Security footage revealed Nebraska State Sen. Machaela Cavanaugh, a Democrat from Omaha, appearing to systemically remove framed portraits from a temporary PragerU exhibit in the State Capitol rotunda on Wednesday. The display was part of a Founders Museum initiative marking America’s approaching 250th anniversary, featuring signers of the Declaration of Independence alongside important historical figures like Phillis Wheatley.

BBC excerpt: US President Donald Trump has withdrawn the US from dozens of international organisations, including many that work to combat climate change. Nearly half of the 66 affected bodies are UN-related, including the Framework Convention on Climate Change – a treaty that underpins all international efforts to combat global warming. Groups working on development, gender equality and conflict – areas the Trump administration had repeatedly dismissed as advancing “globalist” or “woke” agendas – are also included. The White House said the decision was taken because those entities “no longer serve American interests” and promote “ineffective or hostile agendas”. The…
