Workers began tearing Donald Trump's name off the Kennedy Center Friday, carrying out a federal court order his own lawyers had scrambled overnight to block.

U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper said Trump's hand-picked board never had the authority to put the president's name on the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts — because Congress created it and only Congress gets to rename it. The lawsuit was filed by Rep. Joyce Beatty, an Ohio Democrat who sits on the center's board as an ex officio member.

A court filing Friday documented the wreckage of President Donald Trump's Kennedy Center vanity project — highlighting fleeing artists, cratering ticket sales, and an Honors broadcast nobody watched.

The midnight deadline to scrub Trump's name from the Kennedy Center was still ticking Friday. Rep. Joyce Beatty, an Ohio Democrat and ex officio board member — meaning she holds her seat by virtue of her congressional position, not a Trump appointment — had just fired back at Trump's lawyers, who'd asked the judge to freeze his own order.

The father of a slain white teen used racial slurs against his son's killer in a podcast appearance as soon as a judge lifted a gag order in the murder case.
