The only potentially abusive apostrophe I found was in “Fed’s”, which could be considered a contraction.

I was pleased to see (Sessions’). The writer actually knew how a possessive or plural use on a word ending in “s” works!

It is bad enough when folks misuse punctuation and grammar. That proper use can be thought by some to be incorrect shows just how poorly all that public education money has been spent.
