Tonight hitting undue in very large type. Jim Shudeau here for Anderson tonight. Take a look at this moment. Cruise in Washington, D.C. are now under orders and a tight deadline to take the name of Donald J. Trump off the living memorial to John F. Kennedy. A last-ditch appeal just failed,

The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected this last-minute

effort by the Trump administration to try to freeze the judge's ruling. And the judge's

ruling from earlier was that the Kennedy Center had to take down the President Trump's

signage, his name off the side of the building by midnight tonight.
