Geez, next thing you know we’ll be finding out the Reflecting Pool algae was a naturally occurring phenomenon and not a form of aquatic chemical warfare launched under cover of darkness by a team of highly trained, radical antifa frogmen.

I doubt it’s possible, but I wish this man could sue Trump, Pirro and everyone involved into dust. The federal government upended an innocent American’s life, and there should be a cost.
Scott MacFarlaneFLASH: Justice Dept seeks to dismiss Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool criminal case against former Olympian David Hearn Trump Admin acknowledges: "Damage to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in June 2026 was the result of flawed installation by the contractor"
This is basically South Park's "Blame Canada" come to life.
Aaron RuparQ: Can you rule out that Iran is behind the water attacks? TRUMP: I don't think so. I think that Minnesota is behind it. You know who is behind it? Minnesota. Because they're grossly incompetent. I don't think there was an Iranian cyberattack. I think Minnesota ought to get its act together.
The beautiful thing about this profoundly embarrassing scene is that for all the ass kissing, for all the gushing praise, Trump is incapable of ever actually feeling happy or satisfied. He is eternally miserable, justly so.

I don’t let the feeling linger, but there are moments when I think people are immensely fed up with stupidity and the Democrats are going to absolutely blow the doors off the GOP in the midterms. It’s a fleeting feeling, and I’ll never be confident. But it happens.

This is horrendous. It’s all horrendous, really. @willbunch.bsky.social has been doing outstanding work shining a light on the cruelty our government is getting away with. The shame will be eternal.

It seems Donald Trump would make a better plumber than a president – his poll numbers are so far down the toilet they’re touching porcelain. My column on the marvelous the width and breadth of Trump’s unpopularity: www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...
Trump's approval is circling the toilet. I'm delighted. | OpinionA wave of new polling shows the width and breadth of Donald Trump's unpopularity. If you're a Republican, it ain't good.www.usatoday.com1/ This is great reporting by @justinbaragona.bsky.social at Zeteo. And it's a perfect launching point for something I've been meaning to rant about. There is an ongoing belief in many news organizations that there exists a large, gettable conservative audience.
Justin BaragonaNEW: Under Bari Weiss, CBS News has shifted to the right to try to grab some of Fox News' audience. Not only have they failed to do that, but they've driven off so much of their core audience that CBS Mornings is now perilously close to getting beaten by Fox & Friends. zeteo.com/p/mamdani-de...

Nicholas GrossmanHouthis firing at Red Sea ships and Saudi Arabia. Iraqi groups fire drones at Saudi Arabia. US and Saudi Arabia bomb PMF/KH targets in Iraq; reportedly kill some IRGC too. Drone attack on a shipping hub in Egypt. Looks like Iran activated its network of militias, unlike in the pre-MOU fighting.
Finger squarely on the pulse of matters a majority of Americans care about.
