Over 2,000 Arrests in Campus Protests
More than 2,000 anti-Israel protesters have been arrested across the U.S. the past two weeks as campus demonstration have grown more violent. See protest update here.
At UCLA, police in riot gear moved in early Thursday morning to take down an encampment after groups of students began fighting. The police removed barricades and dismantled the encampment.
President Biden also used Thursday to make his first remarks about the student protests. He rejected calls by protestors to alter his approach to Israel and said dissent should never lead to disorder.
Several Columbia professors have condemned that school’s actions against students and called for the university’s president to resign. Student protestors have also filed lawsuits claiming they were wrongly disciplined.
The Derby Readies Its 150th Race
The Kentucky Derby will celebrate its 150th anniversary Saturday when 20 horses make the storied “run for the roses.”
The race, described as “the most exciting two minutes in sports,” is scheduled for 6:57 p.m. ET at Churchill Downs, and Florida Derby winner Fierceness is the current favorite with 5-2 odds. You can see the lineup and odds here.
Churchill Downs officials expect to serve 20,000 desserts, 10,000 pounds of brisket, and 24,000 bottles of Old Forester Mint Julep Bourbon Cocktail. Taste of Home has a list of traditional Derby recipes for viewers at home.
List: The Richest Person in Each State
All but three U.S. states have at least one billionaire resident, and the combined wealth of these 54 billionaires adds up to $1.6 trillion, according to a new Forbes list.
Some states had their billionaires leave, as Amazon’s Jeff Bezos did by relocating to Florida from Washington.
Others saw new billionaires take the top spot in the state, like Louisiana “Raising Cane’s” owner Todd Graves, who took the richest titles from sports owner Gayle Benson.
