  Anne Applebaum: "The #KennedyCenter was financially stable until Trump took over: 'In the fiscal year ending in 2024, when the center was led by Pres. Deborah Rutter and a bipartisan board of trustees, it brought in about $40 million more than it spent'." #TrumpMakesEverythingWorse

  Donald Trump will nominate more #SupremeCourt justices in the next two years. Any of the old Supreme Court Justices could die and both Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito are expected to retire. If Democrats win a majority in the Senate, then Trump will be forced to put better people than Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito onto the Supreme Court. This will end Supreme Court approval of Trump's unconstitutional actions that reduce our rights. copy: @renewedresistance@channel.org #WhatIsAtStake #p...

  Many #media organizations criticized Trump for banning Politico, MSNOW, and CNN: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/09/19/us/politics/news-outlets-react-trump-media-ban.html But their words need to be followed by actions: Ron Filipkowski had the best suggestion: "No network should broadcast a single Trump or Vance event, speech or press conference live until his ban targeting specific media companies for their coverage is lifted." copy: @renewedresistance@channel.org #politics #FirstAmendm...

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@RonSupportsYou/117294329348657581 Gen. (Ret.) Mark Hertling said: "Lying about casualties* is the sign of a weak leader."

  New York Times editorial: “Trump’s self-serving pardons are so numerous that public attention can't keep up with them. It is like a pardon industry in which people with White House connections accept payments from wealthy convicts. He pardoned dozens of people convicted of fraud. At least 12 of the pardoned J6 rioters were later charged with other serious crimes, including child molestation, assault, harassment, murder plots and charges related to a vicious dog attack.” copy: @renewedresista...

  Marc Elias: "The Supreme Court promoted democracy. The Court rejected (Trump’s) bid to revive the Postal Service’s rule based on an anti-mail voting executive order. One judge said the order was likely illegal. The Supreme Court agreed. This is a huge win for the pro-democracy movement. The plan to disenfranchise voters won’t be in effect for the midterms. States can mail absentee ballots to millions of Americans. Voters can mail their ballots with the assurance that their votes will count....

  Jay Kuo wrote about oil: "Brent crude is currently trading above $108 a barrel. Consumers are paying roughly 40 percent more at the pump than they were on Feb. 28, the day the U.S. and Israel began the war on Iran. Iran and its proxies now hold meaningful leverage over two of the world’s major oil chokepoints at once: the Strait of Hormuz on one side of the Arabian Peninsula and the Bab el-Mandeb on the other.

  Why did the #IranWar begin? Trump felt happy after kidnapping Maduro from Venezuela and he felt like having another cheap and painless military victory, this time in Iran. Trump did not understand differences between Iran and Venezuela. Trump quickly lost the #IranWar, but the war continues because Trump is unwilling to admit to this big of a mistake. Make the #IranWar a campaign issue, especially because Trump plans to start new wars after the #IranWar ends. copy: @renewedresistance@channel.or...

  Ben Wiker: "Democracy is not a spectator sport." Get involved. My suggestions for ways you can help are: Vote in every election. Encourage other people to vote for Democrats. Boost pro-democracy and pro-Democrat ideas that you agree with. One pro-Democrat idea is for you to recommending specific Democratic Party candidates. My next message will show an example of this idea. copy: @renewedresistance@channel.org #politics #winning

  "Donald Trump’s $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the BBC isn’t going quite as he’d hoped. In response to the suit, the BBC served Trump with extensive discovery over the state of his finances. Then, on Monday, a federal magistrate judge ordered the trust that holds his business empire to start handing over financial records. These are the same records Trump spent his presidency shielding from public view. Whoops": https://statuskuo.substack.com/p/10bil-in-damages-really #lawfare...
