Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s sister, Kerry Kennedy, unloaded on the Trump administration on CNN Tuesday for their move to shut down the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts — the latest installment of a lengthy saga that has seen the president and his allies assert control over the storied institution.

That move, ostensibly to prepare for renovations, came just an hour after a federal judge rejected the Kennedy Center board's latest attempt to sneak Trump's name onto the landmark.

President Donald Trump erupted at a Democratic lawmaker during a chaotic Kennedy Center board call on Tuesday.

That’s according to multiple media outlets, which reported that the president, who installed himself as board chairman, screamed at Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-OH) before the panel voted to shut down the famed performing arts venue.

A U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer charged with raping women at gunpoint took the stand in his own defense and called one alleged attack "a good workout."

Luis Uribe, 45, took the witness stand Tuesday at the Dirksen U.S. Courthouse, Chicago Sun-Times reporter Jon Seidel reported from the courtroom. Federal prosecutors allege Uribe used his gun and badge to sexually assault and rob four Chinese women at hotels in Schaumburg and Naperville in 2022, when he was stationed at O'Hare International Airport.

The winter surge of 3,000 federal immigration agents to Minnesota eventually led to over 2,300 immigrants leaving the country, according to updated federal data from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement obtained by the Deportation Data Project.

The figure is a modest increase from the Reformer’s previous tally of 1,760 people who were deported or left the country after being arrested by ICE in the surge. The new total includes 2,019 immigrants who were explicitly recorded as being deported, as well as 315 immigrants who left the country after being arrested but under circumstances that are unclear from just looking at the data.

Conservative commentator Scott Jennings found himself outnumbered on a CNN segment as three panelists unloaded on President Donald Trump’s new effort to place his name on the Kennedy Center.

Republican pollster Kristen Soltis Anderson, former Obama adviser David Axelrod and former “Meet the Press” host Chuck Todd challenged Jennings during a heated discussion Tuesday on “The Arena with Kasie Hunt.”

Republican Michigan Senate candidate Mike Rogers is once again trying to dodge scrutiny over his deep congressional ties to the opioid industry — a record that helped sink his last Senate run and is now resurfacing as he faces Democrat Abdul El-Sayed.

During his time representing Michigan's 8th District in the early 2000s, Rogers built much of his legislative identity around a bill backed heavily by pharmaceutical interests, Drop Site News reported. His signature legislation, the National Pain Care Policy Act, first introduced in 2003, would have poured federal money into new research infrastructure and a public messaging campaign built around expanding, not restricting, access to opioid treatment, all while the national overdose death toll kept climbing.

A group of reporters is pushing back against restrictive filming rules at the U.S. Capitol after journalists were prevented from recording Sen. Mitch McConnell’s (R-KY) return to the Senate.

Multiple reporters sought permission Monday to film a brief statement from the Kentucky Republican but were turned away by Senate Rules Committee staffers, according to the Radio & Television Correspondents’ Association and the Standing Committee of Correspondents.

Attorney General Todd Blanche's press conference on Tuesday reiterated the Trump administration's official position that the conflict in Iran is not a "war" — but this is absurd, Col. Cedric Leighton told CNN's Boris Sanchez.

Blanche, noted Sanchez, makes these claims "despite the deaths of 18 U.S. service members, hundreds of others injured," as well as $28 billion spent on the effort already per new Congressional Budget Office numbers. "That doesn't count bases that have been destroyed in the Middle East, which the Pentagon hasn't given an estimate of the cost of. And also whether or not they would actually repair them. So you, hearing the Attorney General say this, what's your reaction?"
