🇺🇸🇷🇺🎼 Amid Western attempts to cancel Russian culture, the National Symphony Orchestra is returning to the Anthem on April 8 to perform Prokofiev's Symphony No. 5
Since the venue is located in the Southwest Waterfront neighborhood of DC (mostly youth-populated), the event is a no-tie.

🔻The New York attorney general's probe of the Trump Organization "uncovered significant evidence" suggesting the company's financial statements for more than a decade relied on misleading valuations of its real estate assets, a court filing said.
Those potentially inaccurate valuations were used "to secure economic benefits including loans, insurance coverage, and tax deductions on terms more favorable than the true facts warranted," the office said in the court filing.
The claims by Attorney General Letitia James were made in response to an appeal by the Trump Organization and Donald Trump of last month's order by a Manhattan state court judge directing Trump and two of his adult children, Donald Trump Jr., and Ivanka Trump, to submit to interviews by James' investigators.

😷The highly contagious Omicron BA.2 is now the dominant variant of Covid-19 in the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, comprising more than half of new cases reported in the country last week.
The subvariant, which is more transmissible but not more severe than the original Omicron variant that hit the U.S. earlier this year, spread widely last week, according to CDC data released on Tuesday. BA.2 now accounts for more than 54 percent of cases nationally, up from 39 percent the previous week.
Though the new subvariant continues to spread, the overall numbers of Covid-19 cases, deaths, and hospitalizations are still falling in the U.S. A daily average of 27,775 new cases and 690 new deaths were reported as of March 27, according to the CDC. According to the agency’s calculations, more than 91 percent of the country remains in a low-risk area.

🔎 😮 LA County sheriff’s deputies responded to Will Smith’s Calabasas mansion on Tuesday after receiving a call about a drone sighting

😏Jim Carrey is verbalizing what a lot of people have on their minds after Hollywood collectively gave Will Smith a standing ovation following his Chris Rock slap ... saying the whole thing was disgraceful.
The comedian and actor tore into everyone who got on their feet Sunday after Will won for Best Actor ... and after delivering a lengthy and emotional speech, which touched on both his work in "King Richard," but also seemed to address the slap moment just minutes earlier.
Jim also pointed out that there seemed to be something deeper bothering Will -beyond just the joke about his wife's hair loss- and it would appear most agree with that as well ... in other words, this was about way more than just being offended over a tasteless crack.

🇺🇦😐 The commander of the neo-Nazi Azov battalion confirmed on Tuesday what Russia has been raising the alarm about: many in the regiment are nationalists.
In an interview with the Financial Times, Andriy Biletsky said that Azov members are “patriotic, many of them are nationalists. But the majority of Ukrainians today are nationalists,” and cited Stepan Bandera, a Nazi collaborator during the WWII who is now considered a national hero in Ukraine.

🔴 The Border Patrol agents accused of “whipping” Haitian migrants last September have been cleared of criminal wrongdoing — but remain under an administrative investigation that could cost them their jobs six months after the initial probe began, The Post learned Tuesday.
The administrative investigation is being conducted by Customs and Border Protection’s Office of Personal Responsibility (ORP), according to Brandon Judd, president of the National Border Patrol Council.
“The [Department of Homeland Security’s] Office of the Inspector General, they had first crack at it,” Judd told The Post. “They determined there was no criminal activity that was done so they closed out their investigation.”
Judd insisted that the agents “were doing nothing but what they were told to do. They were given orders.”
