Trump’s Personal Law Firm, the DoJ, Drops their Frivolous Charges Against Ex-Olympian in Reflecting Pool Case

U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro, AKA Boxed Wine, dropped charges against former Olympian David Hearn, because:  a 20-page court filing that additional documents provided by the Interior Department since the indictment of David Hearn show that the damage was the result of a botched installation by a contractor as well as “the rush to complete the project prior to events associated with the America 250 celebration in the weeks surrounding Independence Day 2026.”

David Hearn’s defense attorney: “The administration owes Mr. Hearn an apology.”

Of course The Dipshit in Chief disagrees:

Start the clock. Now that Pirro has admitted the reflecting pool was Trump’s fault, who lasts longer? Pirro, or explosive diarrhea lettuce.

Hackers targeted municipal water systems in 7 states this week, FBI says

The federal warning comes after more than 30 water facilities in Minnesota were breached.

Cyberattacks targeting municipal water systems have been reported in at least seven states this week, prompting the FBI and the Environmental Protection Agency to warn utilities nationwide that hackers are trying to disrupt critical water infrastructure.

In a public service announcement Thursday, the agencies said water and wastewater utilities have reported incidents to the FBI, with some malicious activity degrading water operations. The announcement does not name the states.

The warning comes after hackers targeted more than 30 municipal water facilities in Minnesota in an attack that had hallmarks of Iranian meddling, according to a law enforcement official. It is still under investigation.
