Renaming the Kennedy Center for Trump would be a sacrilege. JFK was a martyred, historic US president whose name is synonymous with artistic excellence in America. The idea that Trump would put his name BEFORE Kennedy’s—or even alongside it—is obscene. The Kennedy Center should never be renamed.

The above photo was taken by me when I was 11 years old and President Kennedy was in Memphis and on the way to a speech on the bluff during the 1960 campaign

Trump‘s named Kennedy Center board voted today to rename the Kennedy Center, “Trump Kennedy Center.”This is a sacrilege to the memory of a martyred and heroic assassinated president of the United States. The center was named in his honor and should stay that way. PT 109 and bone spurs don’t match.

AI data centers and cryptomining are driving up energy demand nationwide. I introduced the Clean Cloud Act to protect consumers and ensure that growth is backed by clean power—not higher household utility bills. In a new op-ed, @michaeljohnshank.bsky.social and I lay out why Congress must act now.

A husband and wife were killed, their family is grieving. That should be the end of it. Using someone’s death as an opportunity for mockery & political scoring is grotesque and falls far short of basic standards we should expect from anyone in a position of leadership. The message is the messenger.

Brown killings and Australian slaughter of Jews. Too many guns in the hands of disturbed people. This violence must be dealt with with and not just in the courts but in our legislatures. Gun permits, not permitless carry and mental health background checks for a permit and for purchases.

Trump’s National Security Strategy is a disaster. At a moment when Russia is threatening European security, America must stand firmly with our allies, not criticize and abandon them. Trump idolizes strongmen and dictators. These are not American values. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Anxd...

Housing stability is a national crisis, especially for low-income seniors. That’s why I secured $3M in federal funding for a new program with LISC Memphis & Habitat for Humanity of Memphis that gives grants for critical home repairs. This will help hundreds of Memphis seniors stay in their homes.

From parades, to the “Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace”, plans for Trump branding at a new DC NFL stadium and the Kennedy Center, Trump keeps trying to elevate himself. Now his birthday will be a free National Parks day while MLK Day & Juneteenth are removed. He’s putting himself above Dr. King.

Donald Trump just removed Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth from the list of free entry days at national parks. They are being replaced with Trump’s birthday.

Wyeth Chandler was a good Mayor and an outstanding Judge. He was Mayor when I got my first government position as assistant police legal advisor and later as police legal advisor. I called on him for advice for law while a state senator.

Trump had the president of the U.S. Institute of Peace forcibly removed from his office earlier this year. A federal court ruled that his dismantling of the USIP was a "gross usurpation of power"—the case is still in court. Now he's slapping his name and his own toxic brand on the building anyway.
