Trump’s DOJ issued a felony indictment over this. The contractor that renovated the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool told Trump that errors in its own work and flaws in the repair plan, not vandalism, caused the pool’s new blue liner to peel and break loose. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/11/c...

A mown path next to a field rises up a hill, under the tunnel of a leaning leafy tree. The tree is deep green and dappled with sun. The path and field plants are mostly brown, with a little green, consistent with late summer.
There are tree shadows across the path, then bright sun with a small roundish view of a bright blue sky with small puffy clouds.

#BirdoftheDay #Raptor From earlier this month at Attwater Prairie Chicken NWR, a Red-tailed Hawk takes off as I ventured a little too close for its comfort. #birds #originalcontent #photography 📷🪶
A hawk is rising from the top of a tree with its wings in a v-shape and its legs still touching the tree. The bird has reddish wings and a pale belly with brown streaks and spots. The background is a gray sky.
