More acts cancel after The Kennedy Center's illegal renaming to "Dear Leader and Someone Else" Memorial Center.
Tr^mp crony Grenell claims the musicians won't see their work as transcendent. Musicians point out that the administration is tearing down non-white creations, acting as aggressor.

The report called on #Congress [good luck] to create laws requiring transitions to disclose the names of #donors who give over a threshold amount as well as to publicly account for spending by the transition, which it said would “create public scrutiny that encourages the transition team to police itself tightly against conflicts of interest.”

Last week, that group released a report on the #Trump transition that criticized it for “significant departures from established norms,” noting that it started late & relied heavily on a handful of outside think tanks, chiefly the #HeritageFoundation & the #AmericaFirstPolicyInstitute, to develop policy & hire personnel for the new administration.

“They claimed they were saving taxpayers money, but what they were doing was hiding the ball about who is buying the #government,” said Max Stier, the president of the nonpartisan nonprofit Partnership for Public Service, which promotes best practices in the federal government & runs the Center for Presidential Transition.

#Watchdog groups had raised alarm about the lack of #transparency surrounding the most recent #Trump transition, noting that by not revealing who was contributing—& how much they had chipped in—it was nearly impossible for the public to know about #ConflictsOfInterest or #PayToPlay arrangements.

Prior administrations, including Trump’s in 2016, signed that agreement, which in addition to the disclosure obligation caps individual donations at $5,000 & bars #foreign contributions. By declining to sign, the second #Trump transition sidestepped those strictures & presumably could accept far larger contributions.

At least 3 of the entries on the list matched names of Washington #lobbyists, but their identities could not be confirmed. Lobbyists with those names did not respond to requests for comment Tuesday evening. Because the list did not include addresses, hometowns or professions, it was not possible to confirm the identity of many other individuals described as #donors.

“President Trump greatly appreciates his supporters & donors; however, unlike politicians of the past, he is not bought by anyone & does what’s in the best interest of the country,” Danielle Alvarez, a spox for the #Trump transition, ridiculously said in a statement. “Any suggestion otherwise is simply false.”

A full year after making a public pledge to do so, #Trump disclosed a list of #donors who helped #pay for his transition to #power.
The list of 46 individuals…includes #billionaires like #JeffYass & #PaulSinger as well as several who went on to be #appointees in the current #administration.
In total, the transition said it raised slightly >$14M, but did not specify how much each donor contributed. It said $13.7M was spent on the transition.

On August 7, #Trump signed an #executive #order tightening control of the #federal #grant #funding process, requiring #political #appointees to sign off on each grant. The order also instructs agencies to formalize the ability to cancel awarded grants at any time if they're considered to "no longer advance agency priorities." Because politicians are experts on #research, right? Wrong! https://arstechnica.com/science/2025/08/new-executive-order-puts-all-grants-under-political-control/

Hearing a lot of stuff like "well Republican Senators won't put up with Trump's BS, look at what some of them are saying about his nominees"
Like, fucks sake, people, the sole meaningful words that Senate Republicans have ever spoken about Trump are "not guilty". Everything else is in service to those words, and any "opposition" is a show to keep their constituents from understanding that their elected officials are in lockstep with the orange fuck.
Trump is appointing a man to OMB that pretty much wants to tear up the Constitution & give Trump Martial Law.

"The proposal is being promoted by a small group including #BorisEpshteyn,a top #legal #adviser to Trump who was #influential in its #development, according to the three people."
#Bizarre #Project2025 #training #video tells #conservatives to stop saying “#cisgender”.
#Fascist #videos provide #detailed #instructions on what these #appointees and #staffers should #believe and how they should #act, including having a strict #allegiance to the #HeritageFoundation’s #policy #stances—including its #opposing #abortion and opposition to #regulating #fossilfuel #companies to #fight #climatechange—with #repercussions for those who #refuse to #comply.
#Trump intends to erase any distinction between his #agenda and those of his #appointees.
#Trump intends to hold the door wide-open for #venalPublicOffice.
#Trump intends to shield ALL decisions and actions of his loyalists behind “official acts”
There is NO WAY that the #SupremeCourt #PresidentialImmunity decision and the exemption from #CorruptionLaw for tips, gifts, and payments for #officialActs was NOT informed by #Project2025
