Melania Trump demands Hunter Biden retract comments linking her to Jeffrey Epstein:
Asked if he wished to apologize, Biden said: “Uh, fuck that, not going to happen.”
“What I said is what I have heard and seen reported and written primarily from Michael Wolff, but also dating back to 2019.” He cited a number of publications, including the New York Times and Vanity Fair, as sources of his information.

Of all of the "first ladies" (few would really voluntarily apply the word "lady" to Melanoma except in the anatomical sense) Melanoma is the only one who is, as seen in published photographs, truly a "pubic figure".

Uspol, genocide
In case you're wondering whether "political violence" is escalating in the U.S.A. right now, of *course* it is as we move into an era of concentration campus and domestic military deployments. But both domestic genocides and purges as well as political violence targeted at individual prominent figures has been a *constant* throughout American history, from gun duels fought between political rivals to massacres of Native Americans in order to steal their land, to pogroms against Catholics, to literal wars on local Black success and political participation, all dating back before the American Revolution to the beginning of colonization. Thanks to Wikipedia, here's a *small sampling* where I attempted to whittle things down to about one event per decade before recent times.

For more than a year Trump, 79, has exhibited odd behavior at campaign events, in interviews, in his spontaneous remarks and at press conferences.
The president repeatedly drifts off topic,
including during a cabinet meeting this month when he spent 15 minutes talking about decorating,
and appears to misremember simple facts about his government and his life.

“But the American people do not want woke Marxist lunacy in the AI models,” Trump said

Cook, the first Black woman to be appointed a Fed governor, was appointed in 2022 by Joe Biden.
