Stars have begun to cut ties with the Kennedy Center following President Trump's takeover of the Washington, D.C. institution. Emmy-nominated star Issa Rae canceled a sold-out event, offering full refunds, while singers Ben Folds and Renée Fleming, and TV producer Shonda Rhimes, have resigned their positions. The center is the home of the National Symphony Orchestra and Washington National Opera, and presents around 2,000 shows and events each year. Here's more from HuffPost.
