## Resource

Bill Maher took home the Mark Twain Prize at the Kennedy Center — but the night was charged with political punchlines, especially with a Trump impersonator in the house and the lingering shadow of Trump’s failed bid to rename and seize control of the venue. A legal battle still rages over the building’s name and closure, with a judge awaiting next month’s update on how long a tarp will cover the spot where Trump’s name once stood — a bizarre, ever-present reminder of the drama. Amid the chaos, Maher embraced the moment, rejecting “groupthink” from all sides, proving that even in the messiest times, humor finds its way — and sometimes, it’s the only thing that keeps us laughing.
