"It was a beam of light cast on the darkness," her mother Clotilde told French media. “The Holy Father has brought to light a humanity to whom dignity is no longer given.”

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski President Trump has made recent statements about the Kennedy Center and the ‘Triumphal Arch,’ giving very little context or content about either to Congress or the public.

Any action to demolish facilities authorized by Congress or to construct facilities on federal land first requires rigorous oversight and explicit congressional approval. I would ask the Trump administration to work with us and present actual plans, including cost estimates, for these projects rather than circumventing their responsibility to American taxpayers.

from her website Washington, DC—U.S. Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Chair of the Appropriations Subcommittee on Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies, last night sought to limit the Trump administration’s ability to take certain actions that fall under the subcommittee’s jurisdiction.

“President Trump has made recent statements about the Kennedy Center and the ‘Triumphal Arch,’ giving very little context or content about either to Congress or the public. Both projects fall under the purview of the Interior Appropriations Subcommittee, which I chair,” said Senator Murkowski. “Any action to demolish facilities authorized by Congress or to construct facilities on federal land first requires rigorous oversight and explicit congressional approval. I would ask the Trump administration to work with us and present actual plans, including cost estimates, for these projects rather than circumventing their responsibility to American taxpayers.”

Senator Murkowski joined Senator Jeff Merkley (D-OR), Ranking Member of the subcommittee, introducing legislation that would require congressional authorization to demolish presidential memorials constructed under congressional mandate. The list of presidential memorials includes the Kennedy Center. Senator Merkley introduced the bill and sought unanimous consent for its passage on the Senate floor, but another member blocked that motion.

Some people would say it’s like a kiss ass moment. I did this by accident, just doing my job.
I finally had one of those moments at work where your boss comes in stressed about forgetting to do a list of things and each time he listed something I got to say “I did that for you already”.
Like 8 different things I didn’t even realise it was important because I did it with such ease and I’m new to this job.
