Months of work, condensed into seconds. Watch the transformation of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool as crews drained, repainted, and refilled one of America's most iconic landmarks ahead of a busy summer season in Washington, D.C.

How did a 101 year old Iwo Jima veteran manage to sing the best national anthem at a nascar race in years?

He just sang the song. And made it about the country and not himself. Much respect to that gentleman. 🇺🇸

While I might not agree with every decision that Terry Francona makes, I LOVE having him as the Reds manager

On this day 53 years ago, Pink Floyd released 'The Dark Side of the Moon' in the UK. One of the greatest albums ever made—time, money, madness, all wrapped in epic sound. Still blows minds half a century later.

FACT CHECK: MURDER RATE

In his 2026 State of the Union, President Trump said, "Last year, the murder rate saw its single largest decline in recorded history. This is the biggest decline, think of it in recorded history, the lowest number in over 125 years." A CBS News fact check has determined that is true.

Why is this even questioned? WOW
