    Legacy news has it that the Kennedy center will be closed for two years for remodeling. Possibly a better choice than just letting it sit unused. Gilded French Provincial?

    I wouldn't be surprised, aesthetically compatible with the proposed Arc de Trump.

    Maybe the Trump Tower of Babble will be next.

    President Trump suggested during an appearance on the Dan Bongino Show that Republicans should "take over the voting" in at least 15 states and "nationalize" elections!

    I don't know what his agenda is for voting, but he's up to something since the constitution seems to prohibit such a thing. Although he seems to find ways around the constitution. I'm thinking the Fulton County FBI raid is a part of the scheme. Legacy news claims they are all blue states, although I've not double checked that. They might have to get a second supreme court to hear all of his legal challenges. The birthright citizenship ruling seems to be in the log jam as well as the restrictions on tariffs.

    Edit: Krugman's latest substack was on the Supreme Court ruling on tariffs. Two lower courts have ruled against them and he says it's basically an open and closed case. The tariffs are allowed under the "emergency economic powers act". Even the donald himself has proclaimed the strong economy and his servant, Bessent, now says it's an emergency to avoid an emergency. Yup. Krugman's claim was that the court has failed to act because they are "cowards".

    I didn’t like it when the Democrats pushed for the For the People Act, and I hope the SAVE Act meets the same ignominious end. Given what I’m hearing from John Thune and others, that seems likely.

    HUH! So, you are all in for gerrymandering? And, ids such as driver’s licenses were always required to vote. I just looked up the save act and that is all that is required. IMO, it has been proven time and again our voting processes are secure.

    Bannon has proposed have ICE and troops to polling places. I don't think that would end well and maybe we would be talking revolution. And a good reason to mail in. It doesn't seem like Bannon has the presidents ear so much any more.

    The former White House strategist called for the Trump administration to send Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers to polling sites to prevent noncitizens from voting, citing a debunked conspiracy theory about widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election. “We’re going to have ICE surround the polls come November. We’re not going to sit here and allow you to steal the country again,” he said.

    As stated earlier, mail in is not the answer.
