As the Oval Office underwent a makeover on Donald Trump’s inauguration day, an iconic red button made a comeback, according to The Wall Street Journal. And no, it’s not for nuclear weapons. The Resolute Desk got retrofitted with Trump’s beloved Diet Coke button, a small red button mounted in a wooden box that signals a butler to bring him a chilled glass of his favorite drink. Visitors often mistake it for the nuclear button, Trump told the Financial Times in a 2017 interview. “Everyone does get a little nervous when I press that button,” he said. Other artifacts that have returned to the presidential office include portraits of the founding fathers George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, and Thomas Jefferson, populist Andrew Jackson, a bust of Winston Churchill, and a sculpture by Frederic Remington named “The Bronco Buster.” Trump also kept some pieces displayed by his predecessor Joe Biden, including a portrait of Benjamin Franklin and a bust of Martin Luther King Jr.

Barron Trump is reaching across the aisle–literally. After Donald Trump took the oath of office at his inauguration on Monday, Barron walked over to shake hands with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, who his father defeated in the November election. Social media users praised Barron’s actions, with one user calling him “the only one with a smidgen of class.” Another user said, “this kid will be our President one day.” “Seems like a very respectful young man with all things considered,” another commenter wrote. The first son, 18, has been largely out of the spotlight since Trump’s first inauguration eight years ago. Recently, however, the New York University freshman has taken a more hands-on role in politics. Last year, Trump credited Barron with some behind-the-scenes work on the campaign to appeal to young voters. The president appeared on several popular podcasts at Barron’s request. ”He’ll tell me sometimes, ‘Dad, this is what you have to do,’” Trump said in October.

Trump Orders Federal Workers Back to the Office

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Monday requiring employees of the federal government to return to in-person, full-time work. The White House readout of the order states, “Heads of all departments and agencies in the executive branch of Government shall, as soon as practicable, take all necessary steps to terminate remote work arrangements and require employees to return to work in-person at their respective duty stations on a full-time basis, provided that the department and agency heads shall make exemptions they deem necessary.” Trump signed the order—one of several—onstage at Washington, D.C.‘s Capital One Arena. He also froze federal hiring and prevented federal officials from making new regulations. Work-from-home policies, which drastically accelerated during the COVID-19 pandemic, have lingered, even as the Biden administration attempted to dial them back. In December, Trump said of his planned actions, “If people don’t come back to work, come back into the office, they’re going to be dismissed.” That same month, the Social Security Administration agreed to a five-year extension of work-from-home policies.

Petty Trump Takes Down Mark Milley’s Pentagon Portrait

A portrait of retired Gen. Mark Milley, whom Donald Trump has suggested is guilty of treason and should be executed, is no longer on the wall at the Pentagon. Just a few hours after Trump’s inauguration Monday, a CNN reporter observed a bare spot on the wall where the portrait of the former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff had been first displayed just ten days ago. Milley was among those pardoned preemptively earlier Monday by former President Joe Biden, who said in an accompanying statement that the pardons “should not be mistaken as an acknowledgment that any individual engaged in any wrongdoing, nor should acceptance be misconstrued as an admission of guilt for any offense.” Monday’s occurrence in the Pentagon isn’t the first instance of Trump’s animosity causing a prominent portrait to not be displayed. During his first term, he neglected custom by refusing to have a portrait unveiling ceremony for his predecessor, Barack Obama.

If you’re looking for effective anti-aging skincare formulas that don’t cost the sum of a monthly mortgage payment, take a cue from reality TV star Bethenny Frankel. Frankel, who has amassed quite the following on TikTok over the years, uses the platform to showcase her favorite products, including both luxury and drugstore formulas.

One of her favorite brands for skincare and cosmetics is No7—specifically, its Future Renew collection. Each formula in the line is affordably priced under $50 but, according to Frankel, looks, feels, and performs like higher-end counterparts.

No7 Future Renew Damage Reversal Serum

One of her favorites is the Future Renew Damage Reversal Eye Serum. The lightweight anti-aging serum is formulated with Pepticology, the brand’s new and patent-pending peptide technology. This technology is formulated to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while aiding in the skin’s natural repair process for a firmer, brighter, and smoother complexion. Frankel also notes that the wallet-friendly serum layers well with other skincare products (she uses it under her moisturizer), and it “plays well with makeup.”

While skincare is always a worthy splurge (after all, our skin is our biggest organ), you don’t have to shell out $100+ for effective formulas that target the visible signs of aging.

Trump’s Inauguration Pastor Immediately Launches Crypto Token

Just hours after he delivered an impassioned benediction at President Donald Trump’s inauguration, Reverend Lorenzo Sewell announced the launch of his own crypto token dubbed $Lorenzo. “I need you to do me a favor right now,” he said in a video on X. “I want you to be able to see politics become manifest, not just in the way where we’re praying over political gatherings, but we’re seeing us become the hands and the feet of the Lord Jesus Christ.” Sewell urged his supporters to purchase his token in order to fund his ministry’s projects, which he said included providing transportation, housing, education, and medical services. “I need you to do me a favor and go and get that coin in order for us to accomplish the vision that God has called us to do in our Earth,” he said. “I give God glory for what he has done, but we know that King’s dream can only be fulfilled if we acknowledge that people are living in a nightmare.” Sewell’s animated benediction at the inauguration garnered mixed reactions, with some social media users calling it their “favorite prayer over America,” and MSNBC Joy Reid dubbing it “over the top” and “quite performative.” Sewell appears to be taking a page out of Trump’s playbook, with both Donald and Melania launching their own crypto coins before inauguration day.

