What’s stopping President Trump from tearing down the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts is ongoing litigation, according to Rep. Joyce Beatty, an ex officio board member who brought the lawsuit. The Ohio Democratic lawmaker joined “The Weekend” to discuss the latest court developments. She said Trump cannot simply knock down the building for his planned renovation as he did with the White House East Wing because of the lawsuit. “I’m a little more hopeful with this because we are in court,” she said.
Through a series of executive orders, the President has sought to stop what he claims to be widespread voter fraud - a claim unsupported by facts. A federal judge found that the White House’s rule that would make the USPS act as electoral oversight and force it not to deliver mail-in ballots in states that do not share their voter data was “likely unconstitutional.” The President – who himself votes by mail – has called the process, “mailed-in cheating.” “If vote-by-mail is inherently corrupt and inherently cheating,” says California Attorney General Rob Bonta, “then he is inherently corrupt and inherently a cheater because he votes by mail time and time again.”
Wild horses have been legally protected by Congress for over half a century. But many of them may be getting sold into slaughter under Trump, according to a New York Times investigation. Ranchers can buy these horses for “pennies on the dollar” and then sell them for “huge margin” into slaughter, says Spectrum News 1 journalist Ryan Thompson. “We don’t believe that the current program upholds enough protections for wild horses to not hit this loophole,” says Patricia Miller of American Wild Horse Conservation.
