Nancy Buffum-Herman @BuffumHerman

@WalshFreedom He didn't do it alone. He's one person in power enabled by an entire political party, 2 branches of government willing to give up their own power for a sick ideology, heads of corporate America driven by greed, and Putin, Putin, Putin.

No matter what he calls the ballroom, it must come down. No matter what he calls the golden arch, it must come down. He does not have the legal authority to build either one. Both, if built, must come down.

Wow!! JFK FUNDED the Kennedy Center himself! "Beatty has served on the Kennedy Center Board since 2019 when she was appointed by then Speaker Nancy Pelosi. When Trump came to power in January 2025, he filled the Board with Trump sycophants and even named himself the Chairman. Since he couldn’t remove Beatty, he had his Kennedy Center Board literally try to silence her at the key meeting in December 2025 discussing renaming the Kennedy Center after Trump. At that meeting, Beatty was joining via phone. She soon realized her comments and objections could not be heard because Trump’s team had muted her. From there, the Board voted to rename the Kennedy Center after Trump. The next day Trump’s press secretary had the audacity to say that vote to name the Center after Trump was unanimous. Just four days later, she filed a lawsuit against Trump—with the legal assistance of Democracy Defenders—to reverse the name change. The lawsuit argued that the Center was named by Act of Congress and only Congress can change the name. She is 100% correct. As a brief history lesson, in 1958, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed bipartisan legislation creating a National Cultural Center in the nation’s capital. However, it lacked funding and the project languished. That was until President John F. Kennedy committed in 1962 to raise $30 million to construct it. Kennedy even organized a star-studded 1962 televised fundraiser featuring, among others, conductor and composer Leonard Bernstein, poet Robert Frost, musician Harry Belafonte and 7-year-old cellist Yo‑Yo Ma. At that event, Kennedy spoke powerfully of the importance of the arts, “As a great democratic society, we have a special responsibility to the arts, for art is the great democrat calling forth creative genius from every sector of society, disregarding race or religion or wealth or color.” The Center was never intended to be named after Kennedy but after he was assassinated in November 1963, Congress and President Lyndon Johnson enacted legislation to honor him. The Center was then designated as a living memorial to President John F. Kennedy recognizing his devotion to the advancement of the performing arts in the United States." This Black woman—who Trump tried to silence—is why the Kennedy Center is still standing! deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/this-black-w…

This is amazing: Kerry Kennedy, niece of President John F. Kennedy, is organizing a rally tonight where people will literally join hands and surround the Kennedy Center to protect it from Trump's demolition plans. Do you stand with Kerry Kennedy? #HandsAroundTheKennedyCenter

@DashDobrofsky It's a win-win. Let's make this happen.

@HormuzLetter Can we send some real negotiators to set up this deal? Giving up trump and Netanyahu seems reasonable to me.

@DougWahl1 I live in Bills country and we love our Canadian neighbors, not to mention Lake Ontario. Go Bills!

While everyone is talking about switching to Map Quest, nobody seems to be talking about the fact that Trump has violated the 1974 treaty with six native Nations by renaming something that was established as part of a said treaty. You know, the one signed by George Washington.

I go to bed tonight knowing, there was at least one man, one American hero, who showed us the courage, that this bullshit needs to stop. My hero is about to be charged for crimes that’ll put him behind bars for 10 year and he knew it. That is American courage! 💙🇺🇸

16 years ago Google pulled its search engine out of China because they wouldn’t submit to an authoritarian government. Today, they’re renaming lakes to appease one.

@googlemaps You mean like Lake Ontario? Put the correct name back if you don't want to look like a fool. You know his smalldickenergy EO will be reversed the minute a Democratic president takes office.

@angelshalagina I am grateful for you. Every day when I see your posts I feel hope. I am embarrassed that my country has abandoned the people of Ukraine and hope our elections will bring back sanity and humanity. Stay safe. You are loved.