Fox News Sunday

A regular Sunday morning interview on Fox News became a viral sensation over an unfortunate spelling error. On Fox News Sunday, anchor Shannon Bream was asking Pennsylvania Senator Dave McCormick about the brief shutdown of TikTok when a chyron flashed on screen: “TITKOK SHUTS DOWN IN THE U.S.” The caption was on air for over 10 seconds before it disappeared. The chyron reappeared moments later with McCormick’s name and title before eventually getting replaced with the original caption, this time with TikTok spelled correctly. McCormick argued that, “from a national security perspective, you cannot have the communist Chinese controlling and owning TikTok.” The senator expressed confidence that newly sworn-in President Donald Trump will find a solution to the Chinese-owned app’s divestiture woes.

Elon Musk Draws Outrage for Very Evocative Hand Gesture at MAGA Rally

Social media only had one question to ask after Elon Musk hit the stage at the Capitol One Arena in Washington D.C. Monday: What the hell was that salute? While celebrating President Donald Trump’s inauguration at a post-ceremony rally, Musk gave a brief speech where he thanked the crowd for their support and said: “Elections come and go, some are important and some are not, but this one really mattered and I just want to say thank you for making it happen.” He then proceeded to hit what appeared to be not one, but two salutes that many folks online have likened to the Nazi or Roman salute. “Did Elon Musk just hit the roman salute at his inauguration speech?” Twitch streamer Hasan Piker posted on X. “Elon Musk just did a Nazi salute at the Capitol One Arena in Washington,” wrote another. “Elon just did the Nazi salute on TV so that’s where we’re at right now,” added another user. The Roman salute is a sign of power and authority that, in modern times, is often considered a symbol of fascism. CNN anchor Erin Burnett also called out the gesture on air, saying, “Standing ovation for Elon Musk. By far the biggest reception of the day. You saw him come out with that odd-looking salute.”

Barron Trump’s tailor shared his experience dressing the 18-year-old scion for the inauguration, a rare glimpse into the first son’s life. Nathan Pearce, the CEO of Bespoke Pearce, shared how he met Barron to craft his inauguration suit. They were connected through influencer Justin Waller, and Pearce flew to Mar-a-Lago to work with him. Pearce praised the intelligence and sense of humor of Donald Trump’s youngest son, saying: “He’s hilarious. But as I said, he’s super-sharp. You put him in a room with star businessmen and he will hold his own,” the tailor said. “He can talk to them all day because he’s witty, smart and has a dry sense of humor.” Pearce added that Barron offered to give him a tour of Mar-a-Lago and took him to the pro shop to pick out some items on his account. “He is down-to-earth, nice as can be and hospitable,” Pearce said. “He’s this super-bright kid. He’s well beyond his years in terms of experience, knowledge, history. He’s just very fascinating to talk to.”

MTG Cuts Inaugural Line Because She ‘Supports President Trump the Most’

Rep. Marjorie Taylor-Greene (R-GA) insisted that her love for Donald Trump entitled her to cut to the front of Monday’s inaugural line, bypassing dozens of her colleagues waiting to enter the Capitol Rotunda. The Trump diehard said on the far-right YouTube channel Real America’s Voice that the representatives were lining up by the year they entered Congress. Taylor-Greene, who was first elected in 2020, however, wasn’t happy with her place in line. “I said, ‘This is ridiculous,’” she recalled. “‘We need to be lining up by who supports President Trump the most.’ I said, ‘That’s me.‘” So the Georgia firebrand apparently stormed to the front of the line, where she said she encountered Democratic Rep. Marcy Kaptur. “Look, you voted to impeach President Trump, so I’m going in front of you,” Greene said, adding her belief that “every single one of those Democrats” did not deserve to be at the inauguration. The Georgia representative has been among Trump’s most ardent—and controversial—allies in the House over the past several years.

A yacht reportedly rented by music producer Metro Boomin caught fire outside a riverside strip club on Sunday, drawing a flurry of onlookers in the wee hours of the morning. The 95-foot boat went up in flames just 30 minutes after docking at Booby Trap at around 3 a.m., according to reports. The club’s security director Michael Marhefka said that about 10 people were evacuated from the boat, including Metro Boomin, whose real name is Leland Tyler Wayne. No injuries were reported, according to Miami’s NBC6, and more than 30 units were used to extinguish the giant blaze. The outlet’s video also showed the boat turned upside down in the water in the morning, eventually sinking in the Miami River. Officials said the fire was difficult to put out due to the size of the vessel and fuel inside. Metro Boomin is known as one of the biggest producers in the industry, working with acts like The Weeknd, Young Thug, Travis Scott, and Future. An investigation is under way into the possible cause of the fire.
