The Needle: Trump Fast-Tracked Rock Creek Tennis Center Expansion Plan, SNAP Recipients Must Prove They’re Working, Trump Surrenders J6 Fund, Oil Spill on the Mall, 8647 Wins, and Locals Celebrate Kennedy Center Win

The Trump administration fast-tracked the expansion of the Rock Creek Tennis Center despite environmental and legal concerns, while implementing stricter work requirements for SNAP recipients. Trump abandoned a fund for J6-related claims, an oil spill occurred on the National Mall during a Freedom 250 event, and a federal judge protected the display of an 8647 flag as a First Amendment victory.
