Two unrelated controversies have emerged involving media reporting and public art projects.

HuffPost drew criticism on social media for a report that suggested only Protestant service members could attend a Good Friday service at the Pentagon, while Catholics were excluded. The report prompted backlash from users who questioned the accuracy of the characterization.

Separately, Providence artist Ian Gaudreau said his planned mural honoring Iryna Zarutska, a Ukrainian refugee who was killed, has been canceled. Gaudreau attributed the cancellation to opposition regarding Elon Musk's involvement in the project, though specific details about Musk's role were not provided.

Zarutska was among the Ukrainian refugees who died during the ongoing conflict. The mural was intended as a tribute to her memory.

Gaudreau characterized the opposition to the project as coming from left-wing critics, though the exact nature of their objections beyond Musk's involvement was not detailed. The artist expressed frustration that the tribute project would not move forward as planned.
