Warner (D-VA), ex officio member of the Board of Trustees of the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, released the following statement on today\u2019s board meeting:\n\n\u201cThe John F. Kennedy Center has an important relationship with Congress; it was established by and receives vital funding to maintain the building from Congress.\n\n\u201cIt is no surprise that the Center has its own challenges, but its leadership and the president should be working with Congress to address and remedy those problems. Instead, President Trump has turned a national monument into another one of his vanity projects.\n\n\u201cWith the president\u2019s handpicked board voting to close the Center immediately, we are losing one of the country\u2019s premier arts and cultural institutions. It is a shame the president would rather close the Center because it cannot have his name on the building, rather than work with Congress to renovate the building.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-09-16T09:43:13Z", "2026-09-16T09:44:22Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.warner.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/warner-statement-on-kennedy-center-closure/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.6562939379364252, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
