CNN: CNN independently took the sample of water and consulted with the pool store that regularly tests water to help read the results. It showed phosphate levels far higher than what is recommended to keep algae at bay, based on estimates for a pool that holds 6.5 million gallons of water.

“If there's already some phosphate fertilizer in the water, that's really opportunistic, especially for the blue green algae that can fix nitrogen. So they are having a field day out here.”

Nothing says “morning motivation” like fresh drone footage of Russian oil refineries doing their best impression of a $500 million bonfire.

Keep the fireworks coming, Ukraine — best reality show on the internet right now! 🔥🇺🇦

Billionaires, tech oligarchs, Trump officials, and foreign government officials attending a secretive summit to learn cult building, prepping for World War 3, and sex tips, should be getting attention — especially since no one from the Epstein files has faced justice.

Trump was able to quickly put together $300 billion in recovery money for Iran after he decided to bomb it.

He stood in Swannanoa NC not far from my house in October 2024 and said he’d build back bigger, better, more beautiful, and faster than Biden after Hurricane Helene inflicted $60 billion in damage in the Blue Ridge . . . and then he went MIA.

Imagine if @realDonaldTrump cared as much about rebuilding Western North Carolina for Americans as he does about rebuilding Iran for Iranians.

Russia's fuel crisis now threatens the country's agricultural industry, with the Legislative Assembly of Russia's largest region Irkutsk saying "there will be no grain" as the entire region now faces an imminent collapse in agriculture due to farmers' inability to purchase gasoline and diesel.

The Reflecting Pool is green.

The White House is a construction zone.

The Rose Garden is a concrete patio.

The South Lawn is dead.

The Kennedy Center is draped in tarps.

Trump really knows how to make Washington look great.

The G7 Summit in France delivered important results for Ukraine. Most importantly, we agreed on additional strengthening of Ukraine’s air defense. There will be new steps to put pressure on Russia over its war – pressure for the sake of peace. Our partners will ensure support for our defense and energy resilience.

It is important that we have a shared understanding of the main challenges and concrete steps to respond to them. Our global unity is truly reducing Russia’s ability to continue this insane and criminal aggression against Ukraine. I thank everyone who is helping us!

"The kids came running in with tears in their eyes... Can you imagine how traumatic this is for them?" - a coach on the Russian strike on an equestrian sports school in Sumy region.

Three horses were killed, with one still trapped under the rubble. Among them was a horse that had recently returned from a national competition after winning an award.

More than ten other animals were injured.

Poor horses. Poor kids. Poor staff. This is heartbreaking.

Oh, look at that. Turns out the ballroom is being funded by taxpayer dollars after all.

Welcome to Donald Trump’s America. Where families and people living on the edge have lost healthcare, can’t afford groceries, are losing their homes, and barely getting by—and the President is using your taxpayer dollars to build a guilded ballroom and host cage fights on the White House lawn.

That $600 million that could have helped support seniors or feed kids—but this is where their priorities lay. We won’t forget.

In this photo there is a Princeton University graduate and a Harvard Law School graduate.

Michelle Obama is both.

CBS has been forced to pay a fine after Stephen Colbert played an unlicensed Peanuts song on air during his last episode.

The owner of the rights to Peanuts has donated the fee to José Andrés' charity, World Central Kitchen.

The leaked Iran deal that is floating around suggests that this is a pretty simple transaction: we are paying Iran billions to reopen the Strait. Period. Stop.

That's probably why they are refusing to release it.

Oversight and Judiciary Dems visited Ghislaine Maxwell’s prison today, it is essentially a pristine park with fountains and ample green space. She’s the only convicted sex offender there. Why did @DAGToddBlanche move her here? This isn’t justice.

The only thing this pool reflects is how poorly this regime spends U.S. taxpayer dollars.

Someone looked through an FPV drone camera, saw an elderly woman in a wheelchair, and decided to kill her.

An 87-year-old woman and her son were killed by a Russian FPV drone in Nikopol. Police are still working to identify a third victim.

[UAVoyager🇺🇦 @NAFOvoyager]

💔 Nikopol. Absolute barbarism.

A russian drone murdered an entire family in a deliberate strike on a city street.

Three civilians were killed. One of the victims was a person in a wheelchair.

This is deliberate terror.
This must not be normalized.

We have a 92 year old Senator Chuck Grassley shaping our judiciary and Justice Department for an 80 year old president. Neither one of these men will have to live in this world they are making.
