“Former Kennedy Center curator says he believes "real reason" behind closure is "financial decline"”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim attributes the belief that 'financial decline' is the real reason for closure to a former curator. While one web search mentions a former curator accusing appointees of 'dubious financial practices' and another mentions 'mismanagement,' none of the provided evidence explicitly quotes a former curator stating that 'financial decline' is the *real reason* for the closure. The evidence is suggestive but not directly corroborative of the specific claim.

“Secretary of Labor Lori Chavez-DeRemer resigned on Monday”
SINGLE SOURCE
Three cross-reference sources report that Secretary of Labor Lori Chavez-DeRemer resigned on Monday. However, the Wikipedia evidence provided discusses different individuals (Keith E. Sonderling) or general statements about Trump's presidency, and does not confirm the resignation of Lori Chavez-DeRemer. Since the claim is reported consistently across multiple cross-references but lacks external corroboration, it is marked as single-source based on the provided evidence set.
