## Resource

The Kennedy Center is locked in a high-stakes legal battle over whether to keep “Trump” in its name, after a federal judge ruled the renaming was unconstitutional — the center is a congressional memorial to JFK. Despite the court’s order to revert to “Kennedy Center” by June 12, the Trump-appointed board is fighting back, seeking a pause to keep the name change intact, arguing it’s vital for fundraising and legacy. The drama began when the board voted to add Trump’s name in December, quickly rolling out signage and ditching his branding from digital platforms — all while Trump himself paused any promised renovations. With the center’s finances and identity hanging in the balance, this legal tug-of-war is far from over. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