Thanks to large accounts doing what they usually do, every person on Twitter knows who Darline Graham is. Even by criticizing her, they've made her famous. Yet few outside South Carolina know her Democratic challenger, @AnnieAndrewsMD. Large accounts, PLEASE change your focus.

Handing Jamie Raskin the gavel if Democrats take the House would instantly elevate the leadership. Few lawmakers match his constitutional expertise, legislative stamina, and ability to frame complex political battles with clarity and force.🤔

Thirty-five years ago, Ukraine restored its independence! Happy holiday, great people of a great country! Happy Independence Day of Ukraine! Glory to Ukraine! 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

There.’s nothing like a moment of brutal honesty from @JonathanPieNews 🎥 TikTok - vm.tiktok.com/ZN8NNKVU5/

BREAKING: HELL YEAH! CNN boldly defends their reporter Kristen Holmes after the White House brought up her kids to smear her after she dared ask Trump about his alleged mistress. This is how you stand up to this demented bully... “Kristen Holmes is one of the most respected and accomplished journalists covering the White House. This afternoon, she did her job and asked the President of the United States a tough, relevant, and newsworthy question on behalf of the American people," CNN said in an official statement. "Public officials are free to challenge reporting they disagree with, but personal attacks on journalists for asking questions are beneath the office and inconsistent with the principles of a free press. We stand firmly behind Kristen and reject these attacks in the strongest possible terms," the network added. Yesterday, Holmes asked Trump about a viral speech from Senator Jon Ossoff in which he stated that Trump "doesn’t want to do the job” and would rather “build his ballroom and travel with Natalie on their apparently defenseless flying palace gifted by the emir of Qatar." The reference to Harp — the "executive assistant" who many are now speculating might be Trump's mistress — enraged the President and he lashed out at Holmes, repeatedly telling her to be "quiet," calling her "disrespectful" and "fake news." The memo went out to MAGA land to back up Trump's attack, and the official White House Rapid Response account on X targeted Holmes, writing: "@KristenhCNN: Someday, your children will come across your disgusting and inhumane question. They will be sickened and embarrassed to have a parent be so callous and vindictive. It’s quite troubling." We commend CNN for standing up in the face of this disgusting smear campaign against an upstanding reporter. There is really only one big takeaway here: reporters need to start asking more questions about Natalie Harp. Please ❤️ and share to urge the press to ask more questions about Natalie!

Steve Schmidt, who ran John McCain's 2008 campaign for president, was interviewed on MSNOW. In response to a very general question regarding the Trump presidency, Mr. Schmidt spoke for two minutes and gave the most insightful and brutally honest response of what the Trump presidency has done to our great country: "Donald Trump has been the worst president this country has ever had. And, I don't say that hyperbolically. He is. But he is a consequential president. And, he has brought this country in three short years to a place of weakness that is simply unimaginable if you were pondering where we are today from the day where Barack Obama left office. And, there were a lot of us on that day who were deeply skeptical and very worried about what a Trump presidency would be. But this is a moment of unparalleled national humiliation, of weakness.” "When you listen to the President, these are the musings of an imbecile. An idiot. And I don't use those words to name call. I use them because they are the precise words of the English language to describe his behavior. His comportment. His actions. We've never seen a level of incompetence, a level of ineptitude so staggering on a daily basis by anybody in the history of the country whose ever been charged with substantial responsibilities.” "It's just astonishing that this man is president of the United States. The man, the con man, from New York City. Many bankruptcies, failed businesses, a reality show, that branded him as something that he never was. A successful businessman. Well, he's the President of the United States now, and the man who said he would make the country great again. And he's brought death, suffering, and economic collapse on truly an epic scale. And, let's be clear. This isn't happening in every country around the world. This place. Our place. Our home. Our country. The United States. We are the epicenter. We are the place where you're the most likely to die from this disease. We're the ones with the most shattered economy. And we are, because of the fool that sits in the Oval Office behind the Resolute Desk." @SteveSchmidtSES r/t Ron Tipton
