A judge on Friday ordered ‌the removal of President Donald Trump’s name from the Kennedy Center for ⁠the Performing Arts, ruling that the iconic Washington venue cannot be renamed without an act of Congress.

U.S. District Judge ‌Christopher ⁠Cooper in Washington directed the Trump administration to take down all ⁠physical signage bearing Trump’s name and to ⁠eliminate any references to a “Trump Kennedy ⁠Center” from official materials within 14 days.

It could absolutely function orders of magnitude better. They would have to stop spending 90% or however much time they spend fund raising and meeting with lobbyists.

Stop making decisions/voting on proposals that are hundreds or thousands of pages and voting on it after a day or 2 of review.

Completely remove "riders" from said proposals so that only the issue at hand is being voted on an not unrelated bullshit they want to push through without anyone noticing in those hundreds of pages that no one reads all of.

And for fuck sakes disallow anyone other than the representative who brings it to the table to actually author the god damned thing. Fucking parasites
