Turns out Elon Musk's DOGE discriminated against the Bicentennial celebration. This is surely cause to denaturalize and deport him, isn't it? legacy.www.documentcloud.org/documents/28...
DOGE flagged as DEI a grant to the Boston Symphony Orchestra that
sought to digitize at-risk audio reels representing radio broadcasts of live
Boston Pops concerts between 1958 and 1979 – a period covering the last
20 years of the great and beloved Arthur Fiedler’s tenure as the Pops
conductor. According to DOGE, “Preserving and making accessible
historical recordings promotes diversity, equity, and inclusion by sharing
valuable cultural heritage.” Dkt. No. 248-11, Ex. 11, US-000062485 (tab
“Sheet3”), at D434. This surely represents an unwarranted expansion of
any definition of DEI, since ChatGPT utterly failed to explain why
preserving Boston Pops broadcasts from the Fiedler era had anything to do
with advancing the interests of any historically disfavored group, though
many a professional musician might well feel marginalized. In fact, the
“valuable cultural heritage” that would be shared by preserving these broadcasts includes innumerable performances of John Philip Sousa’s
patriotic marches, played regularly to enthusiastic audiences.4F
55 This project would also have ensured the preservation of the live broadcast of the Pops’ historic Bicentennial Concert,
broadcast live from Boston’s Esplanade on the evening of July 4, 1976 – which ended with the bells of all of Boston’s
historic churches ringing to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, while
fireworks exploded and Fiedler conducted the climactic ending of Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture. It was a terrific and
patriotic musical moment.

POTUS apparently has further thoughts on the law of war.
In a brief phone call with NBC News, President Trump declined to provide any update on the status of ongoing negotiations with the Iranians, but he sharply criticized Iran’s call for young people to line up as human shields around power plants. 

“Totally illegal,” he said. “They’re not allowed to do that.”  

As for what motivated him to post this morning that “a whole civilization will die tonight” — a comment that has drawn backlash from around the world — he would only say: “You’ll have to figure that out.”
