A D.C. Circuit panel denied the Kennedy Center’s bid for an emergency stay to keep Donald Trump’s name on the building’s facade, allowing Judge Cooper’s order to remove the name by the deadline to stand; the center will pursue further appeal with briefing later this month, arguing that removal could harm fundraising and confuse the public.
A Washington, DC appeals court denied an emergency bid by the Kennedy Center and Donald Trump to pause the removal of Trump’s name from the center’s façade, upholding a judge’s ruling that the name was unlawfully added.

A federal judge rejected the Trump administration’s bid to stay a May 29 order mandating the removal of President Trump’s name from the Kennedy Center facade, meaning the center cannot remain renamed the Trump Kennedy Center while appeals are pursued. Judge Christopher Cooper said the defendants failed to show they’re likely to win on the merits and that a stay wouldn’t serve the public interest. The D.C. Circuit has not yet ruled on a stay, and Rep. Joyce Beatty’s lawsuit argues Congress alone can change the center’s name, which is preserved by the Kennedy Center’s organic statute.

The plan carries a price tag—CBO estimates costs could reach about $125 million.
The Senate Armed Services Committee advanced a bill to rename the Pentagon the Department of War, a rebrand already approved by the House and seen as a potential law this year, with a Congressional Budget Office estimate of up to $125 million for the change. In related updates, Sen.

Separately, FISA Section 702 faces a lapse after the House rejected a short extension, and Senate Republicans are weighing questions for DOJ nominee Todd Blanche over abortion-pill litigation as Democrats outline policy priorities for an H.R. 1 alternative focused on voting rights and affordability.
A federal court ruled the Kennedy Center acted beyond its authority in adding Donald Trump’s name to the building, directing staff to remove Trump’s name from all materials and replace it with 'The Kennedy Center' by June 12. The center circulated a May memo outlining updates to email signatures, letterhead, signage, brochures, and website pages, while it weighs legal options regarding the branding.
A federal judge ruled that the Kennedy Center cannot be renamed to include Donald Trump and ordered the center to revert branding; staff were directed to scrub Trump’s name from email signatures, letterhead, voicemails, social media, and website content and update to either 'The John F.

A federal judge blocked Donald Trump from adding his name to the Kennedy Center and paused two-year renovations, ruling the center’s organic statute fixes its name to John F. Kennedy and only Congress can change it; the decision also restored ex officio trustees’ voting rights and found the board cannot discriminate against them, in response to Rep. Joyce Beatty’s lawsuit.
After a 14-year global consensus involving 56 organizations and about 22,000 participants, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome is officially renamed Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS) to reflect its systemic hormonal and metabolic nature. The rename aims to reduce stigma, improve diagnosis, and align clinical practice over the next three years, with around 1 in 8 women affected by PMOS. The effort was led by researchers including Prof. Helena Teede and advocacy by Lorna Berry, highlighting the shift away from a cyst-centric view to a broader endocrine health perspective.
After more than a decade of global consultation, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) has been renamed polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS) to better reflect its hormonal and metabolic impacts. Led by Prof. Helena Teede and backed by 56 medical and patient groups across six continents, the change aims to reduce misunderstanding and improve diagnosis and care, with the new name to be incorporated into international guidelines by 2028.
Live Science reports that polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) will be renamed polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS) to better reflect its hormonal and metabolic nature. The term “polycystic” is considered inaccurate since arrested follicles, not cysts, drive many features, and the name has contributed to confusion and stigma. The change was led by an international coalition of 56 organizations, with input from thousands of patients and clinicians, and is set to roll out over about three years. The acronym may continue as PMOS, and there are plans to update diagnostic language beyond ovaries to mirror the systemic endocrine-metabolic effects; this may also stimulate broader research and awareness beyond gynecology.
