The Interior Department employs some of the best biologists (and botanists) in the world, so there should have been immediate and effective (based on science) action taken on the Reflection Pool algae fiasco. But, I suspect that the Trump Administration's consistent "anti-science" posture precluded pursing that course of action... DOGE might also have fired all the green-algae experts in the Department...
IMO, the scientists likely made the proper suggestions, but were given an impossible timeline for completion. When the paint and seal job took longer than expected, no one had enough awareness to consider the algae growth brewing in the pipes that would refill the Reflection Pool. Normal filtration methods wouldn't have been enough for that stagnated water. And now it sounds like they're going to repeat the same failure!
Maybe when your uncle is finally in prison, he can be forced to read this column and others like it out loud on national TV every day. This between hours of his daily "affirmations" that he will be forced to write out over and over: "I, Donald J. Trump, am a criminal and a LOSER, have always been a criminal and a LOSER, and will never be anything but a criminal and a LOSER. I would have to live to be about 5,000 years old to serve enough time for all the crimes I have committed. I am repulsive to women. I have failed at every business venture I have ever attempted. Most of the world hates me, and with good reason" and other similar statements.
The following really happened to me. The surrounding details aren’t important here:
I found myself sinking in the equivalent of quicksand. The one thing about quicksand that you need to learn REALLY FAST is to stop what you’re doing and think. Continuing to try walking simply sucks you down deeper and deeper! Now is a time that it’s really, really important to stop, breath and reassess things.
Democrats, Republicans and Independents we all need to stop the insanity and THINK as if our life depends on it. Forget all the animosity, name calling and prejudices. Stop watching and listening to entities that promote animosity or negative viewpoints Start listening to opinions that are different than yours. YOUR and your children’s lives may depend on it. The worst that could happen is we all feel and live better, happier and less stressful lives.
If you wish to dive deeper you will probably enjoy the following link with references to stories (even Dr Seuss) and historic examples of this divide and conquer process.
I would call it a win if the country has free and fair elections and we move on from the incompetence and lack of knowledge/expertise but I just don’t see it happening. Republican Senators would need to relocate their morality and constitutional obligations, the military would need to understand what an illegal order is and have this understanding widespread. It will get worse before it gets better ( if it can get better). Maybe Europe can help us. Especially the “non-brilliant” ones.

You’ve outdone yourself here!!
Absolutely!!!
Donald Trump vs. Science. How could one man be so dumb (and that's spelled with a "b".)

Flaring up again Mary!
Great commentary Mary. Thanks for all that you do.
President Donald J.Trump is the greatest. He is the greatest Thief, Traitor, and Liar in history.
The greatest game ever:
Isn’t televised.
Has 342 million players.
The players don’t know they are playing.
Designed for both team to lose.
What is it? It’s called “Divide and Conquer”
The teams are Republicans and Democrats.
The winners are the Oligarchs.
