## Resource

Amid a series of legal setbacks for the administration, a judge temporarily blocks the president's $1.8 billion so-called 'anti-weaponization' fund. Plus, a judge orders Trump's name to be taken down from the Kennedy Center in 2 weeks. And new analysis from Moody's shows the average American household has spent $450 on gas and energy due to the Iran war. David Rohde, Ron Insana, Anthony Fisher, and Ahmed Baba join The 11th Hour this Friday night.
