  "summary": "Political fallout and legal filings around Kennedy Center tarps and the removal/covering of Trump's name on the facade",
  "why_now": "Recent filings and public commentary by political actors created a media moment; visual evidence (photos of the facade) and partisan statements accelerated coverage.",
  "evidence_summary": "- The Hill quotes a Democrat calling the tarp an 'act of petty defiance' (explicit political framing). - The Washington Post shows photos and reporting about the Kennedy Center facade without Trump's name, tying the issue to a former president. - Forbes covers filings claiming the tarps are to 'massage broken egos' and discusses legal filings and political overtones.",
  "caveat": "High confidence in controversy framing; outcomes (legal rulings, institutional policy changes) remain uncertain and may take weeks to resolve.",
