“This is a five-alarm fire for nonprofits nationwide,” said Lia Holland, campaigns and communications director at the nonprofit group Fight for the Future, which advocates free speech online. “Any organization with goals that do not line up with MAGA can be destroyed with a wink from Trump to the Treasury.”

in sumptuous settings like the horsey Hamptons or amid his vintage car collection, took it down a notch for a more intimate show Thursday in a Manhattan gallery space.As celebrities like Anne Hathaway, Michelle Williams, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Ariana DeBose and many others watched from the front row, Lauren presented a fall collection dubbed “The Modern Romantics,” heavy on high ruffled necks, classics like buttery leather in everything from aviator jackets to bustiers, and soft cashmere. Evening looks were long and lacy.Lauren’s models first appeared atop a balcony, then each descended a grand staircase to walk the runway. The venue, now the Jack Shainman Gallery, was built in 1898 in the Italian Renaissance Revival style.
For the New York-based crowd, it was much less of a journey than Lauren’son Long Island, which took some guests four hours from Manhattan in busy traffic.
Lauren himself appeared at the end of the show to wave — from the top of the balcony.
Lauren said he was celebrating “The Modern Romantics,” an aesthetic he described as “self-assured and unbound by rules.”Some Republicans also signaled opposition, setting up a political clash as the budget process moves forward.
The majority of land in the House provision is in Nevada, including the counties that encompass Reno, Las Vegas and the fast-growing city of Fernley, according to maps released by the measure’s sponsors, Republican Reps. Mark Amodei of Nevada and Celeste Maloy of Utah.Fernley City Manager Benjamin Marchant said the opportunity to buy 12,000 acres (4850 hectares) of federal land at the edge of the community was “good news.” The city size tripled since its incorporation in 2001 and is expected to double again over the next decade, he said.
There is hope to emerge as a technology hub, but Fernley needs space to grow.“We can’t even talk about projects when it’s federal land,” Marchant said. “We can’t sell what we don’t own, and this is the first step.”
