A moving truck was spotted outside of Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner's Washington, DC mansion on Thursday.
The truck — a College Hunks Hauling Junk vehicle — could very well just be for trash disposal, but could also suggest that the couple is on the move.
The pair reportedly dropped $32 million on an empty lot on a high-security private island in Miami last month.
Known as Miami's "Billionaire Bunker," the tony private island Indian Creek boasts its own police force and a number of ultrawealthy residents, which may soon include the president's daughter and son-in-law.

Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump have been living in a 7,000 square-foot mansion in the ritzy Kalorama neighborhood of Washington, DC since early 2017. The residence reportedly costs them $15,000 per month in rent and features modern finishes and sky-high ceilings.

Weeks before Joe Biden's inauguration, they might be moving out of it.

Hunter Walker, a DC-based reporter for Yahoo News, posted a photo to Twitter on Thursday, showing what appears to be a moving truck outside the couple's Kalorama home.

The vehicle in question, a bright orange truck emblazoned with the well-known College Hunks Hauling Junk brand, could very well just amount to the couple getting rid of unwanted items - but could also signal that the couple is gearing up to leave DC following Wednesday's insurrection.

Trump received extensive criticism for a tweet during the insurrection that appeared to refer to rioters as "American patriots," which she quickly deleted.

Last month, Kushner and Trump reportedly dropped $32 million on an empty lot in Miami's "Billionaire Bunker," tony private island Indian Creek. The island boasts its own police force and a number of superstar residents - the couple bought the property from Julio Iglesias.

The couple would be the latest in a long list of those fleeing big cities for Florida amid the pandemic.

The list includes Kushner's brother Joshua and his wife, supermodel Karlie Kloss, who reportedly bought a $23.5 million mansion nearby in August. Both properties are within an hour-and-a-half drive of "the winter White House," Mar-a-Lago, where President Donald Trump is expected to decamp following the end of his term.

The White House didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from Insider.

Isolated Chicago communities secure money for a coveted transit project before Trump takes office
Adella Bass dropped her in-person college classes because it was just too hard to get there from the far South Side of Chicago, where the city's famous elevated train doesn't run. The Biden administration notified Congress last week that it would commit $1.9 billion toward a nearly $5.7 billion project to add four new L stations on the South Side, the Chicago system’s largest expansion project in history. The pledge, which the Federal Transit Administration is expected to formally sign before President Joe Biden leaves office in January, essentially locks in current and future funding.

Winter is hitting Gaza and many Palestinians have little protection from the cold
Winter is hitting the Gaza Strip and many of the nearly 2 million Palestinians displaced by the devastating 14-month war with Israel are struggling to protect themselves from the wind, cold and rain. There is a shortage of blankets and warm clothing, little wood for fires, and the tents and patched-together tarps families are living in have grown increasingly threadbare after months of heavy use, according to aid workers and residents. Shadia Aiyada, who was displaced from the southern city of Rafah to the coastal area of Muwasi, has only one blanket and a hot water bottle to keep her eight children from shivering inside their fragile tent.
