The memo to staff Thursday said staff "must immediately change email signatures, letterhead, and other documents to reflect the name as 'The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts,' or 'Kennedy Center.'"

Changes to interior and exterior signage and any furniture carrying the current name must be switched back by next Friday, according to the memo.

My colleagues in @WSJSports have a knack for great story timing, this time on the Knicks.

From yesterday’s print paper (link in comments) —>

[Andrew Kaczynski @KFILE]

WSJ reports from inside the senators meeting with Platner. Some interesting details where his biggest backers pressed him if any additional allegations were coming.

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders asked Platner if any additional allegations would emerge against the embattled Democratic candidate, according to people familiar with the discussion. Platner said there weren’t any.

Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who also attended the meeting, followed up and said there is a big difference between marital issues and allegations of sexual assault, the people said. Platner agreed and denied any credible allegations of assault were forthcoming.

Pulte has no known national security experience, but he has something Trump values above all else: loyalty.

In conversations with Trump, Pulte made the case that he would be an unyielding advocate for his foreign policy agenda and signaled support for the war in Iran

NEW: There are two people close to President Trump who are disliked by some in the White House in Howard Lutnick and Bill Pulte.

Today, Trump announced Pulte would be the interim Director of National Intelligence.

Here’s how Pulte pulled it off with a key message in private to Trump: loyalty to the president’s national security agenda including the conflict with Iran.

“People have the impression that I ‘withdrew’ or ‘dropped out,'” Maine Gov. Janet Mills told @SteveCollinsSJ yesterday, “but I simply suspended active campaigning. I am still on the ballot.” https://t.co/85pnBg3qDT

Court documents show the man arrested for drinking in public turned out to be wanted for a 2022 murder. Details on @nbcwashington tonight.

Some career news! Today is my first day @WSJ, working on political and government investigations and enterprise. I am beyond thrilled to take on new challenges with some old friends, and to make some new ones in an incredibly talented newsroom that is firing on all cylinders.

ICYMI:

Trump "does not understand functionally that you cannot get things done unless you have some sense of unity with the people who you must work with,” said Sen. Bill Cassidy (R., La.).

Cassidy is part of what some call the "wounded bear caucus."

Got to love the dumb strike zone box obscuring the batter actually hitting the ball.

🤔 The score in the #USMNT v Senegal game is 3–2 on the international broadcast, but it shows as 2–2 on the US channel.

ℹ️ Folarin Balogun’s goal had been disallowed for offside.

[Tim Hanrahan @TimJHanrahan]

It is amazing they are playing on a field where the ball doesn’t bounce #usmnt #usasen

Looks like futsal

This from Dempsey is one of my favorite first touches in all of soccer

Ken Paxton, says @SenBillCassidy, “is someone who Trump probably relates to in terms of all those ethical challenges—Cornyn is not.” https://t.co/meJNeCRAlp

Yeah in retrospect Solo is pretty decent and underrated particularly given everything else that came after

[Kirk Reagan, Starship Captain @CylonPundit]

@jpodhoretz I was there in 1977, in fact I went to the theater 36 times. The ESB is like my favorite movie. I praised Rogue One and SOLO. I can’t say why, I haven’t given it much thought but I had ZERO interest in seeing this Mandalorian film.
