President Trump said late Wednesday that the Senate striking down another war powers resolution “puts Iran on notice” amid negotiations between the two nations for a long-term deal to end the conflict in the region. “Wow! The Senate just changed its vote on Iran from 50-48 against, to 50-47 for,” the president wrote on Truth…
A policy of turning back asylum seekers at the border was rescinded in 2021, but the Trump administration wants the flexibility to reinstate it as a tool for border control.
CNN's Harry Enten shrieked in mock terror at President Donald Trump's abrupt about-face on signing a bipartisan affordable-housing bill to knuckle down on his bill to impose new restrictions on voting.The 80-year-old president caught lawmakers and staffers off guard by announcing just over an hour before the signing ceremony that he would not add his signature to the law until Congress passed his SAVE America Act, and the chief data analyst told "CNN News Central" that Republicans are likely horrified."You know, if I was a Republican member of Congress and I am listening to President Trump, the only words that enter my mind are, 'Oh God, oh God, no, what are you doing?'" Enten wailed. "That is because the issue has not gone away at all. Google searches for affordability, look at this, up 500 percent this week versus the pre-2026 average. In fact, they reach, you have it going across the top of your screen, reach an all-time ... high this week. So no, the issue of affordability is not going away.""There is a reason why Republicans wanted this legislation not just passed," he added, "but signed into law by the president of the United States, because this this is the issue, of course, that got Donald Trump elected in the first place, and they want to be able to give their voters something the are members of Congress something so that the voters, perhaps you know, don't vote them out of office come November."Host John Berman marveled at the finding about searches for affordability hitting an all-time high and questioned Trump's decision to abandon the housing bill for now, and Enten slammed the move."Great politics," Enten said, sarcastically."President Trump got elected to bring down inflation, got elected to fix the economy, in the voters' mind," Enten continued, "and do they think he's keeping his campaign promises? No, no, no, no, oh God, no, Trump kept his 2024 campaign promises. You know, you go back to April of 2025 among voters. The bare majority, but a majority nonetheless, 52 percent said yes, 47 percent said no, that 52 percent down to the ground now. Now it's 40 percent, while that percentage said no, it's up now it's the clear majority, 55 percent say that Trump is not keeping his campaign promises.""So when he is off yesterday, not signing that bill to help bring down, make housing more affordable, instead talking about the SAVE Act, this is what they're talking about, President Trump taking his eyes off the ball and not keeping his 2024 campaign," Enten added. - YouTube youtu.be

A Colorado-based storm chaser was visited by the FBI after cracking a joke about introducing algae spores into the "paint" a Virginia company used on the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. Patrick Pineda, a photographer of severe weather, motion designer and video game developer, cracked a joke on social media that was so scientifically absurd, he presumably assumed his audience would know it was a joke. The FBI did not. "I am the leftist who put algae in the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. This plan was months in the making. I introduced spores into the paint used by the contractors who repainted the pool. It was me the whole time," said Pineda on BlueSky.Right Wash, a professional render cleaning service, has a section on its website that explains that algae in a swimming pool can be eliminated by painting over it. It isn't the "best" solution for a number of reasons, it explains, but paint can eliminate an algae problem. But the pool wasn't merely painted. In a June release, Rhino Linings claimed it was the company that provided an epoxy primer, elastomeric waterproofing and a protective finish coating, tinted American Flag Blue. "This project demonstrates how modern protective coating systems can help extend the lifespan of aging infrastructure while reducing maintenance requirements and preserving public spaces for future generations," the company said. To cure, the epoxy needs a low-moisture and chemically hostile surface to adhere. Living organisms like algae need water, light, and nutrients to grow, Florida Atlantic University explains. It simply can't grow in paint, much less the chemicals used for the pricey lining used on the Reflecting Pool. A swimming pool expert explained that keeping algae out of the reflecting pool will be impossible unless the government uses strong chemicals, which could significantly damage the new liner.After coming into office, President Donald Trump appointed Kash Patel to lead the FBI. Among his first actions was to fire scores of experienced directors, agents, and other staff, the New York Times reported. It has left the department short-staffed. PBS News explained that this has left both the Justice Department and the FBI in a tough spot as it desperately tries to rebuild. According to Forbes, leaders are now "easing hiring requirements and accelerating recruitment in ways that some current and former officials see as a lowering of long-accepted standards." The report also said that some current and former agents "say the FBI is promoting into positions of leadership employees with less experience than would be customary for the jobs."
