Trump promised $1.8M for the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. His "pool guy" (no federal contracts experience) got $14.6M. No-bid. The "woman-owned" company's owner? Eddie Wood. Liner peeled. Olympian got bogus charges. DOJ let him go & admits flawed installation. abcnews.com/Politics/doj...

California produced over half its May electricity from solar, a world record

New batteries to store solar electricity and low demand in May both contributed to high percentage of electricity that came from solar.

This is Melissa. Melissa found Rep. Jack Bergman. It wasn't in Louisiana but she did have to drive 200 miles. Bayou Jack consistently dodges questions from constituents & is condescending or dismissive when he answers. That's no way for an employee to treat their boss. Remember that in November.
