Official renderings were released for President Trump's proposed 250-foot triumphal arch near Arlington National Cemetery, across the Potomac from the Lincoln Memorial, with a design featuring a white arch, a gilded Statue of Liberty, the words 'One Nation Under God' and four golden lions. The project is to be reviewed by the Commission of Fine Arts on April 16 and has faced lawsuits from Vietnam War veterans and a historian, though a federal judge declined to block it. Critics describe it as a taxpayer-funded vanity project while supporters frame it as part of the 250th anniversary celebration.

Polymarket Bets Tilt Against Musk in OpenAI Lawsuit

Crypto bettors on Polymarket are pricing a 37% chance that Elon Musk will win his lawsuit against OpenAI’s Sam Altman, down from about 87% earlier; the California trial set for April 28 centers on Musk’s claim that OpenAI abandoned its founding nonprofit principles and seeks damages reportedly between $79 billion and $134 billion, with Musk saying any proceeds would go to charity. OpenAI contends Musk knew of and agreed to the for‑profit shift as early as 2017, and most bettors (roughly 63%) expect Altman to win, highlighting ongoing tensions stemming from OpenAI’s origins and its Microsoft partnership.

Riot defendants file class-action against Capitol Police over Jan. 6 force

A Florida-based class-action suit filed by members of the Jan. 6 mob accuses Capitol Police and DC Metropolitan Police of using indiscriminate and dangerous crowd-control methods, seeking tens of millions in damages and aiming to represent others on the Capitol’s West Front.

Fischer, a Proud Boy who was charged in the riot, and Patrick and Marie Sullivan; the case cites pepper balls, chemical spray, and other non-lethal munitions as injuring rioters and bystanders.
