WASHINGTON (AP) — The president of the Kennedy Center is criticizing musician Chuck Redd for canceling a Christmas Eve performance. Redd withdrew days after the White House announced President Donald Trump’s name would be added to the venue. On Friday, the center’s president, Richard Grenell, called the decision “classic intolerance” and threatened to seek $1 million in damages. Redd, a drummer and vibraphone player, has led holiday “Jazz Jams” at the center since 2006. The renaming, approved by Trump’s board, reportedly violates a law prohibiting changes to the center’s dedication to President John F. Kennedy.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Attorneys for the man accused of killing iconic rapper Tupac Shakur are pushing to suppress evidence that was collected in what they say was an unlawful nighttime search. The attorneys claim the affidavit seeking to search Duane “Keffe D” Davis’ home in 2023 mischaracterized Davis as a dangerous armed drug dealer in order to get the rare nighttime search approved, when in reality he was a retired cancer survivor living with his wife outside of Las Vegas. Davis was arrested for the 1996 murder of Shakur in 2023, a major development in one of the country’s most well-known unsolved murder cases. He has pleaded not guilty.

Allegheny County in Pennsylvania will begin using a controversial legal tool for involuntary mental health care in the community, beginning Jan. 1. County officials are implementing assisted outpatient treatment. They’re the first county to do so after state lawmakers voted for it in 2018. Officials were motivated by people’s calls for helping someone before they reach the legal threshold of being a danger to themselves or others. The county will establish an advisory group to monitor implementation and review progress through 2026. Opponents argue involuntary care can destroy a patient’s trust in the public mental health system and has serious implications for the civil rights and individual autonomy of those in need of care.
