BREAKING: PATHETIC! Trump files another DESPERATE last-minute appeal to keep his name on the Kennedy Center — claiming donors only gave money because his name is on the building.

The scaffolding is UP. The deadline has ARRIVED. And Donald Trump is fighting like hell to keep his 18 illegal letters on the front of America's memorial to John F. Kennedy.

After federal Judge Christopher Cooper REFUSED Friday to pause his own order requiring Trump's name to come off the Kennedy Center by the end of the day, the Justice Department filed a desperate emergency motion with the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals — begging for a stay by 7 p.m.

Their argument? You CANNOT make this up.

"Without the name 'Trump' on the Building, our fundraising will not only come to a halt, but any and all monies raised or committed would be obligated to be returned, refunded, or terminated," the government wrote.

Read that again. The Justice Department of the United States argued IN COURT that donors only gave money to the Kennedy Center because Trump's name is on it. That's not a defense — that's a CONFESSION. The donations were never about the arts. They were tribute payments to a man's ego.

The filing even echoed Trump's personal grievances, whining that the building is in "bad shape" and "unsightly to look at," but promising it "will be the envy of the World, something that everyone, including this court, will be proud of."

Judge Cooper wasn't buying ANY of it when he denied Trump’s initial appeal. In denying the stay, he noted the administration hasn't "made a strong showing" they'd win on appeal — and pointed out the Kennedy Center ALREADY complied with much of his order, scrubbing Trump's name from its website and internal documents. "These efforts undermine the notion that defendants face irreparable harm," he wrote.

Remember how we got here: Trump gutted the Kennedy Center board, installed loyalists, had them vote to rebrand it the "Trump-Kennedy Center," and planned to CLOSE the institution for two years. Judge Cooper ruled in May that ONLY CONGRESS can rename it.

Meanwhile, crowds gathered outside on Friday, chanting "TAKE IT DOWN." Neighbors at the Watergate have champagne on ice. Volunteer groups are livestreaming the facade 24/7, waiting for the moment those letters come off. But as of 6 PM EDT on Friday, the Trump name remained on the building.

One 79-year-old onlooker who once met JFK himself called Trump's name on the building a "desecration."

He's RIGHT. Take it down. NOW!

Josh Johnson, Organizational Dir of the ADP visited HQ last week and was adamant in that personal contact is the key to winning a voter. He then arranged for the Alabama Democratic Party to offer 'Canvassing 101' training on Wednesday, June 17th at 6 pm at CalCoDem HQ. As ya'll know, 'canvassing' is going out and talking to people to gather support, opinions, and information by knocking on doors and talking to voters with the goal of persuading them to vote for you, identifying supporters and encouraging turnout. Candidates and their staff, others interested in supporting Democratic candidates are encouraged to come. This is going to be a tough election cycle and if we want CHANGE - we the people have to MAKE IT HAPPEN.

What's all the noise about 8647? Calhoun County Democrats made it REALLY clear with our bumper stickers in 2020! It was the 'what, who AND the when.' bw

Lee McInnis is running for election to the U.S. House to represent Alabama's 3rd Congressional District. That seat is currently occupied by Mike Rogers, aka 'no show Rogers' who has represented CD 3 for more than 20 years with very little to show for all that time in Washington. Calhoun County Democratic Committee has repeatedly invited Rogers to speak in a 'town hall' setting, but he's always busy. He speaks to 'closed' groups - not 'open to the public.' If there was EVER a time for Alabama to move from the bottom or very near the bottom of almost every measure, it is NOW! Democrats have a great slate of candidates - we just need everyone to GET OUT and VOTE! Vote Lee McInnis! ps. Lee is engaging with the people in CD 3, traveling almost daily. We've probably seen/heard him 8-10 times. He is VERY accessible and wants people to feel free to ask him hard questions. Democrats, Republicans, Indepents, etc - Lee wants to talk to everyone. If you haven't met him yet - check out his calendar and watch the CalCoDem page at https://www.facebook.com/calcodems/ bw
