President Catherine Connolly has sent a letter of commendation to 13-year-old Austin Appelbee, after he heroically swam for four hours through choppy waters off western Australia to get help for his family who were swept out to sea.

Trump said Musk is not head of DOGE. Musk Said DOGE isn't a GOV dept. So acting as if it has authority, threatening staff with fake "marshalls" to get the to give access to computers is fraud. Locking computers is data theft. All are crimes that should be charged
