Text from article: This also came as the Department of Justice dismissed its case against David Hearn, who had been falsely accused of damaging the Reflecting Pool. In court filings, Jeanine Pirro acknowledged there was no evidence supporting the government’s theory and that the damage resulted from construction failures rather than vandalism. The filing also exposed serious problems involving the Department of the Interior’s handling of the project. Frankly, none of this surprised us. We all knew the Reflecting Pool wasn’t damaged because of some elaborate act of vandalism. We knew the contractor had done a poor job, and now the government’s own court filing confirms it. What’s remarkable is how differently this administration behaves depending on whether it’s inside a courtroom or on social media. That’s the story of this regime. It also makes me think about how the same people who lied to the public about the Reflecting Pool continue to lie to the public about the Epstein files, the economy, the deficit, and virtually everything else. While they make grand claims about money supposedly pouring into America, our debt continues to climb, Treasury yields remain elevated, mortgage rates continue squeezing families, and millions of Americans are struggling to make ends meet. The lies never stop.

Heading and text from article: More War Crimes The New York Times has now confirmed through visual investigation what we have been reporting. The U.S. dropped a 2,000-pound bomb, one of the largest in its arsenal, on a home on Qeshm Island, killing a husband, his wife, and their two-year-old son. The Times found no military site anywhere near that house. Not anywhere close. This is a war crime, plain and simple, and Iranian officials are already vowing retaliation, describing it as a continuation of what they call American atrocities in other Iranian towns. From the bombing of a girls’ school to this, the U.S. keeps killing innocent civilians throughout this war. Was AI used for targeting during this strike too? Are they using the same AI bots that they used for their map of Africa which mislabeled every single country and put them in a random order with no relation to reality? That’s why I don’t laugh off these “mistakes,” like when the U.S. mislabels a map because they used AI. Because they are using these systems to make decisions of life and death.

Heading and text from article: Suspected Iranian Hackers Hit Water Systems In Seven States, Trump Blames Minnesota We covered this a bit yesterday, but I want to make sure you have all the latest info. Officials told the Wall Street Journal that suspected Iranian cyberattacks have now struck water infrastructure in at least seven states. The FBI issued a warning after roughly 30 water treatment plants in Minnesota were hit, forcing some utilities into manual operation and prompting boil-water notices. A memo obtained by WIRED ties the Minnesota attacks directly to Tehran. Trump decided to take Iran’s side in all of this, and blamed Minnesota for being, in his words, grossly incompetent, insisting Iran has bigger problems to worry about. Governor Tim Walz shot back that Trump knows exactly who’s responsible and knows other states were hit too, calling it exactly what modern warfare looks like. Given that Iran has been targeting U.S. water and energy infrastructure for years now, across at least seven states, it would be nice if the president at least pretended to care about protecting U.S. citizens.

Text from article: Sandy Weiswasser, 87, a retired teacher and volunteer who has been guiding visitors through the center for 18 years, was profiled in a Times article on the center, published on Monday. “This place used to be really thriving and busy and crowded,” Ms. Weiswasser was quoted as saying. “Now it’s a black hole.” Reached on Thursday, she declined to comment. Last year, Mr. Trump removed the Kennedy Center’s leadership, cut its programming and installed a handpicked board that had his name drilled into the building front. A court ordered the name removed last month. Audiences, performers and visitors have fled from the center, which has lost about 90 percent of its staff and, for now, 100 percent of its paying audience.

Text from article: But if they were really concerned about the negative effects of Trump’s war and his tariffs on their bottom lines, surely they’d be using their armies of lobbyists and piles of campaign contributions to stop his war and his tariffs. After all, that’s what the armies and piles are for. There’s a much simpler explanation for corporate America’s silence if not encouragement. In point of fact, both Trump’s war and Trump’s tariffs are helping their bottom lines. Trump’s war and his tariffs are allowing domestic U.S. producers to raise their prices to match the elevated prices of imports. And those who aren’t directly affected are using the higher import costs as excuses to raise their prices, too. Presto! — corporate profits have exploded, and their stock prices have soared. But American consumers are getting shafted. Both Trump’s war and his tariffs are pushing up prices for a vast range of goods and services. The result is a massive redistribution of income and wealth from American consumers to big American corporations.

Meme showing political journalist Jon Karl speaking on television. A text block has been added with the following text: “The Intelligence Community in the very documents that Trump himself declassified assessed that one of the most damaging things a foreign adversary could do would be to falsely convince the American people that their elections had been rigged. And here’s the irony. The person who has attempted to do exactly that over and over again, for nearly 6 years, and most dramatically on Thurs night, is Donald Trump, who, against the very evidence that he himself presented, tried to tell millions of Americans that foreign powers had corrupted an election, specifically the one election he lost.” - Jon Karl, political journalist https://www.threads.com/@setiodkaiba/post/Da_ilalkSgm
