Honestly, you could not write a better metaphor for this presidency if you tried.

Meanwhile the Interior Department’s social media reads like a North Korean state broadcast, breathlessly hailing the dear leader while crews stand vacuuming algae off the bottom.
And when it inevitably falls apart, they blame the water, the weather, the paint, political opponents, and anyone but the people holding the brush.
A no-bid contract handed to a guy whose price ballooned past $14 million and counting.
Cheap materials and no plan for what happens when it dries.
A reflecting pool is supposed to show you the truth. This one does.
Trump promised a fresh coat, bright and bold, American flag blue, covering everything that came before. The reality is paint clumped, peeled, and curdled into a swampy green sludge, floating in ugly little islands across the water.

Today we celebrate that hard-won liberty and recommit to the work of justice that remains.
Juneteenth marks June 19, 1865, the day enslaved people in Galveston, Texas finally learned they were free, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. Freedom delayed, but freedom won.
Recognizing that day as a national holiday was long overdue.
5 years ago this week, I was proud to cast a vote of real historical significance. In 2021, the House passed the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act. I was honored to be among the 415 members who voted yes.
The next day it became law, the first new federal holiday since Dr. King’s in 1983.
A billionaire pays, and the President delivers. American workers and businesses pay the price.
Open the bridge. A government should work for the people, not for whoever writes the biggest check.
Every dollar.
And the United States already owns half of it for free. Trump is holding up a bridge we got for nothing, to protect a donor who wrote him a check, while picking a fight with our closest ally and biggest trading partner.
This is corruption in plain sight.
Hours after that, Trump announced he would block the new bridge. The opening was set for June 12. It got canceled the day before. The bridge sits there finished and empty.
Now here is the part that should make every taxpayer angry.
Canada paid for the entire bridge.
The family that owns the old bridge stands to lose business when the new one opens. So in January, they gave one million dollars to a pro-Trump super PAC.
Weeks later they met with Trump’s Commerce Secretary.
He called Trump.
A brand new bridge between Detroit and Canada is finished and ready to open. It would speed up traffic for millions of trucks, cut delays for American businesses, and help the auto industry that employs people in every state. There is just one problem.
Donald Trump won’t let it open.
Here is why.

Scientists at Trump’s EPA say they are being told to make chemical risks “disappear on paper.”
When a safety test shows danger, supervisors reportedly ask them to keep shrinking the scenario until the poison looks safe. Senior scientists reassigned to paperwork.

The lack of information and utter disrespect from this White House to Congress is truly disgraceful.
But based on everything we know so far, we spent lives and treasure to get back to roughly where we started, with the central danger still unaddressed.
Meanwhile the deal text is apparently a page and a half, and we are being asked to call this a victory before anyone outside the room has seen the terms.
I will keep pushing for a real classified briefing where all of our questions can be answered.
What this agreement mainly does is reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
But the strait was open the day the war began.
Iran closed it to gain leverage.
Trump went to war and the headline result is undoing a problem Iran created in response to that war.
