The religion-power thread still lacks its own state record. The paper's June 19 brief on religion power staying dormant said a public-institution fight could not stand in for a church-state action.

The Kennedy Center source stack is concrete, but it belongs to another file. Washingtonian reported that the center was still refusing to book performances despite a court order and that DOJ told the court no affirmative programming or staffing steps had been taken. [1] The Hill reported the partial-closure lawsuit and the administration's consideration of complete, partial, or phased closure options. [2]

Those records concern court compliance, programming, staffing, renovation, and institutional operation. [1][2] They do not name a religious-liberty case, school prayer order, agency directive, military chaplaincy action, AI religion-policy document, or faith-institution dispute.

The temptation is obvious. X can fold institutional power into identity conflict before the document catches up. MSM can cover the docket narrowly and miss why symbolic institutions attract broader arguments. A religion-power article still needs the religion-power instrument.

On June 20, the record is Kennedy Center governance, not religion and state.
