After strong community opposition, including a county board meeting where dozens of people spoke against it, the Proud Boys billboard that was put up near a high school in Clinton County was removed Tuesday. A representative from Lamar Advertising's Collinsville office said the sign was taken down around noon. The company declined further comment. The Proud Boys have been labeled a hate or extremist group by multiple organizations and was tied to the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, though the group has been quieter in recent years. Lamar Advertising declined to say who purchased the billboard.
The man who promised to be the first "crypto president" has seen the value of his own crypto coin collapse faster than his approval ratings. Days before his inauguration, President Donald Trump announced that he was launching a meme coin"a type of cryptocurrency that relies on online hype and digital branding. The token, traded as $TRUMP and inspired by the president's "Fight! Fight! Fight!" chant after his assassination attempt, has fallen in value from almost $75 per token in January to barely $8 today (an 88 percent drop). First Lady Melanoma Trump followed her husband into the famously volatile cryptocurrency industry and her token has fared even worse. Her $MELANIA coin has lost more than 98 percent of its value since its mid-January peak, and it is now trading at about 20 cents per token.

In his post on the Telegram messaging app, Zelenskyy called it an "ordinary civilian enterprise, an American investment. They produced such familiar household items as coffee machines." The Ukrainian leader went on to say that the Russian military "delivered this strike as if nothing had changed at all. As if there were no efforts by the world to stop this war."
