Trump to attend 'Les Misérables' premiere as protests persist across the country
President Donald Trump is set to attend the opening night of 'Les Misérables,' a musical set against a background of revolution and protest, at Washington, D.C.'s John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts on Wednesday. 'I love the songs, I love the play,' Trump told Fox News Digital last week. 'I think it's great.' The opening night of a monthlong run of the Tony Award-winning show comes amid widespread protests against the president's immigration policies and his decision to deploy members of the military in response. Protesting against power is a major theme in the show, which is centered around student-led demonstrations against the French monarchy. 'Set against the backdrop of 19th-century France, the musical tells an enthralling story of broken dreams and unrequited love, passion, sacrifice, and redemption — a timeless testament to the survival of the human spirit,' reads the official summary on the Kennedy Center's website. Songs from the musical have been used in protests against governments around the world since the show debuted in 1980, including by pro-democracy demonstrators in Hong Kong in 2019. Protesters sang one of the show's most popular and recognizable hits, 'Do You Hear the People Sing?' which includes the lyrics, 'Do you hear the people sing? Singing a song of angry men?' The show will be the first production Trump has attended as head of the Kennedy Center. He did not attend any performances during his first term in office, and in February he replaced the entire board of trustees and had himself named chairman of the board. The shake-up resulted in some concerts being canceled — including a performance by the Gay Men's Chorus in honor of Pride Month — and other artists and productions pulling out of planned shows to protest the changes, including actor Issa Rae and a production of 'Hamilton.' 'Our show simply cannot, in good conscience, participate and be a part of this new culture that is being imposed on the Kennedy Center,' 'Hamilton' producer Jeffrey Seller said in a statement in March. A spokesperson for "Les Miz" said Wednesday, 'We are looking forward to performing for DC audiences beginning tonight and throughout the engagement at the Kennedy Center, where the US first saw the original production in 1986.' The performance Wednesday is serving as a fundraiser for the Kennedy Center. First lady Melania Trump, Vice President JD Vance and his wife, Usha Vance, are expected to attend as well. Security will be tightened around the venue for the performance, the Kennedy Center said. 'Please be advised the Kennedy Center will be closed to non-ticket holders on Wednesday, June 11, 2025, due to enhanced security protocols,' the venue's website said.

Ether Surges Toward $3K on Tentative U.S.–China Trade Pact and Soft U.S. CPI Report
Ether (ETH) ETH drifted around $2,770 for most of Tuesday until roughly 8 p.m. ET, when officials said negotiators in London had forged a draft U.S.–China trade framework. The outline — till awaiting presidential approval — would see Beijing resume rare-earth exports while Washington eases curbs on advanced-technology sales. At 8:04 a.m. ET on Wednesday, former U.S. president Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that 'OUR DEAL WITH CHINA IS DONE,' pending his and President Xi's formal approval. Trump claimed the accord would leave U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports effectively at 55 percent versus Beijing's 10 percent, promised that China would front-load supplies of magnets and other rare-earth materials, and said Washington would uphold concessions such as continued access for Chinese students to American universities, describing the bilateral relationship as 'excellent.' Hopes for a thaw in the multi-year tariff dispute sparked an initial risk-on bid: global equity futures firmed, bitcoin ticked higher and ether pushed to about $2,780 on expanding spot turnover. Risk appetite intensified eleven hours later, around 8:30 a.m. ET on Wednesday, after the U.S. Labor Department reported that May headline and core CPI each rose just 0.1 percent month on month, undercutting economists' 0.2 percent forecasts. The cooler print fueled expectations the Federal Reserve could trim rates later this year, driving Treasury yields and the dollar lower while extending gains in equities. Against that macro backdrop, ether vaulted from the upper-$2,780s to an intraday high of $2,873.46, with spot volume swelling to roughly 527,000 coins (~$1.47 billion), according to CoinDesk Research's technical analysis model. Structural tailwinds remain strong. Staked ETH climbed to a record 34.65 million tokens (≈28.7 percent of supply), exchange-traded funds logged a 16-day inflow streak near $900 million, and futures open interest printed a fresh high above $21.7 billion — all underscoring steady institutional engagement. BlackRock's reported $500 million accumulation over the past ten days exemplifies that theme. Traders now look for a decisive close above $2,900 to open a potential run at the psychological $3,000 mark, while guarding against a pullback toward the newly established $2,750–$2,760 support band. Technical Analysis Highlights Trend: Series of higher lows since June 9 and a fresh higher high at $2,873 confirm an accelerating up-channel. Volume confirmation: CPI-triggered candle printed the day's largest bar (≈527 K ETH), validating Tuesday's breakout above $2,800. Support / resistance: Immediate support sits at $2,750–$2,760; upside targets are $2,900 and the psychological $3,000 zone, followed by a secondary hurdle near $3,120. Momentum: Hourly RSI holds above 60, indicating room to extend before overbought conditions emerge.
