WATCH: Workers finally tear Donald Trump's name off Kennedy Center
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."Congress gave the Kennedy Center its name, and only Congress can change it," Cooper wrote in his ruling, giving the administration 14 days to strip Trump's name from the building.Trump's board had voted in December 2025 to rename the iconic performing arts venue, and workers bolted his name to the facade overnight — without a congressional vote and without public input.Friday was the deadline to take it back down. Trump's lawyers tried to run out the clock, arguing the removal would be "incredibly confusing for the public" and a waste of money if the name eventually goes back up. The Department of Justice filed a notice of appeal Thursday night. Trump's name had already been scrubbed from the center's website and social media pages earlier this week. After the original court ruling, Trump took to social media to vent. "Unless I am free to do what I do better than anyone else, bring this Institution back, physically, financially, and artistically, I have no interest in continuing what could only be a hopeless journey into 'NEVER NEVER LAND,'" he wrote.

'Take it down!' Crowd electric as workers tear Trump's name off Kennedy Center
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.Then the chanting started."Take it down!" — 15 times in a row. The crowd exploded into applause and cheers.About a minute passed."Take it down!" — 11 more times. More cheering. Someone hollered "Woo!" The energy didn't drop.After another minute, there were nine more chants, more applause, more whoops, more noise — the whole thing playing out over roughly 2-1/2 minutes of pure crowd electricity.The backstory: Trump's handpicked board illegally slapped his name onto the center's marble façade in December 2025, a federal judge ruled, because only Congress gets to change the name of a building named by Congress. When that ruling first came down in May, Kerry Kennedy — a niece of President John F. Kennedy — declared she might not need the pickaxe she'd famously vowed to grab once Trump left office.As of publication, the scaffolding is up, and workers were on site — but the letters haven't fully come down yet. The clock runs out at midnight.

'God help us': Ex-GOP operative warns of 'incandescent' signal America is in decline
Former Republican strategist Steve Schmidt said that Elon Musk — the world's first trillionaire — is "a danger to every single American," in a video on Friday.The Lincoln Project co-founder called the SpaceX leader and Trump administration ally "a Nazi" and raised concerns about his influence on American and worldwide political extremism. Schmidt called Musk a non-state actor, "a nation state all unto himself, and that nation state has managed to take control of the American space program."He warned that this could seriously harm humanity, and specifically Americans."He's an extreme man, and now he's a trillionaire. And that is moral failure of American politics, of the two parties, it is an incandescent signal of the corruption of the age," Schmidt said. "Elon Musk is a most dangerous man." "And don't ever forget that when he delivered this salute in a state of ecstasy, he made himself known for all time, to everybody, for what he is at his core — which is a Nazi — and that is who has become the world's first trillionaire," Schmidt said. "God help us all."
