Judge blocks renaming, closure of Kennedy Center

Judge blocks renaming, closure of Kennedy Center

President Donald Trump’s effort to rebrand the Kennedy Center in his own name is illegal, a federal judge ruled Friday.

U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper said the rebranding of the institution that honors President John F. Kennedy as the “Trump-Kennedy Center” violated the clear language of federal law that requires the building to honor “President Kennedy and President Kennedy alone.”

BREAKING: we just won our Kennedy Center case!    

Both the renaming & the closure of the Kennedy Center are enjoined  

Kudos to our wonderful client @RepBeatty & my colleagues @DDAction_& Washington Litigation Group    

This is a 1-2 punch against Trump's corruption - Norm Eisen

The World Is A Safer Place Without Trump

• Trump Announces He’s Now Meeting in Situation Room for Final Decision on Iran
• ICE Agent Charged in Minneapolis Shooting Arrested
• Trump’s Board of Peace fund empty, donations routed to JPMorgan account lacking 'transparency requirements'
• Bondi defends DOJ’s handling of Epstein files to members of Congress
• Freed Gaza flotilla activists allege Israeli abuse including rape

I saw it with my own eyes: moldy food. People needing immediate medical attention who can’t see a doctor for over a week or who can’t get their medicine.

The fact is that the Trump Administration can't get their story straight about what's going on. Delaney Hall should be closed NOW. - Rep. Frank Pallone

He Broke It, And Now He's Gonna Buy It!
According to a Thursday report from The New York Times, the draft framework being discussed by U.S. and Iranian negotiators would pave the way for a massive $300 billion “reconstruction program” for Iran as part of the broader agreement to end the conflict.

I can't believe 77M f--king morons put us through this sh-t twice. - Allyson

Republican Shenanigans

• James Comer Pressed by Epstein Survivors Outside Pam Bondi Deposition: ‘We Want Justice’
• Louisiana Legislature passes new GOP-favored map after Supreme Court ruling
• Cornyn Raises Eyebrows With Scorpion and Frog Tweet: ‘Definitely Not a Metaphor’
• Trump Official Rips Martina McBride After She Pulls Out of Freedom 250 Concert
• MTG Goes Full Charlie Kirk Conspiracy Theorist After Vacation With Thomas Massie
• Katie Miller Weaponizes Mental Health To Push An Outrageous Claim About Democrats

Quick question 

Republicans do know that holding a huge outdoor event on the White House lawn totally invalidates their arguments for a ballroom 

Correct? - William Bueker

What Grand Jury Would Indict Her?
Media reports that the Department of Justice (DOJ) is investigating E. Jean Carroll — who won an $83 million lawsuit against President Trump in 2024 — is creating a major headache for Senate Republicans, who will likely be forced to defend the controversial probe on the Senate floor next month.

The Trump Dump

A Washington, D.C., preservation group has filed court documents alleging that the Trump administration has dumped loads of toxic debris from the White House’s East Wing demolition at a local golf course...According to the filing, shared by MeidasTouch’s Scott MacFarlane on Friday, “results from Defendants’ own tests on the debris pile (which now substantially surpasses Defendants’ original assurance of 30,000 cubic yards) show concerning levels of arsenic, hydrocarbons, and other dangerous pollutants – including lead.”
