Trump’s Kennedy Center ally hits musician with $1M demand over Christmas Eve cancelation
The president of the Kennedy Center’s board is once again lashing out at critics of President Donald Trump this time targeting a veteran jazz musician who abruptly canceled a Christmas Eve performance following the center’s MAGA-style renaming to the “Trump-Kennedy Center.”Richard Grenell, a Trump ally who has led the board since February, blasted musician Chuck Redd after the drummer and vibraphonist withdrew from his long-running holiday “Jazz Jams” performance at the venue, a tradition he has overseen since 2006, Politico reported Friday. In a sharply worded letter shared with The Associated Press, Grenell accused Redd of engaging in “classic intolerance” and called the cancellation a “political stunt” that he claimed would cause significant financial harm to the nonprofit arts institution.“Your decision to withdraw at the last moment explicitly in response to the Center’s recent renaming, which honors President Trump’s extraordinary efforts to save this national treasure is classic intolerance and very costly to a non-profit Arts institution,” Grenell wrote in the letter, adding that he intends to seek $1 million in damages over the last-minute withdrawal. Redd told the AP on the day of his scheduled performance that he canceled the performance after seeing Trump’s name added to the building and website. “When I saw the name change on the Kennedy Center website and then hours later on the building, I chose to cancel our concert,” Redd said, as reported by Politico. Redd’s pullout this week is the latest fallout from the Trump administration’s rebrand of the storied institution, a move that is continuing to spark backlash and legal scrutiny. Scholars and historians argue the move violates federal law, which designates the Kennedy Center as a living memorial to President John F. Kennedy and prohibits honoring any other individual, Politico noted Friday. Kennedy’s niece, lawyer and human rights activist Kerry Kennedy, has vowed to remove Trump’s name once he leaves office, while Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-OH) filed a lawsuit Monday seeking its immediate removal, claiming the board acted unlawfully.

‘I would not be happy!’ Trump bashes new FCC plan in Truth Social rant
President Donald Trump, in a new Truth Social rant, bashed a report of a new plan by the Federal Communications Commission that would allow alleged anti-Trump television networks to mergeNewsmax reported on Sunday that FCC Chair Brendan Carr, a staunch Trump ally, is “pushing through a mega-merger of the anti-Trump group Nextstar.” Nexstar owns several local NBC, ABC, and CBS affiliate stations nationwide. The company is currently in the process of acquiring TEGNA for roughly $6. 2 billion, a move that would put Nexstar above the “network ownership cap,” a federal law from the Reagan administration that prohibits TV stations from reaching more than 39% of U. S. households. “If this would also allow the Radical Left Networks to ‘enlarge,’ I would not be happy,” Trump posted on Truth Social. “ABC & NBC, in particular, are a disaster A VIRTUAL ARM OF THE DEMOCRAT PARTY. They should be viewed as an illegal campaign to the Radical Left. NO EXPANSION OF THE FAKE NEWS NETWORKS. If anything, make them SMALLER.”.
