It’s been a dramatic week in culture and relationships—from opera stages to household grudges. The Washington National Opera has officially cut ties with the Trump-bridged Kennedy Center after more than 50 years, citing the Center’s new requirement for fully-funded productions and a string of event cancellations amid political unrest. Meanwhile, on the home front, a woman’s plea for her baby daddy to help restore her electricity sparked debate on the Question of the Day. With a husband in the mix, callers passionately argued that spousal duties should take precedence—not former relationships—a stance that ignited a lively, real-world conflict echoing on-air.  

 
On a brighter note, Johns Hopkins University declared their undergraduate tuition will be free for families earning up to $200,000 annually—along with living-expenses help for those under $100K—started spring 2026, thanks to an $1.8B endowment expansion from Bloomberg. And for fans of love advice, Jasmine Sanders shared her top five steps to rekindle romance with an ex: granting space, keeping communication calm, honestly addressing fixable issues, reopening dialogue on your terms, and committing to real change once reunited—an expert-backed blueprint for second chances.
