    This post was originally published on Politico.

    The night after verbally sparring with Abdul El-Sayed on primetime television, Fox News host Jesse Watters had kind words for the progressive Michigan Senate nominee.

    “I like him,” Watters remarked Tuesday to his co-hosts on “The Five,” albeit right after saying he doesn’t trust him. “I don’t want to like him, but I like him.”

    Less than 24 hours prior, the two had engaged in an adversarial, wide-ranging interview in which Watters pressed El-Sayed to explain his stance on transgender women in sports and his support for the Green New Deal. For his part, El-Sayed tried to spin Watters’ pointed questions into

  • Lawsuit protects Kennedy Center from Trump’s wreckage, lawmaker says

    What’s stopping President Donald Trump from tearing down the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts is ongoing litigation, according to Rep. Joyce Beatty, an ex officio board member who brought the lawsuit.

    In an interview with MS NOW’s “The Weekend” on Saturday, host Eugene Daniels asked the Ohio Democrat what is preventing Trump from simply knocking down the building for his planned renovation as he did the White House East Wing to make way for his ballroom — which now costs $600 million, according to The Washington Post.

    “If Donald Trump and the administration send, you know, construction crews to the Kennedy Center and decide to knock it down, who’s going to stop them?” Daniels said. “He knocked down the East Wing, and it’s still unclear if he was legally able to do that.”

    “This started back in December of 2025, so I’m a little more hopeful with this because we are in court, and he may have thought about doing it when he was ordered to take his name down,” Beatty said, referring to the Trump-appointed board’s decision in December to add the current president’s name to the center.

    “So I think there is a slight difference, but I don’t want to make light, Eugene, of your question, because I understand where you’re coming from,” she said, “and that’s why we continue to go back to court.”

    Beatty had previously successfully sued to remove Trump’s name from the institution. She is now challenging Trump’s bid to renovate the Kennedy Center.

    Lawyers with the Department of Justice have argued the center may need to be “taken down” if renovation efforts are barred from moving forward. Beatty is also seeking to block the board from adding Trump’s name back on the building despite the earlier court ruling.

    In her Saturday interview, Beatty warned that it may backfire on the administration if it tears down the Kennedy Center.

    “This is a living memorial, the only memorial to an assassinated president that was beloved by many,” she said. “But we know Donald Trump is acting like a spoiled kid. ‘I didn’t get my way, I’m throwing a tantrum, and now I will tear it down.’ So we’re not taking it lightly.”
