Trillionaire Elon Musk spent Monday night posting and re-sharing posts online in an apparent effort to defend his record spearheading massive cuts to U.S. foreign aid " which reporting increasingly suggests may end up causing millions of preventable deaths " and was subsequently hammered by critics. "Musk killed millions by abruptly stopping food and medical supply shipments," wrote Nick Mark, a podcast host and Washington-based physician. "At the time he gleefully celebrated feeding [the U.S. Agency for International Development] (USAID) to the woodchipper' by waving a chainsaw around high on ketamine. Now he's in damage control mode. This is his legacy. Don't let him off the hook."
President Donald Trump wants his name on most anything: money, buildings, airports, warships, even the nation's 250th anniversary celebration. But one item is increasingly out of reach: newborns. In 2025, the baby name "Donald" hit its lowest point of popularity in U.S. history, according to data maintained by the Social Security Administration and reviewed by NOTUS. The federal agency received fewer than 400 Social Security card applications for baby Donalds last year, making "Donald" the nation's 690th most popular baby name amid Trump's return to the White House for a second term. Even in Florida, Trump's new home state and a Republican stronghold, parents minted just 21 baby boy Donalds last year, at par with the names "Abner," "Enoch," "Neythan," "Ariun," "Eros," "Stone" and "Westley," and slightly behind the likes of "Mohammad," "Kash," "Brandon," "Maximus," "Keanu" and "Truce," among hundreds of others.
Two more dead ducks have been found near Donald Trump's Reflecting Pool. The dead ducks were discovered floating in a pond at Constitution Gardens on the National Mall, a short distance from the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, according to The Washington Post. A staff member from City Wildlife, a Washington-based animal rescue and rehabilitation organization, recovered the birds on Sunday and transported them to the group's facility for examination. The cause of death remains unknown. One of the ducks was an adult, the other a juvenile. It comes after a dead duckling was found floating in the Reflecting Pool's bright green water on Sunday, days after federal workers poured gallons of hydrogen peroxide into the pool in an effort to combat a worsening algal bloom. Images of the duckling spread quickly online, sparking outrage and raising questions about the government's cleanup efforts.

Former NBC journalist Chris Hansen of "To Catch a Predator" fame delivered a pointed quip in a video published Monday after a man swept up in a child exploitation sting arrived wearing a shirt prominently featuring President Donald Trump. The sting was carried out by the Livingston Parish Sheriff's Office in Louisiana late last year in coordination with Hansen. A video published Monday revealed new details about some of the 15 men arrested in the operation, including 21-year-old Brennan Temple. Temple, according to Hansen, had sent sexually explicit images and messages to someone he believed to be a 15-year-old girl
