Trumpâs reason for holding the Kennedy Center hostage doesnât even make sense | CNN Politics (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There is plenty thatâs bizarre about President Donald Trumpâs attempt to take the Kennedy Center hostage over a judgeâs refusal to let him put his name on it. Heâs now indicated twice in recent days that he will abandon the center â and even let it be âripped downâ â if the courts donât change the ruling. But high on the bizarreness quotient are Trumpâs claims that the Kennedy Center needs him. They just donât make sense. The administration has made that argument repeatedly
JD Vanceâs telling âgive us another chanceâ flub | CNN Politics (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Vice President JD Vance this week asked voters for âanother chanceâ â something that is decidedly contrary to President Donald Trumpâs midterm messaging â before seeming to catch himself. âGive us another chance â or, give us another couple of years to continue to work on the amazing things that weâve been doing for the past two years,â Vance said on the âAll Inâ podcast.

Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts had suddenly voted to slap his name alongside Kennedyâs on the building. Ten months later, Trumpâs effort to hold the institution hostage to obtain that goal epitomizes an increasingly bizarre fixation on his own legacy â and one with potential near-term political consequences. Perhaps better than anything else right now, it
Analysis: Trumpâs successful revenge tour and 8 other takeaways from the 2026 primaries | CNN Politics (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The 2026 primary season featured the rise of democratic socialist and anti-Israel candidates on the left, a host of incumbents losing primaries, President Donald Trump getting revenge but also seeing his hold on his base waver, and a bare-knuckle redistricting push by Republicans that could reverberate for years to come. All of it set the stage for a midterm election in which Democrats seem to have a chance to flip both the House (which appears likely) and the Senate (which appears possible), th
