🚨 BREAKING: The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool is being drained.
Just days after refilling the newly painted "American flag blue" pool, crews are emptying it again after a major algae bloom turned the water green and reports emerged of blue paint peeling from the bottom.
Officials say they need to repair a broken water line, inspect the coating system, address peeling paint, and rethink their algae-control strategy.
A $15 million renovation was supposed to turn the pool blue for America's 250th birthday.
Instead, it turned green.
Now they're starting over.
It’s been over a year since the 2025 federal election.
Pundits say that the “honeymoon period” for the Liberal govt is over, & today’s polls still reflect that Canadians are backing what PM @MarkJCarney is doing.
People don’t want the attack politics of @PierrePoilievre#cdnpoli

BREAKING: Prime Minister Meloni of Italy accidentally caused an international incident at the G7 summit when she compared Donald Trump’s infamous body odor to sauerkraut, and the German prime minister demanded she apologize for the insult to German cuisine.
CNN at Reflecting Pool: This is the output from what's going on over there. And you can see it is clearly green. This is the water that the federal officials are saying is absolutely clear. It very clearly is not
There’s no doubt that Putin fears the return of his army home. That is why he is so afraid of the war ending without victory. And there will be no victory. He is physically afraid of his own army. That is why, if there is no ceasefire backed by specific security guarantees, he will return to war. And this time, others may be the ones under attack.
Today, Ukraine is de facto the second army of NATO – one that is not inferior to the second army in the world. And that is why NATO needs us – specifically us – de jure. This is already a fact recognized by all leaders. Putin will remain in the Kremlin until his death, and he has one goal: the restoration of the Soviet Union. Without Ukraine, this is impossible, and that is why things are so difficult for us.
From answers to journalists’ questions. (3/3)
Premier Doug Ford has received a legal letter after attacking an Angus Reid Institute poll as “fake.”
Plus, a new poll today puts the Progressive Conservative party in second place.

It's absolutely disgusting that Pierre will not attend Question Period unless the PM is there,
Carney is running a country that is his job, Pierre's job is LOO to attend QP.
Taxpayers are paying his salary, We do not pay him to campaign.
He works for us, not himself !
Trump said that Russia could have ended the war against Ukraine on the very first day if not for a Russian general who sent tanks to Kyiv "through the swamp."
🗣"They got stuck in the swamp, almost like in quicksand. It was mud, like quicksand. They could not move. If that general had just gone straight on the concrete highway, that speaks volumes. That is why war is always associated with risk. If he had just moved straight on the highway to the city, they would have been in Kyiv in four hours, and Ukraine would have been able to do nothing. This war would have ended in one day. This was four and a half years ago. It was a huge mistake. The general decided to go through the field instead of the road and highway," he said
I know Ukrainian roads are far from perfect but calling E40 highway (Kyiv-Chernihiv) “swamp” is a bit too much…

OMG Trump literally followed the Korean Delegation into the G7 Summit because he has no idea what he’s doing or maybe he just decided he wanted to be Korean now. Then he walked over and announces that he’s the Boss!
🚨UNBELIEVABLE: As millions of Americans are STRUGGLING, Trump has the audacity to brag about how luxurious his PLANE is:
“This plane was transformed into a flying White House at a level of luxury that nobody's ever seen before.”
This is a winning midterm ad for Democrats.
@Maks_NAFO_FELLA Doesn't he get daily intell reports? Oh no I forgot it clashes with the daily repeat showings of the Teletubbies doesn't it. The big fat orange nonce!
