A new report claims that the Secret Service has urged former President Donald Trump's campaign to stop holding large outdoor rallies in the aftermath of the attempted assassination against the former president at an outdoor rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Sources familiar with the matter told The Washington Post that Secret Service agents have reportedly relayed concerns to Trump's campaign advisors over the possibility of holding large outdoor rallies in the future. The Washington Post noted that Trump's campaign is currently looking into large indoor venues, such as sports arenas, that can hold thousands of people for future rallies. A source close to the former president said the campaign did not currently have any plans for large outdoor venues.

... The U.S. Secret Service has been struggling for a decade to maintain the staffing it needs to ensure the safety of its protectees, a top official said on Wednesday, who explained the agency is doing the best it can with the resources it has.
Agency leaders have been adamant that it met all the resource demands placed on it ahead of former President Trump's rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday that led to an unsuccessful assassination attempt, though it conceded its workforce has and continues to be spread too thin. Matthew Noyes, the director of cyber policy and strategy in the agency's Office of Investigations, told the Aspen Security Forum that USSS is still recovering from the impacts of the budget caps first instituted across government in 2013.
Noyes said those spending limits, which were regularly increased but remained in effect for a decade, restricted hiring at USSS for several years and the agency went multiple years without hiring at all. An agency with fewer than 8,000 employees like the Secret Service, he added, feels the pain of those restrictions for a long period.
"We do the best we can with the resources we have, but we have been constrained for well over a decade now, in terms of resourcing and hiring," Noyes said. "That has a long impact in terms of increasing the staffing to do both of our incredibly important tasks." ...

Lyrics excerpt...

...
He was a man just a simple man
His thoughts and pleasures were few
His bread he shared with his father
That was the life that he knew
[Chorus]
And how the snow fell in Kiev today
And how the wind drove the mourners away
Now there is only one man at the grave of Davorian
And this man's heart is too heavy to pray
[Verse 2]
He was a man just a simple man
Died at the place of his birth
His tombstone shared by the family
A silent place on the earth
[Chorus]
An old man stands by the side of the grave
And this man's heart is too heavy to pray
For he is numb with the pain
Of the love that he couldn't share
And two men died there in Kiev today
...
Yeah, rock music is not like that anymore.
