Workers were tearing President Donald Trump's name off the Kennedy Center on Friday as onlookers nearby chanted and cheered.

Thousands tuned in on livestreams from ABC 7, WUSA9, Reuters, Fox 10, the Associated Press, Forbes, and MS NOW to watch it happen in real time. A crowd assembled outside the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts as workers erected scaffolding on the façade. A judge had killed the Trump board's last-ditch legal attempt to stop the removal just hours earlier, leaving a midnight deadline intact.

Amid the ongoing peace talks between Washington and Tehran, Iranian negotiators have recently enlisted the help of “senior psychologists” to help them navigate what they believe to be a pressing issue involving President Donald Trump, investigative journalist Jeremy Scahill claimed Friday, citing Iranian sources.

“A couple of weeks ago, the Iranian side added senior psychologists to their negotiating team to review the communications that they were going to be sending to the mediators to give to Trump,” Scahill said during an appearance on the podcast “Breaking Points.”

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson delivered a withering dissent Thursday in a little-noticed Supreme Court decision that once again saw the 6-3 conservative majority rule appear to rule against Congress's clear intent, prompting two legal experts to sound alarms about the court's apparent disdain for the legislative branch.

In FS Credit v. Saba Capital, Justice Amy Coney Barrett wrote the majority opinion, which weakened a statute designed to protect investors by preventing them from suing when certain funds break the law. Barrett dismissed the notion that Congress intended to allow injured parties to sue under the statute — despite lawmakers stating they wanted courts to recognize such a right.

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.

A federal judge ruled last month that the renaming was flatly illegal. 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.

President Donald Trump is poised to celebrate his 80th birthday this Sunday with an unprecedented Ultimate Fighting Championship bout at the White House, but according to Zeteo, the president is still musing about expanding his birthday celebrations to a national scale.

“As the birthday boy gears up for his party, we feel compelled to remind you of a remarkably sad fact: Yes, President Trump really does want to make his birthday a federal holiday,” Zeteo’s Asawin Suebsaeng wrote in the outlet’s report published on Friday.

A suspicious judge on Friday blocked President Donald Trump's slush fund indefinitely.

U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema said she doesn't believe the $1.776 billion “anti-weaponization fund" is truly dead — despite his administration's suggestions — and issued an order blocking it indefinitely, reported CNN.

Prominent conservative commentator Tucker Carlson hurled a shock allegation at President Donald Trump on Thursday involving the federal investigation into Thomas Crooks, the man accused of attempting to assassinate the president ahead of the 2024 election.

Carlson was interviewed Thursday by Mario Nawal, a Lebanese-Australian entrepreneur and prominent podcast host, during which he claimed that former FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino had told him last December that the federal probe into Crooks had been “shut down” — and by whom.

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.
