Kennedy Center Demolition Threat, Trump's Troubles, Poland Warns Of Russian Attacks

A federal judge ruled that Trump and the board cannot demolish the Kennedy Center or build anything new without providing thirty days' notice. A staff member submitted a sworn statement claiming she witnessed a forklift rammed into the building's pillars several times on Wednesday.

Trump has been threatening to demolish the Kennedy Center if his name is not placed on it.

The Trump administration should receive recognition for taking on the Kennedy Center long term, otherwise it will close and be ripped down.

Trump claimed the center has lost hundreds of millions of dollars but provided no evidence for that assertion.

The Kennedy Center's executive director stated the building's current closure is temporary. Eight architecture and culture groups asked the court to appoint a receiver or independent monitor to protect the building. The Kennedy Center prided itself on making free public programming available 365 days a year.

The Supreme Court blocked a Trump executive order that told the Postal Service to only send mail ballots to certain verified voters.

Trump thinks limiting mail-in voting helps Republicans, which isn't at all clear.

The Fed raised the federal funds rate to just under four percent.

Interest rates in the United States should be one percent or less because the U.S. is the best credit in the world.

The Fed wants to lessen inflation, which was caused in part by Trump's war in Iran.

Trump's approval remains below forty percent by most polls. Florida Republican Congresswoman Maria Elvira Salazar criticized Trump's immigration policy. The price of diesel fuel hit a record high this week.

After the midterms, a new Congress might push back on Trump, and growing ideological rifts in the GOP may intensify.

Donald Tusk warned that Russia is planning to send drones or missiles into NATO territory and claim the incidents are accidental.

Potential strikes intend to paralyze NATO or weaken the alliance's willingness to respond collectively, demonstrating that Article Five exists only in theory.

Tusk said he received intelligence from NATO, Ukraine, and U.S. agencies but didn't specify which one he was citing.

There is nothing to suggest an invasion, but Poland is about to face a real test. The coming months are likely to be the most critical for Ukraine as Russia attempts to further destroy its economy and infrastructure.

Tusk warned that Russia-friendly parties like the AfD and National Rally are looking for an excuse not to defend Poland and the Baltic states.

These Russia-friendly parties talk about peace but are essentially calling for the total capitulation of Ukraine.

The Polish military retrieved a Russian drone carrying a warhead just off its coast. A Russian drone hit a passenger train in Ukraine just a mile from the Polish border. Germany blamed Russian operatives for an attempted drone strike on an airport serving as a major NATO hub.

The accusations of Russian drone strikes are contrived and far-fetched.
