Confederate flag display pulled from NC pavilion at national fair

A video display featuring a Confederate flag at the North Carolina pavilion of the Great American State Fair on the National Mall was removed after officials said it did not represent the state; the pavilion was privately sponsored (not official NC sponsorship) and Mt. Olive Pickle Company withdrew after the controversy, with organizers noting the display was not part of the reviewed concept and that NC’s celebration would focus on unity and equality.

New Kennedy Center signage shows Trump's name removed under tarp

CNN obtained new images showing the Kennedy Center signage with Donald Trump’s name removed, confirming a sworn court declaration and marking the first visual proof of removal while a tarp remains covering the exterior. The move follows a judge’s ruling that the building be named only for John F. Kennedy as a living memorial; inside, financial strains and staffing cuts complicate renovations and a restart of programming as the center seeks more time from the court while continuing operations.

Appeals court rejects emergency bid to keep Trump’s name on Kennedy Center

An appeals court in the District of Columbia denied Donald Trump’s emergency bid to keep his name on the Kennedy Center facade, ordering removal by 7pm local time. Workers erected scaffolding as protesters cheered for the name to come down, and Joyce Beatty—who sued to reverse the change—celebrated the ruling. The decision reinforces that only Congress can rename the Kennedy Center, though Trump and board members could pursue further legal action.

Trump replaces IRS Commissioner Billy Long after two months

President Donald Trump has unexpectedly removed Billy Long as IRS commissioner less than two months after his Senate confirmation, with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stepping in as acting commissioner. Long, a former congressman with no background in tax administration, was confirmed despite concerns over his past work related to pandemic-era tax credits and campaign contributions. His brief tenure followed a series of acting leaders at the IRS amid ongoing controversies and investigations into tax credit frauds linked to his connections.
