Reminder that NY-10 is *the most Jewish district in America*, and voters still rejected pro-Israel incumbent Dan Goldman by 30+ points for Brad Lander, who called Gaza a genocide and wants to cut off all weapons to Israel.

Trump: "A friend of man who's extremely fat, sloppy, but very brilliant. He's a brilliant businessman but he's a slob."

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

A note to my friends who still back Trump:

I am not here to dunk on you. I am writing because you have a working brain, and this story insults it.

The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool got a $14 million paint job. Shortly thereafter the water turned green and the new “American flag blue” coating started peeling off the bottom in sheets. Trump says vandals did it. He claims, without evidence, that someone took a knife and cut a 300-foot slit, a number that grew to 350 feet while he was still talking.

Back on May 4, Trump bragged about that same coating and said, if you had a knife, you could not even cut it, so strong, like powerful rubber. He cannot have it both ways.

And the green water?

A George Mason scientist tested it and found ordinary, non-toxic algae, the kind that blooms in any shallow sunny pool. To fight it, crews dumped hydrogen peroxide into the water.

Hydrogen peroxide is also a paint stripper.

That, not sabotage or vandalism, is the obvious reason the paint came off. They wrecked their own paint job, then blamed phantom vandals for it.

The lone "vandal" they paraded is a 67-year-old Olympian who touched a flap of paint already peeling on its own.

Here is the thing. If they will look you in the eye and lie about something this small, something you can see with your own eyes, ask yourself what else they are lying to you about.

Again, you have a working brain. People like Karoline Leavitt are counting on you to stay loyal instead of exercising independent thought.

Prove them wrong.

We checked again and still no sign of a 350-foot gash as President Trump alleges. Our @CBSMornings 🌞 report:

[Spiro’s Ghost @AntiToxicPeople]

The latest completely deranged rant on this reflecting pool. Lets analyze just how fucking insane this has gotten:

The utterly demented and criminally insane POTUS—who is completely obsessed non-stop with this stupid fucking nonsense—wants Americans to believe that invisible forces/people made gashes LONGER THAN A FUCKING FOOTBALL FIELD without anyone noticing or it being caught on camera.

The new heights of the amount of sheer delusion involved in being forced to believe what their cult leader says seems to be the point of this exercise for brainless MAGA cult members. The made up nonsensical number has changed in the last 48 hours from 250 feet to 300 to now 350.

Is this completely insane pathological lying? Is this dementia related confabulation, its own category of delusion that he truly believes? There is no way to tell the difference anymore with this extremely mentally unwell man. Either way, his psychotic obsession with this nonsense and need to spew out stuff that on its face is batshit crazy made up nonsense would land anyone else in a psych ward.

Do you remember the popular '80s movie that @cyndilauper provided the theme song for?

[Rogue POTUS Staff @RoguePOTUSStaff]

The Reflecting Pool arrests by Park Police should terrify everyone. The federal government is fabricating accusations out of thin air simply to protect one man from his own embarrassing failure.

There is no sabotage. This is insane.

[EU says Elon should not lie abt my blue check @emptywheel]

Understand: Trump is having random police departments arrest these people to COVER UP how his corrupt contracting fucked up the reflecting pool.

These arrests are a criminal cover-up of Trump's own corruption.

For the last 13 years, the Bush Center has proudly carried the flag as the “new kid on the presidential center block.” Today, the @BarackObama Presidential Center takes on that role. On behalf of all of us at the Bush Center, congratulations to the @ObamaFoundation team. Take it from us: once the pomp and circumstance of opening passes, the real fun begins: serving the American people and guests from around the world. We’ll be cheering you on from Dallas!

Obama: "The Founders fell terribly short of the declaration's promise, leaving slavery in tact, allowing states to restrict the franchise to white men who owned property. But in drafting a constitution and bill or rights, they did have the foresight -- the genius -- to provide us with a framework that allows each generation to make our union more perfect."
