A deadline has now passed and President Trump's name is still on the Kennedy Center building.
Part of his bid to put his stamp on some Washington institutions, which the courts, in this case, have ruled against. Representative Joyce Bady, Democrat from Ohio filed suit, arguing only Congress can change the name she spoke from the site Friday.
“"This is only the beginnings, but I think this is a good start.”
Yes, that they understand they have removed from the website and from some of their social need. So today is a good day to see this happening going up, we'll just have to wait." And the way to remove the name goes on, the Trump administration filed for a deadline extension until noon Saturday, citing stormy weather.
Cruise on the scaffolding have started hanging torps that shield the work from view, crowds of gathered at times chanting "take it down." The UN says foreign aid cuts are threatening to reverse years of progress fighting the HIV epidemic, and PR's Jonathan Lambert reports. Over the last several decades, HIV infections and AIDS-related deaths have been on the decline
worldwide.
Last year, there were 1.2 million new infections in just over half a million deaths, according
to a new UN AIDS report. Those are record lows, but that global picture could be fuzzier because of funding disruptions to surveillance programs. HIV testing dropped sharply by up to 22% in countries with very high HIV levels. Additionally, almost 40% fewer people were taking oral HIV prevention medication in 2025
compared to the previous year. That could lead to more infections in the future, if the agency says. The number of people on HIV treatment ticked up slightly however, suggesting countries are having some success in responding to the funding cuts.

A new study looks at how certain proteins inside a pregnant body respond to heat and how that can affect both mother and fetus, and here is Alejandra Berunda reports. One way body's deal with heat stress is to ramp up the production of molecules called heat shock proteins. Find the mentally, their job is to protect the cell.
That's Carrie Bretton. She's an environmental epidemiologist at Washington University in St. Louis.
“She says that's extra important during pregnancy when feeling too much heat can affect”
both mother and fetus. The new study in environmental science and technology shows that heat exposure ramped up the amount of protective heat shock proteins in most pregnant women's blood, but some women who developed lots of the proteins ended up having their babies early. It's a hint about why some pregnant people might be more sensitive to heat than others.
