We are out with friends last night having dinner and this topic came up and the guy is an engineer from Canada He shook his head and started laughing and said this is all Trump’s fault because he had his entourage drive over while they were doing the polymer application Polymers take days to fully cure So I just checked And yes, he did. He owns this “The blue polymer coating was actively being prepared and applied at the time. When the motorcade drove across the concrete floor on May 7, 2026, the pool was not just empty and clean; workers were in the final stages of applying the "American flag blue" polyurea liner and industrial coating. The primary issues surrounding the drive include: •Active Installation: Paint and structural experts noted that heavy trucks, equipment, and the multi-ton presidential limousine drove directly over the surface while the coating was being prepared and applied. •The Curing Process: A core theory from chemical and engineering experts is that the weight of the armored vehicles compromised the layer before the polymer had properly set and cured, creating micro-fissures that later allowed water to seep underneath and peel the paint”

Burgum on the reflecting pool: "When people are using boxcutters to do vandalism on this thing it's the same as if they were throwing paint on Lincoln's statue in the eyes of the law. We've had seven arrests."

🚨BREAKING: The drained Reflecting Pool did not reveal any slices. Instead, tire marks were visible, obvious damage from Trump’s vanity drive in a fleet of 10-ton vehicles for no reason at all. He ruined his own project, then lied and blamed the citizens who paid for it.

ICE is beyond repairing. We can't reform our way out of this. Strip it down to the studs and start over.

Cillian Murphy pays tribute to his 'Peaky Blinders' co-star Sam Neill “Like everyone who knew and worked with Sam, I admired him and adored him in equal measure. He was one of the kindest, funniest and gentlest people... and one of the finest actors. RIP"

Kerry Kennedy
Kerry Kennedy@KerryKennedyRFK·
The U.S. has had a complicated and often troubling relationship with the International Criminal Court (ICC) from the very beginning, but the newly launched State Department's campaign under Rubio's leadership goes much further: it seeks not simply to reject the Court’s jurisdiction, but to dismantle an institution created to hold perpetrators of the world’s gravest crimes accountable. And what has become a signature approach of this Administration: to bully our allies into joining that effort. International justice is not a threat to sovereignty. Impunity is a threat to humanity. The world needs strong, independent international institutions capable of holding perpetrators accountable when national systems cannot or will not act. No country, however powerful, should be above the law, and no victim of genocide, crimes against humanity, or war crimes should be denied justice because accountability has become politically inconvenient. The U.S should be strengthening the international system of justice, not working to destroy it. state.gov/releases/offic…

Agreed! It’s not perfect, but I was very afraid while watching it. I cannot think of a single film or television show in which Neill had a role that didn’t succeed in some fundamental way (and many did in many ways). I suspect that the presence of Neill was often the thing that made them work.

The Sting@TheStingisBack·
With Omen III, Possession, and In the Mouth of Madness, Sam Neill became an unlikely horror icon, and then there's Event Horizon. I know it has issues, but the cast is fantastic, and the whole “Hellraiser in space” vibe works for me. Fishburne’s final reaction here is priceless.

My former colleague from Wisconsin, @RepRibble, co-wrote an excellent op-ed on the dangers of the SAVE Act. Reid is a Republican, and even he agrees this bill goes too far. It's already illegal for non-citizens to vote. The SAVE Act would instead make it harder for eligible Americans to register and vote, especially women whose current legal name does not match their birth certificate. time.com/article/2026/0…

Senator Dick Durbin
Senator Dick Durbin@SenatorDurbin·
I’m announcing today that Liz Oyer and Dani Bensky will be the Democratic witnesses in opposition to Todd Blanche’s attorney general nomination. Liz Oyer served as the Justice Department’s nonpolitical pardon attorney. She was fired by Blanche for refusing to rubberstamp gun ownership rights to Mel Gibson, a convicted domestic violence abuser and friend of Donald Trump. Dani Bensky is a brave survivor of Jeffrey Epstein’s horrific crimes. Her name has been included in multiple batches of released Epstein Files, due to Todd Blanche’s failures. She’s attempted multiple times to redact her information without success. They will offer compelling testimony about the dangers of Todd Blanche weaponizing the Justice Department in service of Donald Trump, rather than the American people.

These two women are perfect choices—because of what they have experienced due to Todd Blanche’s disregard for the laws he was tasked with defending as well as his lack of integrity more generally but also because both of them stand in stark contrast to Blanche. In the face of awful circumstances that were beyond their control, they chose the harder path; they chose to speak up & speak out for what is right & just. I wish I were more optimistic about the Republicans’ willingness to listen to what they have to say. But whatever the outcome of the hearings, it will be a good thing for the country to hear about who Todd Blanche really is from two people who are vastly superior to him.

Donald Trump is at war with our democracy and Georgia is ground zero. But this is John Lewis’ Georgia. We are not intimidated. We are not moved. Mr. President, instead of attacking our democracy, why don’t you do something about the high cost of gas, housing, and health care?

41 years ago today, Dire Straits took the stage at Live Aid 1985. Performing between U2 and Queen, they delivered a flawless set: "Money for Nothing" with Sting and "Sultans of Swing." Mark Knopfler's guitar work was incredible. Still an iconic moment in rock history. 🎸 Videos👇
