What this article doesn’t make clear is that Beachwood (a Cleveland suburb) has been a Jewish enclave since WWII. The population is about 90% Jewish. It’s the home of the Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage, which is half a mile from this branch. This was not a random act.

The GOP "Big Beautiful" budget achieved its goal: tax breaks for billionaires like Elon Musk. How did they afford it? By slashing benefits, gutting social programs, and raising taxes on the working class. Call (202) 224-3121 to tell your Rep this bill is bullshit.

Thanks for the clarification @merriam-webster.com!
Screenshot from Merriam-Webster.com: 
Did you know?
The U.S. Constitution includes two emoluments clauses: the foreign emoluments clause, in Article 1, Section 9, prohibits federal officeholders from accepting gifts, payments, or other items of value from foreign states or rulers; the domestic emoluments clause, in Article 2, Section 1, prohibits the president from receiving any compensation from the federal government or from any state beyond what Section 1 outlines for compensation for service as the nation's chief executive.
