Time - Interior Secretary Doug Burgum would not commit to removing President Donald Trump’s name from the Kennedy Center on Sunday, despite a judge’s order requiring it to be done within two weeks. “I’m not sure if that’s going to be appealed or not, but I think, you know, there’s controversy on both sides of this about that ruling,” Burgum said on CNN’s Dana Bash on “State of the Union” when asked if the name would be removed.
David Frum, The Atlantic - Trump’s effort to rebrand the semi-quincentennial as the Day of Trump left no time, budget, or effort available for the true purpose of the anniversary. As his own self-celebration has fizzled, a void has opened between the scheduled roster of events and the true purpose and meaning of the solemnity of July 4, 2026. This powerful date will go unmarked by any act of memory worthy of the nation.
The Hill - The country’s upcoming semiquincentennial celebration has fallen subject to partisan tensions as President Trump appears set to headline the start of the multi-week festival later this month. Trump said in a Truth Social post on Saturday that he wants to hold a rally in Washington, D.C., to mark the country’s 250th birthday instead of a planned concert, after more than a half dozen musical acts pulled out of the “Great American State Fair” on the National Mall.
