I am surprised Kennedy's name is still on the Kennedy Center building. Changing the name requires Congressional action. Where is the TRO to stop this blatant disregard for the law?

I wonder who would have standing to sue, maybe a board member who tried to vote against the name change as a violation of proper procedure.

When it comes to withholding the video of the second missile strike on September 2 against the two survivors clinging to their capsized boat and waving their arms, if Secretary of War Hegseth has nothing to hide, why is he hiding it?

The Contrarian seems to have forgotten Ukraine.

With so much going on, I understand how it can seem that way. We assure you we have not. Today's interview with Jen and Rep. Hines touches on it. We also recommend our interview with Tim Mak from December 9th, checking in on the state of affairs in Kyiv: https://open.substack.com/pub/contrarian/p/the-inevitable-trumpian-betrayal?utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=web

Thank you for being a Contrarian!

I appreciate your reply. I read Mak transcript; would like to have him more often. The problem I find with The Contrarian is that it is much too much focused on trump, almost as if you were founded to be contrary to him. Let's focus more on policies, elections, and what Cabinet, Congress and judiciary are doing. trump is getting way too much air time. We don't need to give him more.

The article on the elimination of SNAP benefits affects us all was well written but one thing that stands out to me is that as it affects farmers and those in the food production sector is failure to manage food and agriculture properly can lead to waste and loss of money.

It’s peaceful. I’m one lucky Aunt Tifa.

The fraudster MO: Dept of War, Trump Center, Trump ballroom, self enrichment, extortion, endless corruption...The Golden Age. Now Trump's stealing from service members housing assistance to award "warrior bonuses" & severe discipline for those who are not grateful. Can't wait for my tariff dividend! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gDEur_y6Aw

Resist the fraudster authoritarians. #VoteBlue!
