Olympian Charged Over Trump’s Green Slime Mess Enters Plea

Kevin Carter / Getty ImagesA former U.S. Olympian has denied damaging the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in the days after its floor was painted blue. David Hearn pleaded not guilty Thursday to a felony destruction of property charge after prosecutors accused the three-time Olympic canoeist of “forcefully and violently” ripping up the bottom liner of the landmark, causing more than 1,000 in damage. He was released on a personal recognizance bond and is due back in court Aug. 5. Hearn has repeatedly rejected the allegation, telling The Washington Post after his arrest that he “didn’t vandalize anything.” He later told the Daily Mail the accusations were “completely unfounded” and said, “I didn’t rip, tear, destruct, destroy, or harm in any way, any part of the reflecting pool.” His attorneys have accused prosecutors of trying to “provide political cover” for the Trump administration after the landmark’s renovation was followed by algae problems, peeling material, and public criticism. Hearn said he only touched a “loose flap of coating” out of curiosity, adding, “We’ve already heard many lies from this administration. That’s just another lie.”Read it at The HillRead more at The Daily Beast.

New video of ICE killing in Houston sparks outrage: 'People need to start getting charged'

Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers have justified the killing of 52-year-old Houston man Lorenzo Salgado Araujo by claiming he rammed their vehicle with his own and attempted to run down an agent. But new footage casts serious doubt on their version of events.Salgado Araujo, a Mexican national, lived peacefully with no criminal issues in Texas for 35 years before the incident.The footage in question appears to show ICE had no damage whatsoever to the vehicle they claim was rammed in the attack — throwing the entire sequence into question, as commenters on social media noted.Video shows the moments before ICE shot a worker who lived for 35 years in the United States, wrote David J. Bier of the libertarian Cato Institute in a post to X. It appears to show it was ICE attempting to initiate contact with his vehicle, not the worker attempting to 'ram' ICE agents.Cold-blooded murder, wrote Norm Ornstein of The Atlantic.These people need to start getting charged with homicide, wrote Iowa-based independent writer Gavin Aronsen.This comes after the well-publicized Minneapolis incidents at the start of the year, when the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti during protests against President Donald Trump's federal takeover of the city similarly had footage contradict the claims of ICE agents.

'Spectacularly Stupid': Reflecting Pool Becomes Hellhole After Trump Fireworks Disaster

President Donald Trump's massive July Fourth fireworks show fouled the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, choked Washington with record air pollution, and sent dozens to hospitals. Trump's nonprofit Freedom 250 launched nearly 850,000 fireworks shells from 10 sites on the National Mall — including the Reflecting Pool itself. Best fireworks show, EVER! Trump wrote on Truth Social after the display. The morning after, workers were wading waist-deep in the pool to scoop out burned debris floating across the murky green water. Scorched fireworks casings and netting were piled along the walkway by the dozen. The cleanup continued into Monday, when photos showed a large amount of trash in the Reflecting Pool. Shooting off fireworks next to the Reflecting Pool was a spectacularly stupid idea, D.C. photojournalist Joe Flood wrote on X. This is the result. Washington briefly became the city with the worst air quality on earth after the 40-minute show. Officials issued a Code Red alert, warning the air was unhealthy for seniors, kids, people with medical conditions. read more
