Imagine using the National Guard to protect green algae but not US democracy on January 6.

Trump is sickening.

BREAKING: HE'S LOST HIS MIND! Trump is now ARRESTING people, including an Olympic cyclist, for just TOUCHING his precious Reflecting Pool and deploying National Guard troops to guard it from imaginary antifa vandals!

This is starting to get scary…

On Truth Social, Trump declared that “The United States Park Police have arrested multiple individuals for vandalizing our nation's magnificent Reflecting Pool. Who would do such a thing? These are very serious crimes having to do with the destruction of National Monuments. Years in jail!”

While giving no details about the arrests, reporters and eyewitnesses were able to discover that citations were being issued for simply *touching* the Reflecting Pool.

David Hearn, an Olympic cyclist, was finishing a bike ride and went to check out the Pool to see what all the fuss was about. He touched his fingers to the water to see what it felt like, and found himself ARRESTED on a misdemeanor charge of destruction of government property.

“I didn’t vandalize anything,” Hearn said. “I didn’t destroy or break or peel anything. By the time I realized what was going on, I was being put in handcuffs.”
This isn’t funny anymore. This is the stupidest tyranny that the world has possibly ever seen. Arresting someone for TOUCHING A POOL and then claiming they were destroying it?

Donald Trump is losing his mind, and he’s growing more and more authoritarian by the day.

This is a colossal misuse of public resources and flagrant abuse of state power in order to accommodate the paranoid delusions of a demented pedophile (alleged) and Congress needs to take action IMMEDIATELY to put a stop to this dangerous nonsense.

[Governor Newsom Press Office (parody) @AwesomeNewsom]

Trump blames the pool algae on vandalism. Yes, vandalism in DC is rampant. Last year vandals destroyed half the White House. Last week a gang of criminals ripped up the South Lawn and staged a fight club. A few months ago some cretin graffitied the Kennedy Center with his name!

I feel like everyone has forgotten that this is Rick Rizzs’ last season.

Our childhood memories will be all we have.

He carried the torch after Dave Niehaus passed, and now that era is truly over.

How blessed were we in Seattle to have experienced them. 🔱🔱

Today, my wife & I joined Donald Trump’s hit list. He has directed his Department of Justice to investigate us. They have not found a crime - they are simply trying to find one.

He isn't coming after me because of mean tweets, but because I am considering running for President.

He hates that I consistently call him out. He is simply the most corrupt President in American history.

We have nothing to hide. 

Mr. President, come after me. I am not going anywhere. 

The country is watching.

Taking home the SEAHAWKS SUPER BOWL RING! Seeing this in person was so surreal. I’ve been a fan as long as I can remember and watching the entire @Seahawks team work their asses off this season to earn this was incredible. Their dedication paid off and we’re Super Bowl champs, baby!! Shout out to @JasonofBH you killed this one. Feeling incredibly proud to be a 12!!!!!

[Seattle ON Tap @SeattleONTap]

Never thought this moment was going to lead to a Super Bowl WIN in the same year for the Seahawks.

Still can’t believe it. What an awesome ride.

A federal judge has voided President Donald Trump’s requirement of a $100,000 application fee for H-1B visas, ruling that he lacked authority to impose the new policy for a program used by companies to hire highly skilled foreign workers in specialized fields. https://t.co/P7mG2iCGkP

Rep. Nancy Mace tells Fox News Digital that she believes President Trump refused to endorse her in South Carolina's gubernatorial race because of her vote in Congress to push for the release of the Epstein files.

"If the price to pay for an endorsement was to not release those files, I would never pay it."

A 24-year-old Polish tennis player arrived in Paris last week ranked 114th in the world, with no sponsors, no guaranteed income, and no certainty she could even pay for her hotel room.

She had to win three qualifying matches just to enter the French Open main draw. Prize money is only paid at the end of the tournament, so a Polish sports drink brand quietly stepped in and covered her hotel bill.

Her name is Maja Chwalinska. And today, she plays in the French Open final.

Before this tournament, she had won exactly one Grand Slam main draw match in her entire career. She had battled depression so severe that in 2021 she couldn't get out of bed. She underwent knee surgery in 2022. She spent years grinding through small tournaments across Europe just to stay afloat.

Then she arrived in Paris, won three qualifiers, and kept winning. Zheng Qinwen. Elise Mertens. Maria Sakkari. Diana Shnaider. Nine straight matches. One set dropped.

She is now the first qualifier in French Open history to reach the final. The last time a qualifier reached a Grand Slam final, it was Emma Raducanu at the 2021 US Open. Raducanu won.

By simply making the final, Chwalinska has earned more prize money than her entire career combined. The runner-up cheque alone is $1.6 million. If she wins today, she takes home $3.25 million.
One week ago she couldn't pay for her hotel room.
