- The U.S. Secret Service raised the water level of the Ohio River to ensure safe navigation for Vice President JD Vance's kayaking trip on his 41st birthday.
- Critics, including Richard W. Painter, condemned the operation as wasteful taxpayer spending amid budget cuts for public services.
- The Army Corps of Engineers confirmed that downstream stakeholders were informed before the temporary outflow increase occurred on August 1, 2025, and it did not negatively affect them.
- JD Vance's office stated he was unaware of the arrangements made for the kayaking trip, as the Secret Service often acts without informing him or his staff.
