News On The Run: The Companies That Went After Trump are Now Donating to His Inauguration
PLUS: New York’s Historic Hudson River State Hospital Has Been Decimated By Fires
From the Washington Examiner:
Corporations that had pledged to suspend political action committee donations in the wake of the Jan. 6 insurrection are rushing to help fund President-elect Donald Trump’s second inauguration.
After Trump supporters stormed the Capitol in 2021 in an attempt to reverse the results of the presidential election, many companies paused donations and political contributions to organizations associated with Trump or any lawmaker who voted against certifying the results of the election.
However, that outlook has now changed as business leaders work to rebuild relationships with the incoming president who is expected to have a major affect on their company’s outlook in the future.
According to reporting from the Wall Street Journal, Ford, Toyota, Intuit, and Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America are each giving $1 million.

New York’s Historic Hudson River State Hospital Has Been Decimated By Fires
The campus of the Hudson River State Hospital (HRSH) in Poughkeepsie, New York, has been earmarked for redevelopment since it was bought by the Hudson Heritage Company in 2005. By that time, most of the beautiful High Victorian Gothic buildings had fallen into disrepair and many were left vacant due to safety concerns. Preservationists were sated by plans to rehabilitate as much as possible of the original architecture in the controversial Hudson Heritage project.
Several fires took place at the Hudson River State Hospital
Throughout its history, the hospital has been plagued by a series of fires. An article in the Poughkeepsie Evening Star of February 17, 1937, reported on the second fire in two years, stating that the fire in HRSH’s south wing “Endangered 950 Patients” because there weren’t enough fire escapes. Another fire made headlines in the 1960s, which required the affected wing to be built following the disaster.
