Trump ties Kennedy Center overhaul to his name amid legal block

President Trump says the Kennedy Center overhaul must include his name and funding, warning it could be ripped down without his backing; the center’s board voted to close for a two-year renovation, with Congress approving $257 million but the Justice Department saying more than $100 million in Trump-led fundraising is needed. A federal judge blocked adding the inscription “renovated and restored by Donald J. Trump” and the DOJ has appealed; the judge may also rule on whether the temporary closure violates prior orders.

Lombard Injury Sparks Day-to-Day Watch as Yankees Eye Judge Return

Yankees split a Saturday doubleheader with the Red Sox as rookie George Lombard Jr. exited early with a right knee issue but is listed as day-to-day after imaging; he has started every game at short since Aug. 4 and is batting .253/.310/.367 with 2 homers in 23 games, though his defense has drawn mixed reviews. Aaron Boone said Lombard will get through this. Meanwhile, Aaron Judge could return from a rib stress fracture during the Sept. 8-13 homestand, with rehab assignment decisions still pending. Clarke Schmidt and Ryan McMahon began Double-A Somerset rehab assignments; Schmidt threw 20 pitches in 2/3 of an inning, and McMahon went 0-for-3. The Yankees sit 77-59, nine games up in the wild-card race and are all but assured of a postseason berth.

Three Charged in Threats Linked to Nolan Wells Death Probe

Three people have been charged in federal court with threatening a judge, a witness and local officials tied to the investigation into the death of Nolan Xavier Wells, an 18-year-old who died after a July Fourth boat trip off Mississippi's Gulf Coast. Edward James Porter of Illinois allegedly called and threatened to kill a witness and their family; Michelle Francine Edwards of Ohio is accused of bomb threats at the George County Chancery Clerk’s Office and Jackson County Sheriff’s Office; Joseph Alfredo Vasquez Dumarce of California was charged for sending a threatening Facebook message to a judge tied to the Wells investigation. Authorities have not released arrests or suspects in Wells’ death, and an independent family autopsy found the cause undetermined; the threats occurred amid public speculation and distrust surrounding the probe.

Same script, different season: Yankees fans brace for the Cashman-Boone era

Mike Lupica argues that Yankees fans know the pattern: bursts of brilliance followed by midseason slumps, with Aaron Judge’s injury and a roster with gaps that persist under Cashman and Boone; despite early success, the team still struggles with bullpen, catching, and middle-infield depth, making late-season fixes feel like recurring, often insufficient, bets.

Montana judge finds prosecutors in contempt for public comments in murder case

A Montana judge held prosecutors in contempt for public remarks about the Tyler Robinson murder case, ruling that while some statements didn’t violate a narrowly tailored publicity order, others claiming there was ample evidence beyond a reasonable doubt risked prejudicing the jury; the ruling emphasizes restricting pre-trial commentary to protect the fairness of the proceedings.

Judicial Pushback: Trump’s Appointees Rule Against Him in a Wave of Rulings

CNN found 77 rulings since January 2025 in which federal judges—11 appointed by Trump among them—blasted the administration’s immigration tactics, detentions, and court-order violations, including orders to release detainees. With judges from both parties criticizing mass deportation efforts and executive overreach, the White House defended the administration, signaling a growing rift between the presidency and the judiciary.

Georgia judge apologizes for in-chambers affair as impeachment talk mounts

A Georgia federal judge was disciplined for an extramarital sexual relationship with a security officer in chambers and for allegedly lying to investigators. A disciplinary report says the judge apologized for offensive conduct in a prior letter and acknowledged failures. Clerks and interns observed concerning behavior during a hearing and other interactions, and the judge admitted the affair but denied mistreatment of staff. Two Georgia congressmen have filed impeachment resolutions, and it is up to the House Judiciary Committee to decide whether to begin impeachment proceedings.
