🚨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.

Truly a travesty. This is no different than if they ran a fence right up the middle of Yellowstone.

Trump just shrunk Bears Ears by 91% and Grand Staircase-Escalante by 90%. Bears Ears was the first national monument co-managed by tribes. Five tribes spent years building that partnership. It's been walked back. 100,000+ archeological sites now exposed to mining and drilling.

Average consumer prices are up a cumulative 5.1% since the month Trump returned to office. As of June, they were up 3.5% since the previous June, exceeding the 3.0% year-over-year rate Trump inherited. It’s true prices fell 0.4% between May and June as gas prices fell after the Iran war-related spike, but now gas prices are rising again; regardless, “nobody else could do it” is an interesting claim about a decline from a spike caused by the president’s own war.

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island on Saturday alleged that whistleblowers have detailed several problems stemming from rushed or improper reconstruction of the Kennedy Center. to.pbs.org/4wEzleU

Sheldon Whitehouse's letter isn't a press release with adjectives attached. It's an eighty three page appendix of internal Kennedy Center documents, emails, and photographs, backed by firsthand accounts from multiple former project managers willing to put their names behind what they saw. That's the kind of paper trail that doesn't happen by accident. The specifics read like a checklist of what corner cutting actually costs. Steel columns rusting through fresh paint. A reflecting pool that may need to be torn out and rebuilt entirely. An eight million dollar contract to replace the concert hall floor awarded, with no bidding process, to a firm with no prior experience working on concert halls. And the detail that captures the whole operation in miniature, a brand new bathroom floor torn out and redone because the president didn't like the tile color. Whitehouse's letter alleges the rush wasn't about serving the institution at all. It was about having renovations finished in time for Trump to accept a FIFA Peace Prize on site in December, timeline pressure imposed for a television moment rather than sound construction practice. A national memorial to a assassinated president, run like a private vanity renovation with a hard deadline set by ceremony instead of engineering. That's not an aesthetic complaint. That's public money spent badly because the schedule answered to spectacle instead of substance.

30-foot border wall panels are piling up across the Big Bend region. Communities, outfitters and ranchers will be walled off from the Rio Grande. Access to agricultural pumps will be cut off while new industrial wells suck already-stressed aquifers dry. And for what? Border Patrol data show that almost nobody crosses the border here. The only winners here are the politically connected contractors who will pocket billions while carving apart the wildest place left in Texas. This corrupt plan is rotten to the core. And yet Texas' senators remain silent, standing by and watching while the natural heritage and rural economies of their state are sacrificed for a wall that provides no discernable border security benefit.

Ask yourself why the SDNY is refusing to cooperate

House Dems demolish a bewildered Kelly Loeffler During a House hearing today, House Democrats repeatedly exposed SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler for being nothing more than a walking Trump talking point during exchanges like this: MARK POCAN: I think the problem is you're talking to rich people. Maybe this will help. Who pays tariffs? LOEFFLER: 80% of tariffs are paid by foreign countries POCAN: Okay. That would be like me saying I have long flowing red hair. It's complete BS. Small businesses pay tariffs. Here's a nearly 10 minute supercut of the Democratic grilling:

Austin Mayor Kirk Watson and Travis County Judge Andy Brown announced local disaster declarations ahead of potential flash flooding overnight Tuesday. 📹: Austin Fire Department kut.org/energy-environ…

Schiff: How is this even happening—that we’re contemplating the confirmation of this guy? The judge, in that decision on Monday, referred Blanche, basically, to the New York Bar Association because of his conduct. How is it possible that, after being referred to the bar association for potential discipline on Monday, we’re contemplating this guy for attorney general on Wednesday?

One month later, the tarps are still up at the Kennedy Center.

Companies that can afford to make millions in donations to the president's pet projects are rewarded with support, access and influence. That is textbook corruption: citizensforethics.org/reports-invest…

Trump just stripped protections from millions of acres at Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monuments. Indigenous people have fought for these sacred lands for generations. The Trump administration is once again handing our sacred homelands and public lands over to billionaires and corporations. I've fought for these lands before — and won. We're not stopping now.

ALERT: 30-ft steel border wall bollards are arriving in Big Bend. Staging areas are being cleared, unpermitted groundwater wells are being drilled, survey crews are swarming. All to spend billions to wall off the Rio Grande in a place virtually nobody crosses the border.

Judge Williams didn’t just rule against Trump…she referred his lawyer to the FL bar & sent her order to the bars of Todd Blanche & Stanley Woodward Blanche’s AG confirmation hearings start Wed. & Senators should read every page of her order first👇-TN cnbc.com/amp/2026/07/13…

The Strait of Hormuz was opened every single day of the eight years of the Obama administration. And we didn't have to bomb anyone to achieve that goal. Iran also never acquired a nuclear weapon in those 8 Obama years. And we didn't have to bomb anyone to achieve that goal.
