.@NormEisen, attorney for former Olympian David Hern: "Today, Davey Hern pled not guilty — because he is not guilty. If Mr. Hearn can be charged with a felony for touching the reflecting pool, every American is at risk and every American should be alarmed at this prosecution."

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

Let me be very clear: I am not here to defend Graham Platner. Democrats should not make excuses for him.

But the absolute hypocrisy from Republicans right now is breathtaking.

These are the same people who have spent years defending, excusing, worshipping, and politically resurrecting Donald Trump, a man who has been accused by dozens of women of sexual misconduct, was found liable in civil court for sexual abuse, and still became the face, soul, and standard-bearer of the Republican Party. They did not abandon him. They did not demand accountability. They did not say “character matters.” They put his name on flags, hats, trucks, churches, and ballots.

So yes, hold Platner accountable. Hold every Democrat accountable. Hold every public figure accountable. But do not let Republicans cosplay as the guardians of women, decency, or moral standards when their entire political movement is built around protecting one man from the consequences they demand for everyone else.

#BREAKING: Psaki: “Do you remember last year when Trump announced his massive across the board tariffs…He called it liberation day, it actually led to a stock market crash. That liberation day announcement was made on April 2nd of last year, and Trump’s financial disclosures show that he made 327 stock purchases six days later, on April 8th, while the market was down…So he makes those purchases on April 8th. The next morning, just after the market opened, he told his followers on Truth social: ‘THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY.’ Hours later, he paused his tariffs and the stock market had a historic rally, so historic in fact, it represented the biggest single day gain in the history of the Bloomberg billionaires index. To put it simply, it appears an official act by Trump cratered the stock market. Trump then bought the dip and then used another official act to bring the price of the market back up. Trump of course insists that all his stock transactions are handled by his two adult sons [@EricTrump & @DonaldJTrumpJr] without his involvement or knowledge of the individual trades carried out on his behalf. When asked about the timing of these specific trades, the White House told us tonight that President Trump only acts in the best interests of the American public, saying there was no conflict of interest. The White House also directed us to the Trump Organization. We’ve reached out to them, but we haven’t heard [anything] back.”🤦‍♀️

crazy how this case and the prairieland 9 aren’t getting more attention. do people not realize what’s happening? the trump admin is rounding activists up for doing nothing except nonviolently opposing their fascism. if they can do it to these people they can do it to you too.

Today, I introduced a resolution to honor the crew of the USS Liberty. 59 years ago, Israel attacked the ship, killing 34 Americans and wounding 174.

The President should declassify and publicly release all files related to Israel’s unprovoked attack on the USS Liberty.

Another one of @MirandaDevine’s favorite sources is going to jail.

Miles Guo got 30 years yesterday for a billion-dollar fraud.

He was Steve Bannon’s business partner. Together they built GTV. GTV pushed the doctored photos and smears about me. They built the Laptop from Hell narrative. Devine made it famous. Guo even had a Mar-a-Lago membership.

He joins Alexander Smirnov. Six years for fabricating the Burisma bribery story that drove the impeachment inquiry against my father. Smirnov admitted he made it up.

And Gal Luft. Still a fugitive. Indicted for acting as an unregistered Chinese agent after paying a Trump adviser to push Beijing’s line in public.

All three came after me and my father. All three are liars and frauds. All three served the interests of Donald Trump. And they are just the tip of the iceberg.

Follow me on Substack where I’ll be sharing the whole story soon.

When something breaks, most of us replace it. At this Brooklyn repair cafe, volunteers are helping neighbors fix everything from lamps and jeans to vintage fans and old smartwatches for free. The events are part of a growing global movement to reduce waste, save money and bring back repair skills that many people say have been lost.

Tonight I plan to give Notice of Intent to bring forth a Privileged Resolution this week to force the release of all names of U.S. Representatives who have used your tax dollars to settle sexual misconduct claims.

Do you want your Representative to vote for this disclosure?

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

Tonight, I gave Notice of Intent to bring forth a Privileged Resolution to force a vote on releasing the names of Congressmen who used taxpayer funds for sexual misconduct settlements.

The Speaker has two legislative days to consider the timing of the vote. Stay tuned.

I found the product they used for the pool (chosen by the Trump admin. and not the contractor)
The adhesion window is 8-10 hours, after which it will delaminate and separate.

Walk-on time is 24-36 hours.

The 10T motorcade drove over it WHILE IT WAS STILL CURING.

This is an attorney asking all attorneys to step up. He is representing all those whose constitutional rights have been infringed by ICE, and is asking for partners. He’s also doing it for free. Please spread this everywhere.

[James Henry @Jameshenry1970]

As a DC9 union painter with 30+ years in coatings, I’m looking at the failure not a conspiracy theory.
When a coating is lifting off in large sheets like this, that points to an adhesion failure: improper surface preparation, contamination left behind, the wrong coating system, poor recoat timing, or water introduced before the system fully cured.

A quality two-part epoxy system can perform well but the product is only as good as the prep and application. The substrate has to be properly profiled/cleaned, the specified primer or first coat applied correctly, recoat windows followed, and the full system allowed to cure before being put back into service.

That is not “vandals.” That is a coating failure that deserves a real independent inspection and an explanation of exactly what system was specified and how it was applied.
