  1. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🏛️🟢 When the #LincolnMemorial #ReflectingPool turned green with #algae after a $15 million renovation, officials reached for #chemicals and expensive #technology.

    But a #freshwater ecologist explains that #nature offers cheaper, longer lasting solutions. Tiny #crustaceans called #Daphnia and rooted aquatic #plants can control algae by consuming it and absorbing nutrients before blooms form.

  3. American health has never been in safer hands

  4. So now the Reflecting Pool has a sign up saying "DANGER: EXPLOSIVES" on the fence.

    These people really don't know what to do with anything except bomb it, do they?

  6. "John Oliver discusses the unique and creative ways Donald Trump continues to waste money on the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, how the redrawing of congressional maps is thumbing the scale of the 2026 midterm elections, and how he is proudly making a desperate pivot to become a soap opera star."

  8. The nation's bridge trolls smell blood (and other stuff) in the water on the Reflecting Pool. This includes my crew.

  10. How to save the Reflecting Pool...

    Kidding of course, I just think I'm funny. 😆

    The diagram is to help comrades in a water emergency or if distilled water is needed for an emergency medical reason.

    Please share if you find it useful. ❤️

  12. Donald Trump’s Swamp

    “Observers are noting that the #ReflectingPool fiasco, in which #Trump created the idea there was an emergency, ignored experts, bypassed normal procedures to give a wildly inflated contract to a crony, bragged about his success, ignored the problems, claimed his enemies had sabotaged him, and finally stationed troops around the landmark he had turned into a #swamp, represents the Trump administration perfectly.”

  14. So, about that saga of Trump’s reflecting pool...

    ft.com/content/bd2de41e-e682-4

    The headlines write themselves. The saga has become an all-too-perfect metaphor of Trump’s presidency: a murky reflection of grandiose unfulfilled promises, desperate blame-shifting, and some scummy truth eventually floating to the surface.

  17. What Trump REALLY wanted to do to people mocking his #ReflectingPool failure.

    Trump ordered cops to patrol the Reflecting Pool. He got the National Guard & a polite surveillance bot.
    But what he REALLY wanted was a chance to use physical violence against anyone who dared to even look at his corrupt failure.

    Video features #Robocop 's Enforcement Droid 209, a self-sufficient law enforcement robot programmed for urban pacification, which failed to follow directions.

  21. [Trump's] taste is horrifically tacky — we know that. It's his sense of entitlement that's hardest to bear. He thinks our past is his to rewrite; our present is his property to raze; and our future is his, period.

    Once the Felon-In-Chief is gone, we will need to implement a new infrastructure plan in his honor: Trump Teardown Week. And we will need to honor it until every last trace of his gaudy guano is gone.
