## Resource

After a five-month legal battle, the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts has reverted to its original name, removing the controversial “The Donald J. Trump and” signage following a federal judge’s ruling that the renaming was illegal. The center, which had hoped for a weather-delayed extension, completed the removal by early Saturday morning — though a tarp still covered the spot. The lawsuit, filed by Rep. Joyce Beatty, argued the name change violated congressional authority, and when the appeals court denied the center’s final delay request, crowds erupted in cheers. While the center claims compliance and worries about fundraising, Beatty’s team dismissed those concerns. The judge made clear: only Congress can change the Kennedy Center’s name — and now it’s back to honoring President Kennedy. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
