American Conversations: Marc Elias - YouTube [42:10]
Streamed live on Thur Dec 4, 2025
I interviewed Marc Elias of Democracy Docket about the case he’s arguing before the Supreme Court (Dec 09, 2025): National Republican Senatorial Committee v. Federal Election Commission, which you’ll probably see referred to in the media with the alphabet soup name of “NRSC v. FEC.” Elias explains why this case about funding elections is so important and how it fits into a larger assault on democracy.
On the day in February that President Donald Trump took over the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, his new board ousted Deborah Rutter, the longtime president of the institution. She gathered her staff to offer a hopeful farewell. That evening, she welcomed other leaders to her home to mourn.
Trump fired every member of the board of trustees not appointed by him, including its chair, the private-equity billionaire David Rubenstein, who had donated more than $100 million to the center. Trump’s newly fashioned board included several White House aides, second lady Usha Vance, and Fox News hosts Laura Ingraham and Maria Bartiromo. Other top executives were shown the door alongside Rutter.
In July, Rutter took a job at Duke as vice provost for the arts. Three months later, the university received $25 million to support arts programming and a new arts center from an alumnus.
The gift was from David Rubenstein.

Trump plots a presidential library to rule them all
The president wants the ‘bigliest’ permanent shrine to his two terms in office and has been offered land to host it near his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida
Note: The meglomaniac idiot wants the US gov't to spend a billion dollars for an airplane to be outfitted to a temporary AF-1 so it can be situated by his presidential library at the end of his term in exchange for favors to Quatir that basically line Trumps pockets and the plane was not given to Trump it was to be a loan. The plane must be nuclear blast proof, carry rocket deterrents, possibly carry missiles, loads of top secret electronics and be able to be refilled in mid air. Top secret changes. As President he would have been shown that and know that. The guy is a fucking idiot, if he is not working for Putin he sure makes his behavior indistinguishable from that of a Russian lacky, we already know about his money laundering for the Russian mob, tax evasion, phoney charities, and dismantling of the US Gov't.
