Zahara Jolie Drops Dad's Surname as Family Rift Widens

Zahara Marley Jolie—formerly Zahara Jolie-Pitt—filed in California to legally change her name, dropping Pitt from her surname as part of a pattern set by her siblings Maddox, Shiloh and Vivienne amid the Jolie–Pitt divorce fallout. The 21-year-old recently earned a psychology degree from Spelman College and has previously used Jolie or Jolie-Pitt in public appearances. The high-profile split began in 2016 and culminated in a 2024 settlement, with Jolie retaining custody and Pitt reportedly having limited contact with his adult children.

Kennedy Center strips Trump's name after judge's order, awaiting congressional action

The Kennedy Center removed references to Donald Trump from its website following a U.S. district court order that the center cannot rename itself without congressional action; a deadline to remove all Trump references was set for June 12, 2026. Despite the changes, the front of the building still bears Trump’s name, and the judge’s ruling also paused renovations connected to a Trump-backed project. Trump criticized the ruling on social media.

PCOS Gets a Fresh Name: PMOS Aims to Improve Diagnosis and Care

Global experts have renamed polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) to polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS) to better reflect its multisystem effects. The change, backed by 56 organizations after more than a decade of consultation and published in The Lancet, aims to reduce diagnostic delays and misperceptions by emphasizing endocrine and metabolic factors over ovarian cysts, potentially guiding future research toward metabolic roots like insulin resistance and chronic inflammation and reshaping how the condition is diagnosed and treated.

Roy Admits Save Act Could Create Name-Change Voting Hurdles

A video shows Rep. Chip Roy privately acknowledging that the SAVE America Act could create hurdles for people who have changed their names, such as married women, contradicting his public insistence that the act imposes no voting barriers. The proposal would require documentary proof of citizenship and extra paperwork, a point of criticism from voting-rights advocates as it advances through a Senate with long odds.

SAVE Act has no married-women carve-out, risking voter registration

SAVE Act has no married-women carve-out, risking voter registration

A fact-check clears up confusion: the SAVE America Act does not include special exemptions for married women who change their names. The bill would require documentary proof of citizenship and, for individuals with name discrepancies, additional documents (such as marriage records or court orders) to prove identity, with states determining how much documentation is needed. Critics warn the measure could disenfranchise millions, including many women who have taken a spouse’s name, and point to past state laws (like Kansas in 2011) as precedent. Supporters argue fixes exist, but the current text does not provide an affidavit-only path, and voting-rights groups remain wary of broader impacts on registration access.

Trump’s Bid to Redesign the Kennedy Center Sparks Backlash and Renovation Plans

Trump has announced a two-year closure of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts to undertake a major renovation, part of his effort to reshape the center’s programming and leadership. After purging the board and declaring himself chairman, he criticized the center as disrepair and “woke” in its offerings, while signaling a name change to Trump-Kennedy Center that provoked broad backlash and cancellations from artists. The center, opened in 1971 as a premier Washington cultural venue, now stands at the center of a debate over politicizing national cultural institutions as renovations proceed.

Kennedy Center Name Fight: Lawmakers Seek to Drop Trump from National Memorial

A federal lawsuit and multiple House measures challenge the Kennedy Center’s 2025 decision to rename the facility after Donald Trump, arguing the change violates the center’s status as a national memorial; Rep. Joyce Beatty, a board trustee, seeks to void the rename and restore the original designation, while additional bills aim to remove Trump’s name from signage and declare the action unlawful.
