New #KennedyCenter board officially elects #Trump as chair.

Trump’s *refashioned* [plants] board of trustees voted him chairman in a meeting Wednesday afternoon.

And in the most unsurprising turn of events, President #DeborahRutter told staff she was leaving the institution.

I don’t want to go to sleep because that means waking up tomorrow.

I will not watch the inauguration tomorrow. Donald Trump is a liar, a con man, a sexual predator, an insurrectionist, and an absolute piece of shit. I am disgusted that people in this country were stupid enough to put him back in office. He is not my president. I wish him nothing but misery and failure.

Monday is not real. There will be no Monday this week. Monday has been cancelled. New phone, who dis?

The choice of #Hegseth, a dedicated supporter of Trump, is outside the norm of the traditional choice for the post.

And this is why I’m taking a break:

#Republicans inch toward ‘#trifecta’ control of #House, #Senate, #WhiteHouse

Republicans are getting closer to winning the House, although several races in California & Western states have yet to be called. That could lead to total #GOPcontrol of Congress.

#DOJ officials are evaluating how to wind down the two federal #criminal cases against #Trump before he takes office to comply w/longstanding department policy that a sitting president can’t be prosecuted, per sources.
