If Trump wins, we lose: Ivanka promotes book by her father's vocal critic
Ivanka Trump, daughter of US President Donald Trump, has once again drawn attention, but this time not for political commentary, but for her reading choices.

But it was the snapshot of Untamed, a memoir steeped in themes of self-liberation and empowerment that raised eyebrows. Doyle, who actively campaigned against Trump during the 2020 election and supported Kamala Harris, hasn't been shy about her views. In a widely shared post leading up to the election, she warned: 'If Trump wins, we lose,' citing concerns over women's rights under his memoir, which chronicles her journey through divorce, motherhood, and coming out as a lesbian, is lauded as a testament to living subtle endorsement of the book stands out against the backdrop of her withdrawal from public political life.

'It's a very dark, negative world,' she said, referring to politics.'Unfortunately, there is a darkness to that world that I don't really want to welcome into mine.' She reflected on how the experience made her 'a little bit calloused,' and emphasized her desire to be present for her also described her new role in her father's life not as a political advisor, but simply as a daughter. 'I'm most looking forward to just being able to show up for him to take his mind off things, and like watch a movie or a sports game,' she said. 'It's the world's loneliest position.'This is not the first time Ivanka has shared her reading habits. Her Instagram has previously featured titles such as Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin, Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl, and The Women by Kristin Hannah.

Girl, 18, forced to sing Russian anthem under scorching sun: how Ukrainian teenagers become Russia's hostages
Russian security forces at the border forced an 18-year-old Ukrainian girl, taken to Russia against her will by her parents, to memorise and sing the Russian national anthem under the scorching sun. Source: Olena Rozvadovska, co-founder of the charitable foundation Voices of Children, during the advocacy event People First, organised by the Center for Civil Liberties Quote from Rozvadovska: "There is a girl – let's call her Ivanka. She has recently turned 18. She was 15 when the full-scale invasion began. She was born and raised in a city that is now occupied. Her parents have sided with Russia." Despite her parents' support for the Russian invaders, Ivanka remained determined to stay in Ukraine. They forcibly took her to Russia, promising a 'heavenly life' with the chance to attend school and later university in Moscow or St Petersburg." Details: Ivanka (name changed for security reasons) has persistently sought ways to get back to Ukraine, keeping in touch with her Ukrainian classmates and her teacher. The girl refused to obtain a Russian passport, even though her parents insisted. A big fight broke out at home. She ultimately ran away and travelled all the way from Russia to Ukraine on her own. "The worst thing she describes is the experience of being interrogated by the Federal Security Service (FSB) while crossing the border," Rozvadovska says. "When we meet with such children in Kyiv, they say this is the most traumatic thing." Ivanka was questioned by FSB officers wearing balaclavas. After they searched her phone and found a message reading "Glory to Ukraine", the interrogation intensified. "They forced her to sing the Russian anthem, but she didn't know the words. They made her memorise it under the scorching sun, not even allowing her to stand in the shade. She was exhausted and terrified," Rozvadovska explained. Eventually, Ivanka managed to sing the anthem. One of the FSB officers sang along but made several mistakes – neither he nor the girl knew the lyrics properly, highlighting the absurdity of the situation. Ivanka now lives in Kyiv. But according to Rozvadovska, her case is one of the "softest" the Voices of Children foundation has encountered. "Many children who came back from Russia report physical violence, psychological pressure, and manipulation. They were told things like, 'Nobody is waiting for you in Ukraine'," she said. Many return in a severe psychological state, struggling with anxiety, fear and difficulty trusting others. Some have been receiving psychological rehabilitation for over a year. "When we celebrate the return of one, two, ten children – it's actually just the beginning of a new chapter for them," Rozvadovska added. Hundreds of children have been brought back, either independently, with volunteers, or through initiatives like Bring Kids Back. However, the number is still only a fraction of the whole. "Many of these children were taken when they were infants or toddlers. They are growing up under systematic manipulation and propaganda. In Russian schools, they are completely cut off from Ukrainian identity. They are not allowed to contact Ukraine. They are being brainwashed," she explained. Human rights activist Oleksandra Matviichuk, Head of the Center for Civil Liberties and a 2022 Nobel Peace Prize laureate, noted that while Ukrainian authorities report the illegal deportation of about 19,000 children, the real number could be much higher. The People First campaign was launched to keep the issue of child deportations and other Russian war crimes against Ukrainians in the global political spotlight.

Theo Von was just spotted at this Miami restaurant. Comic had some unlikely companions
Random celebrity sighting alert in the 305: Theo Von. Before joining President Donald Trump on his trip to Qatar Thursday to perform for U.S. troops, the comic du jour was in Miami hanging with some famous locals. That would be POTUS' daughter Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner. The first daughter shared a picture of the three of them seated at a meal at Casadonna, David Grutman's upscale eatery in the old Miami Women's Club space in Edgewater. We reached out the eatery's reps about when the meal occurred and did not immediately hear back. 'Miami looked good on you,' wrote the mother of three, who lives in nearby Indian Creek Village. 'Come back and visit us soon!' Vonn reposted the X, joking, 'Y'alls posture is so good. Wth!! Are y'all in spine club or something ??!! I'm built like a damn raccoon. Thanks for the hospitality. Had a blast.' Had no idea the onetime 'Road Rules' star was pals with the Kushners? Join the club. We may have to look to Ivanka's half brother, Barron, for the initial introduction to the Louisiana native, 45. The president said that last year his youngest son recommended he do Von's podcast called 'This Past Weekend' to gain a younger audience in the so called manosphere. 'Dad, you've got to do an interview with a guy named Theo Von,' Trump said in his own remarks Thursday. 'I said, 'Who the hell is Theo Von?'' The one on one episode aired last year while Trump was on the campaign trail, receiving close to 17 million views.
