Ivanka Trump has spent the majority of her time in Washington cosplaying as a person who cares deeply about women’s empowerment. So even though she only cares about the advancement of one woman in particular, and uses her influence to mug for the camera and post the subsequent photos to Instagram like an influencer shilling Crest Whitestrips, you might think, in light of the events of the past two days, that she would at least release some milquetoast statement about how America belongs to all people, and her father has spent two years making the country great for everyone. You know, because women are her thing, and her racist dad just told four democratically elected congresswomen they don’t have the right to weigh in on how the U.S. government should be run, and also that they should go back to the third world hellholes from whence they came. But apparently, she can’t be bothered:

Almost two years after Charlottesville, when Mr. Trump refused to condemn white supremacists after their deadly clash with a crowd protesting them, presidential statements widely condemned as racist are still putting White House officials in the awkward position of having to defend comments they privately wish Mr. Trump had not made. But they are also causing less heartburn in the West Wing than they used to.

After Charlottesville, Ivanka Trump, the president’s daughter and a White House adviser, issued her own statement on Twitter, saying there was “no place in society for racism, white supremacy and neo-nazis.” It was a notable corrective to her father.

On Monday, Ms. Trump declined to comment on her father’s latest remarks, which even some Republican lawmakers called “racist and xenophobic” and demanded an apology.

To be fair, Ivanka was a bit busy today, what with a jam-packed schedule of congratulating a company for hiring 25 workers (out of the 125 they pledged), and seemingly trying to take credit for Accenture’s retraining initiative (which was started about four years ago). And hey, maybe she was addressing the matter behind the scenes, like when she reportedly insisted to Gary Cohn after Charlottesville that her father was not a racist and didn‘t say any of the things he said at a press conference with cameras rolling.

Also strangely silent on the matter? Jared Kushner, who insisted last month that his father-in-law has never expressed a racist sentiment in his life, though perhaps young Kush is cooking up something good. Watch this space.

Facebook will get around to protecting people’s financial information at a date TBD

Don’t worry about it, people. Would Mark Zuckerberg ever let you down?

Facebook said on Tuesday that Switzerland’s data protection agency will oversee data and privacy protections for its new cryptocurrency, Libra. But Facebook hasn’t reached out to the Swiss regulator, a spokesman for the agency told CNBC.

In his testimony before the Senate Banking Committee on Tuesday, David Marcus, the head of Facebook’s digital-currency project, said, “For the purposes of data and privacy protections, the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) will be the Libra Association’s privacy regulator.” Asked about the agency’s role regulating Libra, Hugo Wyler, head of communication at the FDPIC, said in a statement to CNBC: “We have taken note of the statements made by David Marcus, Chief of Calibra, on our potential role as data protection supervisory authority in the Libra context. Until today we have not been contacted by the promoters of Libra. We expect Facebook or its promoters to provide us with concrete information when the time comes. Only then will we be able to examine the extent to which our legal advisory and supervisory competence is given. In any case, we are following the development of the project in the public debate.”

The 2020 election may include a septuagenarian physical fitness contest

Asked during an MSNBC interview on Tuesday what he would do if Trump started attacking his age or mental state, Joe Biden told Mika Brzezinski he’d say, “C’mon, Donald. C’mon, man. How many push-ups do you want to do here, pal? I mean, jokingly...C’mon. Run with me, man.” Confronted with a similar question during an interview with the Washington Post, Bernie Sanders said he would challenge Trump to a mile-long race, which we think the senator from Vermont might have a chance at winning, despite the White House’s claims that Trump is the fittest president to ever live and will probably be doing sub-four-minute miles at age 150.
