During the removal, parts of the statue were broken and President Trump and Jeffrey Epstein’s hands were no longer joined. But the statue appeared fully restored on Thursday, with only minor damage and the hands once again clasped together. https://wapo.st/3VMSCKU

JD Vance's friendship with recently killed activist does not entitle him to use AF2 to transport the casket.
If he cares so deeply, let him use his own funds.
But know this, Kirk helped secure Vance's VP election.

In response to Trump-administration directives, many universities “will likely get rid of the most overt and controversial forms of DEI, such as required diversity statements for faculty, but beyond that lies an immense gray area,” Rose Horowitch writes:
Colleges Have No Idea How to Comply With Trump’s Orders
The Trump administration’s confusing instructions to universities have generated a flurry of nomenclature modifications—a kind of anti-woke theater.

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies.
Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE.
Funny how that works, huh?

But Medicaid’s beneficiaries aren’t parasites. Half of them are children.
If we’re talking about people who depend on government, Elon Musk is the biggest “parasite” of all.
