@ybarrap I would only add "and a domestic pariah".

(Drump is a national disgrace and both a national & international pariah).

Admiral (ret.) William H. McRaven: "In recent months, President Trump, upon advice from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, has relieved or forced the retirement of some of the finest officers that have ever served this nation."

For criticizing him, Trump opened an investigation into me for “treason.”

I’m not scared by that feckless thug. I’ve decided to call out his corruption louder than ever.

See you at the movies, Mr. President. No need to buy a ticket. We’re making this free for everyone.

🚨 The Utah Republican Party paid a firm $4.3 million to falsify the signatures of dead people.

The election fraud was conducted in an attempt to legalize gerrymandering in Utah.

Iran stands to make up to $450 billion off a potential peace deal.

Trump has already committed to an $18 billion upfront windfall before the deal is even finalized.

While full details are TBD, the proposal is objectively worse than Obama's JCPOA.

The cost of the Iran War has been massive. Direct military costs will likely approach $100 billion.

But the total could be closer to $1 trillion when long-term costs from inflation impacts, debt interest payments, and veterans’ benefits are included.

Went looking for the 300 foot “slit” or “slits” in the reflecting pool Trump keeps lying about. Didn’t find any of that. But did find plenty of signs the paint on the bottom of the pool has simply disintegrated. My latest pool report.

[Steve Rattner @SteveRattner]

Trump and his allies lambasted Obama’s Iran nuclear deal for a decade.

Yet their proposed deal is objectively weaker than the JCPOA: fewer conditions, more money for Iran, and less nuclear oversight.

This is ABC journalist Jonathan Karl’s video of the peeling paint that Trump claims implicated the reporter in a crime.

Looks like he’s simply doing his job.

Maybe the President should do his!

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Trump has turned the White House into a 24/7 corruption operation. This is a national crisis.

Trump thinks the public will stop paying attention.

So I went to the Senate floor to call his bluff. I told the ENTIRE STORY of his 500 days of corruption.

FACT: DOGE failed to reduce the federal deficit.

The deficit under Trump has remained near its highest level in American history outside of COVID: almost $2 trillion.

If you steal a paint chip it's 10 years in prison but take what you want from our Capitol, that's worth a pardon.

[Ted Lieu @tedlieu]

trump is lying

There is a 24/7 camera and potentially other cameras that show the Reflecting Pool.

If someone went into the pool and made a 250 foot gash, it would have been seen.

Also, there’s no evidence of a 250 foot gash.

[Stephen King @StephenKing]

Nobody is vandalizing the Reflecting Pool, and Trump knows it. This is a visible example of his corruption--a no-bid contract to some crony followed by sky-high cost overruns, and shoddy construction to boot. Classic Trump: I didn't fuck up, it was my enemies.

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.
