NEW: In a statement, @Janeese4DC’s campaign calls the OCF report on allegations of coordination with unions “absurd” and “politically motivated.” She says OCF violated its own process, and did not interview witnesses it said it did. The campaign says it will appeal.
NEWS: The D.C. Office of Campaign Finance is fining @Janeese4DC's campaign $16,000 for having "violated multiple provisions of District campaign finance law and the Fair Elections Program."
OCF is also fining the union-backed @WashDC4all political action committee $4,000.

Trump’s name is officially off The Kennedy Center.
Here’s my dispatch of the last 24 hours full of scorching heat, pouring rain, last minute legal battles, double rainbows, big crowds and, after all that, a white tarp:

Here’s the moment the clock struck midnight outside The Kennedy Center, where no letters have come down.
Two weeks ago, a judge ordered Trump’s name removed by end of the day today. Minutes before the deadline, Trump attorneys requested more time, citing weather delays.

15 min until midnight and no letters have been removed from The Kennedy Center sign. Hundreds of people are here watching. They’ve been building the scaffolding (on and off given breaks for lightening, court rulings and dinner) for over 12 hours.

The 40-page report issued by OCF on Friday night touches on a number of issues, starting with allegations of close and impermissible coordination between Lewis George's campaign, various unions, and the union-backed PAC. It says that coordination did occur.

BREAKING: A federal judge just denied the Trump administration's last-minute attempt to delay the removal of Trump's name from the Kennedy Center.
This means the former court order still stands, and Trump's name must come down tonight.

We're reinstating the limited juvenile curfew in Washington, DC.
Effective tonight, all youth under 18 are subject to an 11PM curfew—and designated zones will be subject to an 8PM curfew as determined by the Chief of Police.

Even with the scaffolding built and crews seemingly poised to remove Trump’s name, the legal battle over The Kennedy Center sign continues.
The Justice Dept. has filed a last minute appeal asking a judge to rule by 7 p.m.

Spoke too soon. The crew just climbed down.

You can’t make this up. After hours of waiting, the workers at The Kennedy Center are on the top level of scaffolding near Trump’s name.
And it’s just begun to rain.
So far, both spectators and crew appear undeterred. @CityCast_DC

Rep. Joyce Beatty, the Democratic congresswoman and Kennedy Center board member who sued her fellow trustees over adding Trump’s name, is here.
I asked her what it means to see the crowd gathered outside the arts venue today. Here’s what she told me @CityCast_DC:

I’m reporting from outside The Kennedy Center, where workers appear poised to remove Trump’s name just hours before the court-ordered deadline.
I’ve talked to many spectators, including a man who worked at the center for 35 years.
“The Executive Branch of our government has now killed the Kennedy Center. It is, in my opinion, dead,” he told me. “I’m hoping that this is one small step toward rebuilding. We built it once, and we can build it again.”

The crew has now built scaffolding all the way to the top of the sign.
A crowd has formed in anticipation, but after reaching the top, the workers climbed down to take a water break (its scorching out here!)
