It’s not home yet, but it’s a huge step! I hope I explained my injury well enough. I’m not a doctor so if I don’t explain something perfectly please forgive me. When the injury happened the situation was quite challenging in many ways but in the end, the situation was brought back into control. Again, thank you Dr Tom Hackett 🙏🏻❤️ Now I will focus on rehab and progressing from a wheelchair to crutches in a few weeks. It will take around a year for all of the bones to heal and then I will decide if I want to take out all the metal or not, and then go back into surgery and finally fix my ACL. It will be a long road but I’ll get there. At least I’m out of the hospital 🙌🏻💪🏻 Love you all 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️".

The Department of Education announced Monday that it was giving two more of its responsibilities to other agencies as the Trump administration makes moves to shutter it.
The change comes after the Trump administration announced last year that it was giving the department's responsibilities to five different federal agencies, consisting of the Departments of Labor, Interior, Health and Human Services and State.
Washington, D.C., U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro's office has reportedly stopped pursuing a criminal case against six Democratic lawmakers who participated in a controversial social media video last year, sources told NBC News Monday.
The decision comes after the Justice Department suffered a setback earlier this month by failing to secure a federal grand jury indictment against the video's participants. The 90-second video featured six prominent Democratic lawmakers who were either veterans or past members of the Intelligence Community.
President Trump has already indicated that Tuesday's State of the Union Address will be long, because there is a lot to talk about. Last year, in his address to Congress, which was not considered a State of the Union address because he had just taken office, he spoke for about 100 minutes.
