Judge orders Trump’s name off the Kennedy Center

A federal judge looked at the Kennedy Center and said: this is a performing arts venue, not a luggage tag. The ruling blocks a planned closure for renovations and says the board broke the law by putting Trump’s name on a building Congress named for John F. Kennedy. Physical signs, digital references, official materials — the order says take it all down within two weeks. That is the rare Washington scandal where the legal question and the visual metaphor are the same: who gets to put their name on the front of the show?
