Melania Doc Bombs, Spielberg EGOTs, and a 5-Year-Old Freed

Trump Administration in the News: Documentary Success, Kennedy Center Closure, EGOT Achievement, and ICE Detention

The Trump administration was the focus of several news stories this week, ranging from entertainment successes to controversial policy decisions. A documentary about First Lady Melania Trump, titled "Melania," debuted with a better-than-expected $7 million in ticket sales, according to studio estimates released Sunday, despite Amazon MGM Studios investing a substantial $75 million in rights and marketing, according to Fortune.

President Donald Trump announced plans to close the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., for two years for a "complete rebuilding," Variety reported on Friday. This decision followed Trump affixing his name to the building and prompting multiple artists to cancel engagements at the famed arts center, according to Variety.

In other news, Steven Spielberg achieved EGOT status, winning a Grammy Award in the best music film category for the documentary "Music by John Williams," Variety reported Sunday.

Meanwhile, the administration's immigration policies continued to draw criticism. Five-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos, detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Minnesota, was released after a federal judge ordered his release, Time reported. The boy and his father, Adrian Conejo Arias, who was detained with him, boarded a plane on Sunday morning in Texas, according to Time. Democratic Rep. Joaquin Castro of Texas said he picked up the father and son on Saturday night and escorted them back to Minnesota, according to Time. "Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack," Castro wrote on social media, according to Time. The image of the boy wearing a blue bunny hat and a Spider-Man backpack while being detained by an ICE agent on January 20 sparked national outrage, according to Time.

According to multiple sources, M83's album "Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts" is a post-rock record reminiscent of Mogwai and Godspeed You! Black Emperor, showcasing a French twist on the genre with its use of drum machines, analog synths, and compressed guitar to create a liminal and uncanny atmosphere. Before M83 embraced 80s-inspired pop, this album represented a period of mostly instrumental music, drawing inspiration from the repetitive bombast of other bands.

Tech Today: Tesla Rebrands, Robot Baristas Win Hearts, & More!

Multiple news sources indicate that despite Elon Musk's efforts to brand Tesla as a sustainable energy, AI, and robotics company, the majority of its $94.8 billion revenue in 2025 still comes from EV sales and leasing, making it vulnerable to dips in the EV market, which contributed to a 46% year-over-year profit decrease. Tesla plans to increase capital expenditure to $20 billion in 2026, potentially leading to negative cash flow, and is ending production of the Model S and Model X, signaling a shift towards investing in growth beyond EVs despite their current financial reliance on them.
