The contractor that renovated the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool has told the Trump administration that errors in its own work and flaws in the repair plan, not vandalism, caused the pool’s new blue liner to peel and break loose, documents show.

Remember this is the law and order party. Ross Ulbricht is a convicted felon and the owner-operator of Silk Road, an online marketplace that facilitated the trade in narcotics and other illegal products and services. Trump pardoned him after he made substantial donations to MAGA.

Recruitment of small police agencies to 287g is not a coincidence. DHS specifically wants them to join because they are the most incentivized by the money. It's like a grant for rural police (who feel perpetually underfunded). www.inquirer.com/opinion/penn...

Not good. AP and Reuters now independently confirm the Houthis have taken Mayun/Perim Island and Dhubab, in addition to Mokha. Saudi forces struck Mokha airport after its capture. This gives the Houthis positions directly adjacent and on the Bab el-Mandeb chokepoint.

Perim is right in the middle of the strait, bang in the centre of the shipping lanes, with a captured resupply port in Mocha. While the Houthis claim they will only attack Saudi ships, this is a huge point of leverage for their backers in Tehran. BLUF: Big yikes. edition.cnn.com/2026/09/10/m...
