In the old USSR, people could be arrested for photographing bridges, tunnels, etc. A repressive and paranoid regime assumed the photographers must be spies and saboteurs. Americans laughed at such petty tyranny. Nothing like that could happen in their free country! Until now.

Lawrence mocked “grim faced” Rubio as he watched trump’s stupidity sink his presidential hopes: “trump&Rubio have spent years lying about Obama’s deal w/Iran. Now they’ve proved two things—how strong the Obama deal was&what relentlessly incompetent losers Rubio&trump really are.”

@BulwarkOnline Gen Hertling is being kind. JD Vance has read plenty of books and knows he's lying to the American public.

But that's how they figure they're going to keep Congress.

Gen. Hertling on JD Vance comparing the negotiations ending WWII to Trump's Iran negotiations: "It’s a total disregard of history…None of these individuals have read an old book."

[NYTPitchbot @DougJBalloon]

Middle East analysts say Trump's deal with Iran is a humiliating defeat for the United States. A guy who shits himself in public and thinks windmills cause cancer says it's an amazing foreign policy triumph. For busy Americans, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Trump's deal with Iran is 95% done. All that remains to be negotiated is Iran's nuclear program, the opening of the Strait of Hormuz, and the unfreezing of Iranian assets.

28 years and Hegseth cancels it. This isn’t anti-DEI. It’s hate designed to push them out of service. — Air Force cites DEI ban in cancellation of wreath-laying honoring women vets https://t.co/Lu6vBCVJ8R

[John Jackson @hissgoescobra]

I want to give you guys some facts about General Chappie James. He wasn’t a “DEI” hire—he was a complete badass that had to overcome MORE than any white pilot. Did 178 combat missions—that’s like 7 bomber tours on a B-17 in WWII.

His medal count? Impeccable. 3 Distinguished Flying Crosses, 14 Air Medals, Two Legions of Merit, and a Defense Distinguished Service Medal. One of the original Tuskegee Airmen, the first four-star African American General.

Hegseth couldn’t sniff the level of soldiering and warrior that was in Chappie’s DNA. God bless him. And Hegseth took down his picture from a hallway like a racist little child, which is what he is.

The White House lawn was once treated as a place worthy of care and respect. Now it’s being turned into a sponsored UFC spectacle for Trump’s birthday.

@BillKristol looks at the vulgar, tacky, grandiose symbolism of this moment, and what it says about the republic.

The tactics you need to employ in order to get an elephant to behave in this fashion are so horrific I can’t post them.

If this were 30 years ago, I still wouldn’t accept it, but I would understand that perhaps people didn’t know what goes into this sort of training.

Now, there is no excuse.

🚨 BREAKING: Internal Interior Department and National Park Service documents reportedly show bubbles, pinholes, and uneven blue coating emerging during Trump's rushed Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool renovation.

The stated purpose of the project was to stop leaks.

But officials reportedly documented defects in the waterproofing layer itself:

• Bubbles and trapped air
• Pinholes and small holes
• Uneven, mottled blue coating
• Sections requiring rework

That's not just an aesthetic issue.

Pinholes and blistering are exactly the kinds of defects that can compromise a waterproofing system and shorten its lifespan.

The administration sold this as a fast, beautiful fix.

The documents reportedly show crews scrambling to correct quality problems while racing to meet a politically driven deadline.

A project intended to stop leaks was reportedly battling defects in the leak-prevention layer before it was even finished.
