Trump is now claiming there was a 300-*yard* gash in the reflecting pool
It’s not visible at all to @joeflood on site
A three football-field length gash that’s not visible to the naked eye
Update from the reflecting pool! The pool has been drained, and there are no signs of the giant gash that Donald Trump has been lying about. No indications of major vandalism. Just a bad paint job. The only thing that’s been exposed is that Trump has been lying about this.
Mike Johnson knows nothing and does nothing
During a press conference today, Johnson claimed "I don't know anything" about ICE killing a man in Maine yesterday despite the fact it was all over the news, then followed that up by punting a question about whether Congress should curtail Trump's war powers, saying "I'm gonna let the White House answer to that."
It was the latest reminder that Johnson is the most useless Speaker in the modern history of the House.
Here's a supercut of all the ridiculous things he said this morning:
Today the President of the United States officially paid a woman $5 million for sexually assaulting her. What an absolute disgrace this Nation has become under this administration.
Actual lol. Trump made $2.2 billion last year. $400K is nothing, but apparently enough to make the brainwashed say he’s a public servant who has sacrificed so much.
Trump finally paid E. Jean Carroll the $5.6 million he owed her after a jury found him liable for sexually assaulting and defaming her. I imagine it won’t heal her trauma, but a small measure of accountability for a lawless president is a reminder that it’s possible to get justice for his many crimes if we don’t give in. Good for her.

Grocery prices are high.
Gas prices are high.
Utility prices are high.
What are trump and Republicans focused on? Putting trump’s name and signature on as many things as possible.
November is coming.
This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days.
ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.
Predictably in Philly. Harper and Schwarber got thunderous ovations when introduced for the Home Run Derby while the other 6 competitors were vociferously booed. Ben Rice got the loudest boos. So good for him!
Judge Kathleen Williams in her blistering takedown of Trump slush fund:
"Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to mail a copy of this Order to the State Bar of New York, of which Acting Atty General Blanche is a member AND to the DC Bar, of which Assoc. Atty General Woodward is a member"
