Aquileo | DC Reflecting Pool Growing Algae Just Days After Trump’s $14M Renovation

Fri, 12 Jun 2026 17:44:19 +0000

The Reflecting Pool on the National Mall has already begun to grow algae just days after President Donald Trump’s major renovation project was officially completed.

The landmark has been the subject of controversy since the project began, with critics pointing to budget ballooning from a little under $2 million to a staggering $14 million. Trump contracted Atlantic Industrial Coatings for the project to be completed ahead of the celebrations for the 250th anniversary of America.

Aquileo | Opera company demands $17 million from Kennedy Center in explosive lawsuit

Fri, 12 Jun 2026 19:12:10 +0000

The Washington National Opera has filed a lawsuit seeking more than $17 million from the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, alleging the institution has refused to turn over funds that belong to the opera company following their separation earlier this year.

According to a lawsuit filed Thursday in the United States Court of Federal Claims and reported on Friday by The New York Times, the opera company claims the Kennedy Center has withheld money that includes endowment assets, donor contributions, and other funds collected on the opera’s behalf during the years the two organizations were affiliated.

“W.N.O. reluctantly files this case to preserve its future and to protect its donors and artists,” attorneys for the opera company wrote in court filings. The suit further argues that the disputed funds consist of donations accumulated over many years that are “critical” to the organization’s continued operations.

Aquileo | 97 January 6 rioters pardoned by Trump have been nabbed for additional crimes: report

Sun, 14 Jun 2026 11:50:44 +0000

Nearly 100 of the more than 1,500 January 6 rioters granted clemency by Donald Trump have allegedly gone on to commit separate crimes that include reckless homicide and child molestation, according to a new report by The Lawfare Institute.

The report found that 97 rioters pardoned by Trump were “arrested for and charged with — and in the vast majority of cases convicted of — other crimes,” a count “much higher than the public knew.”

“The alleged crimes by Jan. 6 defendants since Jan. 6, 2021, run the gamut from relatively low-grade offenses like property damage, possession of drug paraphernalia, and trespassing to serious felonies like grand larceny, stalking, planning to assassinate law enforcement officials and prominent politicians, and defrauding government agencies,” the report said. “One Jan. 6 pardonee was convicted in February 2026 of child molestation and sentenced to life in prison. Another was convicted in 2025 of reckless homicide.”

Aquileo | Trump’s $14M reflecting pool project couldn’t stop algae from blooming in the DC heat

Sun, 14 Jun 2026 20:53:29 +0000

Donald Trump’s $14 million Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool renovation couldn’t stop algae from blooming in the D.C. heat and turning the water a murky shade of green once again.

The unsightly hue plagued the pool just in time for an estimated 125,000 people to descend on Washington for Trump’s “Freedom 250” UFC fights on the White House lawn for his birthday on Sunday — despite work crews spreading chlorine pellets to try to deter algae growth.

The Washington Post reported that the bloom “expanded between Wednesday and Thursday amid wet and warm weather.”

Aquileo | CNN Reports $TRUMP Coin Value Drops 98% as 740k Lose Money

“If Trump was putting his name behind it, it must be a legitimate investment,” one woman told the news organization.

“This is a woman who spoke to Reuters,” Bash said. “She put $2,000 of her savings into the $TRUMP meme at the end of May. Her $TRUMP holding was worth less than $120, she now thinks it was just a pump-and-dump scheme. The second investor, Matt, a 45-year-old machinist in Indiana, put $40,000 into $TRUMP family tokens … Matt’s shares have dropped 79% in value since he bought them for a loss of about $32,700. He does not blame the Trump family.”
