President Trump railed against a judge’s ruling that his name be removed from the Kennedy Center in an incensed social media post, suggesting that he was considering casting the performing arts center aside as one of his personal projects, the New York Times reports.

Trump wrote that unless he was free to decide the center’s trajectory, he had “no interest in continuing what could only be a hopeless journey.”

“President Trump’s top aides have discussed whether he should kill the administration’s nearly $1.8 billion ‘anti-weaponization’ fund in exchange for getting immigration enforcement funding passed next month,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“More than a dozen Republican senators have privately urged top Trump aides to drop the fund since its creation last week, said people familiar with the outreach, including Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, who is usually supportive of the president’s efforts.”

“Administration officials have grown increasingly concerned about the viability of the fund, people familiar with the matter said, which had been expected to provide payouts to an array of Trump allies.”

A federal judge in Miami made a striking turnabout on Friday, reopening President Trump’s $10 billion case against the I.R.S. and saying that she wanted to investigate “grievous allegations” that the hasty deal to resolve it was “premised on deception,” the New York Times reports.

The ruling by the judge, Kathleen Williams, was a significant blow both to Mr. Trump, who had voluntarily dismissed the suit last week, and to the Justice Department.

New York Times: “John Solomon, a reporter who gained President Trump’s favor through his work questioning the federal investigation into possible ties between the Trump campaign and Russians who meddled in the 2016 election, is in discussions to join the White House as special government employee.”

“A judge on Friday ​ordered the removal of President Donald ‌Trump’s name from the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, ruling that the ​iconic Washington venue cannot be ​renamed without an act of Congress,” Reuters reports. 

“The judge also temporarily blocked the Washington, D.C., cultural landmark from being closed for two years for renovations.”

Washington Post: “The ruling throws the Kennedy Center’s near future into uncertainty, blocking leaders from shutting down the performing arts venue in July after they have canceled most performances in anticipation of the closure.”

CNN: “The White House has yet to release any results from President Donald Trump’s most recent physical exam, a break from its own past practice that’s likely to fuel further questions about his health and fitness.”

Los Angeles Times: “President Trump plans to celebrate the nation’s 250th anniversary — and his own 80th birthday — next month by watching bare-chested and bloody UFC fighters kick, punch and choke each other on the storied South Lawn of the White House.”

“Later, during the administration’s summer-long festival to commemorate the signing of the Declaration of Independence, IndyCars will race in a fossil fuel-burning extravaganza around and around the National Mall — home to the U.S. Capitol and the Washington and Lincoln monuments.”
