The Trump-aligned Kennedy Center board voted to immediately close the institution for renovations, a source familiar with the vote said, after President Trump and his allies on the board repeatedly warned of financial and physical ruin for the center if no action is taken. For more than a year, the president has pushed for the center to be overhauled and for its performing arts programming to be shaken up — and his administration has pushed to add his name to the building. The union says the institution has eliminated 25 workers across several departments and has said it will not replace them even when the center reopens. IATSE has filed unfair labor practice charges against the Kennedy Center after the layoff of two departments of workers ahead of the closure of the arts institution. CNN - A jury found Live Nation and Ticketmaster operated as a monopoly in its dominance of the live events and ticketing industry, validating complaints that the industry giant was stifling competition and driving up fees for fans.
