Workers remove Trump’s name from Kennedy Center after court ruling | Donald Trump News
Judge says Trump-backed board’s move to add president’s name unlawful, requires Congressional approval. Published On 13 Jun 202613 Jun 2026 Workers have begun removing the name of United States President Donald Trump from the John F Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, DC following a court ruling. On Saturday, workers were seen on scaffolding in front of the iconic building, with white awning obscuring the removal process. Recommended Stories list of 3 itemsend of list A day earlier, US District Judge Christopher Cooper rejected a last minute appeal by the center’s Trump-aligned board to block an earlier ruling calling for the president’s name to be removed. On May 29, Cooper ruled that the building had been illegally renamed, noting that only the US Congress has the authority to pass legislation to make such a change. He set a 14-day deadline for the removal. In his decision on Friday, Cooper said that the public interest “is rarely served by the ‘perpetuation’ of ‘unlawful’ governmental action”.

Trump administration appeals ruling blocking $100,000 H-1B visa fee
President Donald Trump takes a question from a reporter before signing executive orders in the Oval Office at the White House on September 19, 2025 in Washington, DC. Andrew Harnik | Getty Images The Trump administration said Thursday it will appeal a federal judge’s ruling striking down President Donald Trump’s $100,000 fee on H-1B visa applications in its effort to hike the fee by tens of thousands of dollars. The Justice Department filed the notice three days after U.S. District Judge Leo Sorokin in Boston vacated the fee, ruling that Trump exceeded his authority by imposing what amounted to a tax without approval from Congress. “The Department of Justice is committed to protecting American workers and fully supports President Trump’s America First agenda,” a DOJ spokesperson told CNBC in a statement. “Another court has already ruled in the Administration’s favor on this issue, and we will continue to hold companies accountable when they unlawfully exploit American workers and fail to use the H-1B program as intended.” Monday’s decision was a blow to Trump’s effort to …

While several administrators have sharply criticized the outcome, TCU athletic director Mike Buddie is urging colleagues to avoid rushing toward major decisions. #TCU Athletic Director Mike Buddie responds to the newest Texas Tech court ruling in a new episode of Frogs Today Saturday at 10am @TCUFootball @TCUBasketball @tcuwbb @TCUWomensGolf @TCUvolleyball @TCU_Baseball #GoFrogs pic.twitter.com/TsZmavTz17 — Frogs Today (@frogstoday) June 9, 2026 During an interview, Buddie said the industry should give itself time before responding to a ruling that has raised questions about NCAA enforcement power, competitive fairness, and the growing influence of the courts. “History has taught me, Jay, that for about 72 hours after crazy things happen, you probably just need to take a deep breath and think on things,” Buddie said. “Not respond emotionally.” Big 12 reaction on Texas Tech Brendan Sorsby ruling Nebraska athletic director Troy Dannen delivered one of the strongest responses, telling Sports Business Journal that …
Bangor schools ruling highlights flaws in Northern Ireland’s integrated education system – Humanists UK
The Northern Ireland Court of Appeal has dismissed an appeal against the Education Minister’s refusal to approve proposals for Rathmore Primary School and Bangor Academy and Sixth Form College to transform to integrated status. Responding to the judgment, Northern Ireland Humanists said the ruling highlighted significant flaws in the integrated education system. The case concerned proposals by both schools to become integrated, following parental ballots in which large majorities supported transformation. At Rathmore Primary School, 82.3% of voting parents backed the proposal, while at Bangor Academy, 79.4% voted in favour. Both proposals were supported by the Education Authority, and departmental officials had recommended approval. Despite this, the Minister refused both applications in January 2025, concluding that the schools did not meet, and were unlikely to meet, the statutory requirement to provide ‘reasonable numbers’ of both Protestant and Catholic pupils. Although parents challenged this decision in court, the Minister’s decision was supported by the judge. This was then taken to the Northern Ireland Court of Appeal. The Court concluded that the Minister’s decisions were rational and …
Pro-EU Ruling Party Wins Armenia Election In Landslide, Kremlin Blasts Western Interference
Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s party has won parliamentary elections, according to Monday’s result, after a vote which has signified the small Caucasus nation’s major pro-Western shift. His Civil Contract party secured 49.81 percent of the vote, while the main opposition party Strong Armenia – seen as pro-Moscow, finished a distant second with 23.29 percent. National turnout in the country of three million people was close to 60%. Pashinyan claimed a “historic victory that will ensure Armenia’s eternity and development” while also vowing to “continue the course of rapprochement with the West” – but while balancing the pursuit of positive relations with Russia. Anadolu/Getty Images: Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan declared victory in the parliamentary elections early Monday morning. Prime Minister Pashinyan has made known his intentions for his country to eventually join the EU. However, Strong Armenia party is claiming that the winning side in reality mounted a campaign of interference and intimidation: The second-placed Strong Armenia bloc is led by Samvel Karapetyan, a Russian-Armenian billionaire who made his fortune in Russia and is under …

Voting rights ruling leaves limited alternative protections : NPR
A demonstrator holds a sign saying “PROTECT OUR VOTE!” at a May 16 rally in Montgomery, Ala., responding to the recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling that weakens Voting Rights Act protections against racial discrimination in redistricting. Mike Stewart/AP hide caption toggle caption Mike Stewart/AP Minority voters are left with limited alternatives for combatting racial discrimination in redistricting, after the U.S. Supreme Court’s latest undermining of the federal Voting Rights Act. Remaining options for protecting the collective power of racial-minority voters include state-level voting rights acts and map-drawing strategies, likely in Democratic-controlled states, yet they cannot fully replace the nationwide provisions under Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act that many legal experts say are now practically impossible to enforce. This week, the high court decided to allow Alabama to use a congressional map that a lower court found intentionally discriminates against Black voters. That ruling has also heightened concerns about the future of racial-minority representation in government — particularly in Southern states where voting is polarized between a white, Republican-leaning majority and a Black, Democratic-leaning …
South Korea Lee’s Ruling Party Sweeps Local Elections, but Loses Seoul Mayor Race
By Kyu-seok Shim and Joyce Lee SEOUL, June 4 (Reuters) – South Korean President Lee Jae Myung’s ruling Democratic Party swept most major local races in elections held on Wednesday, but suffered a symbolic setback as the opposition conservative incumbent Oh Se-hoon won another term as Seoul mayor. The Democratic Party won 12 of the 16 major mayoral and provincial contests nationwide, while the conservative People Power Party won four, a result that gives Lee’s party broad control of local governments a year into his presidency. The loss of Seoul, South Korea’s largest city and its most politically prized mayoralty, however, tempered the ruling party’s victory and gives conservatives a key foothold as they seek to rebuild after the scandal over former President Yoon Suk Yeol’s failed 2024 martial law bid and subsequent impeachment. Speaking on the one-year anniversary of his inauguration, President Lee said the government would “humbly accept the will of the people”, and work actively with local governments regardless of their party affiliation. Democratic Party leader Jung Chung-rae thanked voters for what …
