Heartbreaking description of the pointless, thoughtless damage being done to the Kennedy Center. It was such an important part of life in Washington, and is now being destroyed for no reason

Reagan’s OMB Director:
I think it may be a first, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Trump is the first President of the United States who is mentally ill.
We are proud to work with @deciderdc.bsky.social and @govacctproj.bsky.social to find pro-bono support for whistleblowers. Reach out if we can get you connected.
I can watch this all day.
I wanna point out something serious. The admin has been complaining about Iran winning the information war.
This same administration shut down Voice of America, and other information operations the US govt does.
It’s a self goal. Actions have consequences
BREAKING: Donald Trump meets privately with Kash Patel and Pete Hegseth to assure them their jobs are secure, amidst swirling rumors that they may be the next cabinet members to be fired.

A D.C. Circuit panel stayed the part of Judge Lamberth's Voice of America order that ordered USAGM employees back to work, until they can review the appeal. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
NEW: A fresh lawsuit from veteran Voice of America journalists alleges @KariLake put propaganda on the network's broadcasts.
My story for NPR:

BREAKING: our new federal lawsuit was just filed to stop illegal Trump administration censorship & propaganda at Voice of America
We document the damage this is doing globally including re: Iran war
With GREAT clients & partners we @democracydefendersfund.org are taking action
Comparing the Democrats to a country he’s bombing. This is authoritarian demagoguery. If a Republican doesn’t denounce this, s/he is enabling it.
BREAKING: Judge Lamberth — not the DC Circuit — gets rid of the March 23 deadline for back to work for Voice of America and related USAGM employees, ordering instead for a phased plan to go into effect, with 70 people being onboarded a week.
Holy shit. Even for Trump this is bad. bsky.app/profile/acyn...
FREEDOM!
that's what I heard when I read this. it's time for the Kari Lake's of the US to sit down and shut up themselves.
VOA is as American as baseball, apple pie and George Carlin..
Judge rebukes Kari Lake by ordering Voice of America staffers back to work : NPR share.google/kRNcqspzIizJ...
CNN - A federal judge said Tuesday that the Trump administration must let more than 1,000 sidelined Voice of America employees return to work by next week. www.cnn.com/2026/03/17/m...
File under: Kari Lake, tales of woe
Trump tried to dismantle Voice of America.
Silence a global news network.
1,000 journalists sidelined for a year.
Now ordered back.
Power over law doesn’t hold.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💙
This was always going to happen: Trump, and the Supreme Court, turned DOJ into an extension of the president's will. Now, judges trust DOJ about as far as they can throw it.
The immunity decision and unitary executive theory breed corruption and ineffectiveness.

The rule of law has triumphed!
In a major victory for federal workers, a federal judge ruled that Kari Lake had illegally served as Acting CEO of USAGM, nullifying her actions, like laying off hundreds of journalists.
We are privileged to represent our courageous clients. Read their story now! ⬇️
A judge has canceled mass firings at Voice of America after finding that Kari Lake was illegally serving as the CEO of the United States Agency for Global Media.
This is a major victory for AFSCME, our allies, and federal workers who defend democracy. www.afscme.org/press/releas...

As Kari Lake Sought to Shutter Voice of America, Parent Agency Rebuffed Auditors www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/u...
A remarkable rebuke of Kari Lake by Judge Royce C. Lamberth today: He has ruled in favor of Voice of America employees and nullified months of actions taken by Lake at the US Agency for Global Media, including mass layoffs. The plaintiffs say they feel "vindicated and deeply grateful" >>>
This is a major victory for those suing Kari Lake and USAGM, coming a year after the ruthless destruction of the Voice of America, a beacon of US public diplomacy as an independent broadcaster in nearly 50 languages. Only a façade remains in a few languages, pumping out administration propaganda.
A federal judge in DC rules that Kari Lake was not lawfully appointed and that actions she took as the claimed head of USAGM "shall have no force or effect," including last August's RIFs at the Voice of America.
Voice of America’s recent Iran coverage hardly mentions Reza Pahlavi, the country’s best-known dissident. Some critics are accusing it of censorship.
My latest for @washingtonpost.com:

Any Republican voter who STILL cannot see the most destructive, self-obsessed, anti-American political leader in U.S. history is either willfully blind, brainwashed or Donald Trump. ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️
The murder of Renee Good by ICE has shocked the nation.
The President is deploying his own personal armed thugs into the streets of America.
In all my years, I've never seen anything like it. (ft. W. Kamau Bell)
