Heather Cox Richardson describes Trump’s reflecting pool fiasco perfectly—it reflects him to the tee.

Observers are noting that the reflecting pool fiasco, in which Trump created the idea there was an emergency, ignored experts, bypassed normal procedures to give a wildly inflated contract to a crony, bragged about his success, ignored the problems, claimed his enemies had sabotaged him, and finally stationed troops around the landmark he had turned into a swamp, represents the Trump administration perfectly.

"Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe.
"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch!"
He took his vorpal sword in hand;
Long time the manxome foe he sought
一
So rested he by the Tumtum tree And stood awhile in thought.

Not saying I agree (or disagree), but here are his stated reasons:

Key Takeaways:
• Senate President Bill Ferguson said Maryland will not pursue midcycle congressional redistricting due to legal and political risks.
• Ferguson cited the 2022 court ruling that struck down Maryland's prior congressional map as unconstitutional partisan gerrymandering.
• Democratic leaders fear redistricting could jeopardize the state's current 7-1
Democratic congressional advantage.
• Ferguson warned redistricting could trigger similar moves in GOP-led states, worsening Democrats' national position.

Research in cognitive psychology shows that struggle leads to deeper learning. When learners grapple with difficult tasks, they are more likely to engage in deep cognitive processes, which result in stronger, more durable memories and skills (Bjork,

Well, there’s this…

In 2025 and early 2026, the Trump administration restricted access for several major news organizations, most notably barring the Associated Press (AP) from various events and the press pool due to editorial disputes over terminology. Other outlets, including Reuters, Bloomberg, and The Wall Street Journal, have faced reduced access or removal from pool coverage, with reports indicating a broader crackdown on press access by the administration.
