Melania dons jacket saying ‘I really don’t care. Do U?’ ahead of her border visit — and afterward:

First lady Melania Trump took a trip to the US-Mexico border on Thursday to tour an immigrant children’s shelter, but her trip is getting attention not only for her action, but also for her wardrobe choice before and after the journey.

Trump was not wearing the jacket when she landed in McAllen, Texas. She re-donned the jacket and wore it when she deplaned back at Andrews Air Force Base despite the media storm that had erupted over her initial wearing.

Before the hearing began, 17 of those people — all of whom had been separated from their children — were removed from the docket for reasons that were not immediately clear.

Throughout the day, conflicting messages from the US Attorney’s Office and the federal public defender’s office raised several questions: Were the charges dropped? Had they been charged to begin with? Where are they now and what happens to them next? Where are their children? Did the President’s latest executive order, which pledged to keep families together while maintaining a “zero tolerance” prosecution policy, have anything to do with the confusion?

The fact that they’re rounding out the lottery and not headlining it is potentially disappointing for them, but it’s a beautiful indication of what’s to come for pro basketball fans everywhere.

The question is: How many teams selecting these prospects made the right choice?
