The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool has become an almost too-perfect metaphor for Donald Trump’s presidency.

He promised a quick, cheap fix.

“Switzerland’s foreign ministry said U.S.-Iran talks scheduled to take place at Bürgenstock on Friday would not proceed as planned.”

NewsNation: What happens now that the US-Iran peace deal has been called off?

“President Trump has said he’s not sure whether he will renew the six-year-old United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement. While many view the president’s threats as a negotiating tactic, they are still causing concern among members of Congress whose districts depend on the agreement.”

“Yet here’s the irony: Donald Trump’s disastrous Iran war has delivered a huge boost for renewable energy around the world — except in the U.S.. Trump has so far done more to shift the global economy away from fossil fuels and towards renewable energy than any other single individual in history.”

“The holiday is enduring by becoming quieter, more internal and routine.”

“Juneteenth remains a federal holiday, and President Trump cannot cancel it unilaterally despite his attacks on it.”

“Over the past decade, a health gap has emerged in the United States. While extensive research has examined how factors like income and education shape health outcomes, political ideology has largely been overlooked—until now.”

“The runoff, a feature of Maine’s ranked-choice voting system, was necessary because none of the candidates in either primary received more than 50 percent of the vote.”

“The U.S. military says 13 of its members have been killed.”

“Israel renewed attacks on Lebanon on March 18 as part of the wider war, and about 3,700 people have been killed there, according to Lebanon’s health ministry.”

“It’s a particularly delicate period, but Trump remains deeply volatile. The negotiations will test the “madman theory” of foreign policy the president leans on: assuming adversaries will cave because they don’t know how far he will go. They will also test whether U.S. officials can reach mutually agreeable terms when their boss might shift the goalposts at any time — an especially significant task given how massive the global cost of resuming conflict with Iran has become.”

“In a midterm cycle with fewer likely competitive districts due to redistricting, what happens in as many as six competitive border districts could help determine who controls the House for Trump’s final two years in office.”

“Now, his own journey — from near Wigan in the north of England to Downing Street — has begun.”

“The Mayor of Greater Manchester, who’s long harbored ambitions for higher office, gained a parliamentary seat in a standalone contest. That allows him to mount a leadership challenge against Prime Minister Keir Starmer, paving the way for Britain’s fifth premier in less than four years.”

The latest episode of Trial Balloon is live.

Has the GOP finally has a midterm message — or just a fresh set of burns.

Washington Post: “The victory returns Burnham to the House of Commons where he served 16 years and sets the stage for a leadership challenge in coming weeks that could make him the prime minister. Under the U.K.’s parliamentary system a new national election is not needed.”

“From acceding to Trump’s demand for White House ballroom security funding — before reneging due to GOP opposition — to fast-tracking the president’s nominee for director of national intelligence only to have Trump pump the brakes, Thune has seen that even when he does what Trump wants, the favor is rarely, if ever, returned.”

“Thune has taken it in stride, flashing some anger here and there. But his relationship with Trump has clearly taken a hit.”

“Now that work is coming under scrutiny after algae blooms have come back and turned the iconic pool in Washington a vibrant shade of green rather than the American-flag blue Mr. Trump says he chose.”

ABC News: Some of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool liner appears to be falling apart.

Asked what he’d learned from the war about the limits to his power, he said: “There are no limits.””

He added: “I haven’t learned that lesson yet. I know there are, but there are no limits.”
