The reason Obama used water from the river for the reflecting pool and not city water is because city water is treated with orthophosphates, which is food for algae, causing massive blooms that produce cyanotoxins that kill wildlife.

Congress has pushed back the Senate Appropriations Committee held funding steady, and the House proposed only a 23% cut instead of 57%. But the damage from canceled grants and leadership chaos is already being felt at universities across the country.

Confidential memos by Supreme Court justices, obtained by The New York Times, show how they decided to bypass time-tested procedures and create the modern “shadow docket,” a rushed and secretive new way of doing business. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/18/u...

This is what happens when you have an incompetent fool with no experience in charge of the Pentagon. Pete likes to put on makeup and appear on camera, boasting about war and its warriors, while essential tasks, like making sure those warriors are fed, are not seen as flashy enough to bother with.

My god. Essential, horrifying reporting here.
A few days after the incident in which Amalia lost consciousness, Marcano brought her back to the clinic at Dilley. A staffer measured Amalia’s blood-oxygen saturation—which, in a healthy individual, is between ninety-five and a hundred per cent—and found that it was in the low fifties. “Such a low amount of oxygen going to the brain can, if it’s long enough, kill off parts of the brain—it’s really, really high-stakes,” Prantik Saha, a pediatrician who reviewed Amalia’s medical records, told me. “It’s shocking that this level of callousness and omission of care could occur.” Amalia was taken to a local hospital, where it became clear that she needed care beyond what the facility could provide. She was transferred to a larger hospital in San Antonio, where she was given five diagnoses: Covid-19, RSV, bronchitis, pneumonia, and an ear infection. She received supplemental oxygen and intensive care.

This is a favorite strawman of the Religious Right, asserting that the exact phrase "separation of church and state" isn't in the Constitution. They ignore that there are only three references to religion in the entire Constitution, all three of which work to separate church and state.

Blanche “used the 2-day interview to test whether and if so how Ghislaine would implicate various famous ppl, including Trump. After she declined to do that, even w/testimony that directly conflicted w/piles of records Blanche had in his possession, he rewarded her with … a transfer to Club Fed.”

The only reason why Ghislaine Maxwell would refuse to tell even the false claims she made with Todd Blanche adds to the evidence that Blanche was doing no more than locking her into a false story.

By granting a waiver on Russian oil sanctions, Trump is effectively aiding Rosneft, a company directly involved in Russia’s war in Ukraine. This reflects poorly on the United States and is a deeply questionable decision

Search-and-rescue crews were “flying blind” trying to rescue survivors from deadly tornadoes that hit the Midwest last week. Why? Because Kristi Noem hadn't approved FEMA’s $200,000 contract with a tornado-tracking tool. But she had time to spend $220 million on anti-immigrant ads. Priorities.

The most likely underlying cause was a decision by the Pentagon to use very outdated information to target attacks. (The school has been there for a decade.) A likely contributing cause is that Hegseth did away with the office that reviewed targeting to minimize civilian casualties.
