The Washington National Opera (WNO) is taking its final bow and leaving the Trump-Kennedy Center in what one WNO director called the “takeover” of the institution by President Donald Trump.
“Today, the Washington National Opera announced its decision to seek an amicable early termination of its affiliation agreement with the Kennedy Center and resume operations as a fully independent nonprofit entity,” the opera said in a statement to the New York Times.
The company said its board of trustees voted to move all its upcoming performances out of the center’s 2,364-seat Opera House. They intend to find new locations in Washington, DC, but no leases have yet been signed.

President Donald Trump said last week that he was “immediately taking steps to ban large institutional investors from buying more single-family homes” and “will be calling on Congress to codify” the proposal. His advisers need to show him why that’s a bad idea.
Trump promised to “discuss this topic, including further housing and affordability proposals, and more, at my speech in Davos in two weeks.” So there is time to present clear arguments that should convince him to quietly drop the plan.
If we had an audience with the president, we’d first remind him that the government in a free country has no authority to determine who

The O’Keefe Media Group on Tuesday released video of a Secret Service agent assigned to JD Vance leaking sensitive information to an undercover reporter.
The agent at the center of O’Keefe’s latest sting, Tomas Escotto, is a Biden holdover and has only been a US citizen since 2018.
Escotto told the O’Keefe Media Group undercover reporter details about how Vance is surrounded and revealed advanced security procedures.
The Secret Service agent also revealed Vance’s future travel plans and sent images from Air Force Two while he was traveling with Vance.

Social media has become a driver of information, among many other things, but it’s also provided the single greatest argument toward ending women’s suffrage. I’m sorry, but white, crusty, liberal women have killed the case for the 19th Amendment. Should there be a complete and total shutdown of women’s voting rights until we can figure out what’s going on? Maybe. Look, we know what’s going on, to be honest. We killed their hopes of a Hillary Clinton presidency and obliterated Kamala Harris’ shoddy, inept, and overall shambolic 2024 campaign.
With all the whining, ranting, and calls for violence, have you noticed one common theme regarding

Have you ever “taken to the streets” over any issue? Marched in a protest? Chanted whatever some weirdo ordered you to repeat? Maybe, but probably not. The only protests or marches I’ve ever attended were one against war a friend wanted to go to and he didn’t want to drive to DC alone (plus, I’d never been to DC at that point), one I got extra credit for in college involving newspaper strike, and one that was an annual even to “protest” pot laws because we went to meet chicks and get stoned in a crowd – mostly the novelty of it (which is now common).

Ibrahima Diop, the finance boss at Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS), has been placed on administrative leave, Alpha News has learned. Alpha News has reported extensively on Diop and questionable contracts with Frontier Transportation Services, hired by MPS to transport Homeless and Highly Mobile (HHM) students in passenger vans. Additionally, another transportation company under contract with the district was filmed dropping children off at the now-closed Quality "Learing" [sic.] Center -- a moment many believe was staged to make the site appear active. MEISA Transportation Services were recorded outside of the Minneapolis daycare made famous in a Nick Shirley video for misspelling the word "learning."

State Representative Gabby Salinas (D-Memphis) introduced a bill last week that seeks to interfere with the operations of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Tennessee.
House Bill (HB) 1482 would prevent ICE agents from using areas such as public parking lots, vacant lots, public garages, public schools, and religious institution property as a “staging area.”
The bill defines a “staging area” as an “area that is used to assemble, mobilize, and deploy vehicles, equipment, or materials, and related personnel.”
“No child or person should fear being abducted or risk having their family ripped apart when they leave their home,” Salinas said on Facebook. “We are losing friends, neighbors,

Federal investigators have no plans to charge the ICE agent involved in the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good, and the Justice Department won't open a civil rights investigation into the incident from last week in Minneapolis.
The agent fired three shots after Good, 37, accelerated her SUV while he was in front of the car during an immigration enforcement operation that Good and other anti-ICE activists were attempting to obstruct.
The FBI took over the case from local authorities, and continues to review his conduct and physical evidence, including his service weapon. However, sources close to the investigation say the likelihood of criminal charges has decreased, though the decision isn't final.

Rep. Pat Ryan (D-N.Y.) on Monday took a swing at his Democratic congressional colleague Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) over Iran. (snip)The president’s saying he’s now considering taking military action inside Iran, do you want the U.S. to get involved like that?” Bolduan asked Fetterman. “Sure, absolutely. And now, if it continues to make more sense, absolutely. I think I was the only Democrat that fully supported our strike of their Iranian nuclear facilities last year. And now, by then, without those kinds of strikes, Iran could have acquired a nuclear bomb,” the Keystone State senator responded. Key national security officials with the Trump administration—

State Representative Aftyn Behn (D-Nashville) announced on Monday that she will not run for Congress in 2026, citing the “unimaginable toll” her special election campaign took on her health last year.
Behn made the announcement less than two months following her December 2 concession speech following her loss to U.S. Representative Matt Van Epps (R-TN-07), when she suggested she may challenge the newly elected Republican during the 2026 midterm elections. Both candidates ran last year to fill the seat vacated by former U.S. Representative Mark Green upon his retirement.
“Running for this race was really tough, and after much consideration, I’ve decided to run only for reelection to my State House seat,”
