashanah a happy and healthy new year filled with peace, joy, and sweetness.
On September 11, 2001, nearly 3,000 Americans were killed, including people who lived and worked right here in Northern Virginia.
25 years later, we remember those we lost. And we remember the courage, and sense of community that emerged in the face of unimaginable tragedy.
The founders of @911day.bsky.social sought to transform the anniversary of a tragedy into an opportunity to do good.
Packing meals for Americans in need is a good way to honor the lives we lost, and the courage of the first responders who sacrificed themselves to help others.
25 years ago terrorists attacked our country and our community in one of the darkest days we've ever seen.
It was a day of tragedy and horror, but also of great courage and sacrifice.
From New York City, NY, to Shanksville, PA, to Arlington, VA, we remember the heroes of 9/11.
I don’t know what this even means, but I do know the reason Trump won’t give a straight answer is that he doesn’t really mean to send these checks to anyone.
He has lied about this over and over again, and he’s lying now. Just like he lied when he said he would lower costs.
The “Trump dividends” scam is just Trump’s latest attempt to distract the country from the Republican affordability crisis.
Trump promised he would lower prices, and instead he keeps mashing the “make stuff more expensive button.”
The American people will not be fooled.
Trump and Vance are lying.
They’ve promised over and over again to send people huge checks. “Tariff dividends.” “DOGE checks.” “ACA savings.”
Republicans have total control of government now and never did any of it.
It’s just another scam from the Con Man In Chief.
