Trump's Controversial Moves Spark Widespread Criticism

In a recent interview, President Donald Trump called on Republicans to 'nationalize the voting' in an effort to overhaul election ground rules ahead of the pivotal midterm races later this year. Trump's comments come after the FBI searched an elections office in Fulton County, Georgia, which has been a focal point of Trump's baseless claims of voter fraud in the 2020 election. The search was related to a Justice Department effort to seize election records and investigate alleged voter fraud. Trump's administration has been pushing to change how elections are conducted, including requiring proof of US citizenship when registering to vote and prohibiting states from counting mail-in ballots that arrive after Election Day. Democratic election officials have begun preparing for potential federal government intrusion in the midterms, including protecting voters from interactions with federal law enforcement at polling places.

President Donald Trump hinted at dramatic renovations to the Kennedy Center, suggesting that the steel structure could be 'fully exposed' during a two-year closure. The planned renovations, estimated to cost around $200 million, have been met with concern from some who fear a potential demolition beyond what was initially planned. The Kennedy Center has been struggling with slumping ticket sales and dwindling performances after Trump's overhaul of its leadership and renaming it the 'Trump Kennedy Center'.

The article reports on US President Donald Trump's announcement that the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington DC will close for two years for renovations. Trump claimed the building is 'dilapidated' and needs renovation, but critics argue that the closure is an attempt to deflect from the controversy surrounding his decision to rename the center after himself. The renaming decision sparked widespread criticism and cancellations by prominent performers. Kennedy family members have expressed outrage, with some vowing to remove Trump's name from the center when his term ends.

US President Donald Trump announced that his administration is seeking $1.27 billion in damages from Harvard University, accusing the institution of promoting 'woke' ideology and failing to protect Jewish students during pro-Palestinian protests. The move comes after Harvard won some concessions in ongoing settlement negotiations with the government. Trump claimed that Harvard had committed 'serious and heinous illegalities' but did not specify the laws allegedly broken. The development is part of a broader pressure campaign by the Trump administration on liberal universities, with other Ivy League institutions like Columbia University and the University of Pennsylvania also facing restrictions and demands.
