I stood at this pool, at both monuments and saw both reflections… He’s a God damn idiot, as are the fools that support him. The “Reflection Pool” wasn’t designed by American architect Henry Bacon a hundred years ago to look like a swimming pool. It’s designed to have a darkened characteristics that has reflective qualities to reflect the monuments. That way, the Washington Monument is reflective to you when at the Lincoln Memorial, and when at the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial is reflective to you. It’s designed to enhance the grandeur of monuments, create an illusion of reflection, and inclusion of expansive space of unity. He’s a tacky vulgar person that vulgarizes everything he touches. America isn’t becoming great, it’s becoming vulgar. Credit - Mathew Reed

The Boss opened the show with the 40-year-old song “War.” Until this tour, he had not played “War” since 2003.

I talked a dad who told me he spent $10k a year on travel baseball between tourneys, travel, and gear for his son. He got a partial scholarship to D-2 school. If he had put the $10k in a mutual fund each year, he would have had about $190,000. The scholarship was $5k a year.

“WE NEED TO LET THEM DO INSIDER TRADING TO FEED THEIR FAMILIES.” Congress makes $174k. Median income is about $63k. Minimum wage is $7.25. If your “public servant” needs Wall Street crime to survive, that’s not a government, that’s a cartel. Welcome to neo-feudalism. You’re the peasant, they’re the aristocracy.

The end of East Potomac Park as we know it. The Trump deal to take over Hains Point will create new, better golf course - but end 3-4 miles of riverfront land for running, biking, grilling, chilling. Best cobyline possible: @JoeHeim @RickMaese washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/…

Kentucky Derby scores largest audience on record, per preliminary numbers. Viewership milestones are nothing new for the Derby, but in the current era of Nielsen measurement, it is now setting those marks by ever-greater lengths: sportsmediawatch.com/2026/05…

BREAKING: Maryland becomes first state to ban AI ‘dynamic pricing’ in grocery stores. This means 49 other states still allow it. Dynamic pricing already runs airlines, hotels, and rideshares. Groceries are the next frontier. Here's how it works: Grocery stores use AI, digital price tags, and cameras to track YOUR behavior. Then they set the price based on what they think YOU will pay. Not what the item is worth. AI technology is making this possible: - Digital shelf tags that update in real time - Aisle cameras that track shopper behavior - Apps that shift from search-based to predictive - AI that learns your purchase history, income signals, and price ceiling - Real-time cart tracking to spot when demand is surging The store's AI takes all of that and figures out YOUR price. Not the market price. Not a fair price. YOUR price, based on what you're willing to pay. This is terrifying. This manipulation is pure greed. Maryland just banned it. The Protection from Predatory Pricing Act makes it the first state to outlaw dynamic pricing in grocery stores. Technology should serve us. We should not serve technology.

#BREAKING: Psaki: “For months now Democrats have been demanding answers from the Treasury and the Justice Department about Trump’s $10 BILLION lawsuit against the IRS. Late last week Reuters reported that the Justice Department and the IRS are actually in talks to SETTLE that lawsuit. So, the Justice Department run by Trump’s former personal lawyer Todd Blanche, is negotiating with Trump’s IRS…negotiating over how many of your tax dollars they should give Trump.”🙄🤦‍♀️

GREAT NEWS! The fences are down and the Tidal Basin path from the Jefferson Memorial to the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial is open! Raised & improved as part of the Tidal Basin Seawall Rehabilitation Project, the new walkway is bordered by hundreds of newly planted trees. Please stay on the path and don't trample the saplings. See you soon! #WashingtonDC

This is ludicrous on every level. On-the-moment surge pricing will gradually slip into pricing based on your credit score (like car insurance) or pillage those on SNAP or seniors on fixed incomes. Almost no one will pay significantly less.

So businesses raised their prices to offset the tariffs, we the consumers paid those higher prices, and now those same businesses can get reimbursed from the government for tariffs we already covered for them by paying higher prices?? And *they* get a refund and we don’t??

$83,414: Winning bid tonight at @RRAuction for a full, unused ticket from Ford’s Theatre stamped to April 14, 1865, the night Abraham Lincoln was killed. Wild price paid for a ticket never intended to be used (like a modern day proof). PSA will not grade it.

I’m no fan of beaming players or head hunting but a nice rib shot is an appropriate response here to McCormick ,after being a douche to the first baseman

Authoritarian propaganda alert

The Wizards haven’t won 50 games in a season since 1978-79 They haven’t played in a conference finals game since 1978-79 (longest drought in American sports) They have exactly 50 wins in their last 250 games (3 seasons) They have the worst win % in the NBA from 2000-2026, 2010-2026 and 2020-2026 They were 1 lottery ball away from Zion, Wemby & Flagg Gilbert Arenas pulled out a Glock in the locker room on Christmas Eve Instead of signing Kevin Durant in 2016 they signed Ian Mahinmi John Wall slipped in his bathtub and shattered his Achilles right after signing a $250 million supermax and never played another game with the team They drafted Kwame Brown They drafted Jan Vesely over Kawhi. Vesely retired with more fouls than points They wanted Steph Curry but traded the 5th pick in 09 for Randy Foye instead They officially have the worst record in the NBA again and if Adam Silver gives this team the 5th pick there will be legitimate riots in DC

Amazon found a way to charge 200 million people for something they already owned. Twice. Step 1: Insert ads into a product people were already paying $139/year for. Step 2: Charge $2.99/mo to remove the ads you just added. Step 3: Take away 4K, which was free for years. Step 4: Charge $4.99/mo to get it back. Total time: 26 months. Total new revenue at even 15% conversion: $1.8 billion per year. The genius is the sequencing. No single step is outrageous enough to cancel over. You don't cancel Prime over $3. You don't cancel over $5. You definitely don't cancel over 4K because most people don't even notice the resolution downgrade until they watch on a big screen. Amazon needed $3.6 billion per year in new revenue to cover NFL and NBA rights. They got halfway there by selling people back their own product one feature at a time.

Insanely beautiful train station like this had the capacity to see 216 trains daily, and only sees six now per week. Six.

They are trying to bankrupt the Park Service so they can sell the parks off to the highest bidder. This kind of cut could close smaller Monuments like Tuzigoot and Montezuma's Castle and severely harm the large parks. Communities around the parks rely on tourism.

The administration who convinced an entire generation of Americans to not go to college and pick up a trade instead has now decided they’re going to shut down the nations largest trade school who trained and educated the entire generation of Americans who were told not to go to college.

Moises Alou toughened his hands to prevent blisters and calluses by urinating on them. Steve Carlton soaked his pitching hand in pickle brine. Others used sea water. If Lodolo hasn’t tried any of those old-school remedies, a pickle piss brine with sea salt sounds like a remedy.
