It has to be embarrassing to be MAGA after spending weeks blaming “vandals” for the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool damage, only for the Trump administration to admit in court that it was caused by a “flawed installation” by the contractor.

Happy Birthday to the AMAZING Katie Phang!! Every single day, we’re in awe of your brilliance, integrity, and relentless fight for the truth. Here’s to another year of making a difference. We’re so grateful for you.
Not only did they absolutely beg for this, they made it so that “merit” was synonymous with being white so now you’re stuck with precisely the kind of moron who believes that. www.politico.com/news/magazin...
Navalny, in prison: “I don’t for a second regret it… the only thing we should fear is we’ll surrender our homeland to be plundered by a gang of liars, thieves & hypocrites. That we will surrender without a fight, voluntarily, our own future and the future of our children.”
They subpoenaed an 85-year-old man who has testified before Congress 250 times. They published his private diary first. Then screamed profanity at him for not talking. Six years of investigation. Zero charges. This is what having nothing looks like. www.JackHopkinsNow.com
The New York Times reports the U.S. dropped a 2,000-pound bomb on a family home in Iran, killing a husband, wife, and their 2-year-old son. The paper found no indication of a nearby military target.

"77% of Americans say economic conditions are overall poor. Is this the 'amazing economy' you thought you'd be boasting about?" HASSETT: "It looks amazing to me." 🤷🏼 Again: They only care about themselves.
“Should Max Miller resign?” Jim Jordan: “He’s a good man. I’m helping him get re-elected.” Kasie: “He’s accused of throwing boiling water on his ex, held a gun to her head, fractured their daughter’s collarbone…”🤔 Jordan: *stammers helplessly as she plays his Platner comments*
The people who falsely accused an Olympian of vandalizing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool are the same people telling you to trust them about the war with Iran
Let’s not forget that this illegal Reflecting Pool indictment was also overseen by Todd Blanche. He could have stopped this at any time, but he was a corrupt and willing accomplice to this fraud upon the court. How can any decent person possibly vote for this man as AG?
BREAKING: Pirro has dismissed the case against Davey Hearn for vandalizing the reflecting pool, saying that there's no way vandals could have caused the damage.
A win! The Justice Department has withdrawn the subpoenas seeking phone records and grand jury testimony from New York Times journalists. Always remember that public pressure makes a difference. Thank you!
U.S. Withdraws Subpoenas Issued to New York Times Journalists
A federal judge raised questions about the government’s handling of the subpoenas, which The Times called an attempt to intimidate the free press.
