I hate waking up to this fire hose of bs from Trump and his goons, every single day.

A Texas jury has delivered a decisive verdict in a case that once ignited national outrage and dominated headlines.
Five years after a classmate accused Asher Vann of racially motivated bullying at a sleepover, jurors awarded Vann — now a college freshman — $3.2 million in damages, finding that false claims and a viral narrative caused severe emotional distress and invaded his privacy.

Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser has declared a local emergency and asked the federal government for help cleaning up hundreds of millions of gallons of spilled human waste in the Potomac River.
On Jan. 19, a 72-inch diameter sewer pipe collapsed near the Clara Barton Parkway in Maryland. It dumped hundreds of millions of gallons of human waste into the River, according to the D.C.

Before it collapsed, that sewer line carried up to 60 million gallons of waste daily from Virginia and Maryland to a water treatment plant in D.C.

The United States has assembled the largest concentration of airpower in the Middle East since the 2003 Iraq invasion — deploying two aircraft carriers, advanced stealth fighters, refueling tankers, and layered missile defenses into theater — as multiple U.S. and Israeli reports warn President Donald Trump could authorize strikes on Iran “as soon as Saturday,” with talks described by American officials as “very far apart” and even a “near nothing-burger.”
Senior U.S. officials told CBS News that the military is prepared to launch strikes this weekend if ordered, with one official describing planning conversations as “fluid” but indicating forces are in place.

The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday night that Washington is assembling “the greatest amount of air power in the region since the 2003 invasion of Iraq,” including additional F-35 and F-22 stealth fighters, F-15s and F-16s, airborne command-and-control aircraft, and dozens of refueling tankers essential for a sustained campaign.
A second carrier strike group led by the USS Gerald R. Ford is moving toward the Mediterranean to join the USS Abraham Lincoln, which is already operating in the broader region. Destroyers capable of intercepting ballistic missiles are accompanying both groups.

The New York Times noted that Patriot and THAAD missile defense systems — previously thin in theater — have now been reinforced to protect the roughly 30,000–40,000 U.S. troops stationed across the region.
