A report notes a decline in Medicaid and ACA enrollment by over 5 million due to Trump's healthcare bill and expired subsidies. Ohio's Catholic bishops criticize the Trump administration's termination of Haitian TPS as a 'moral failure.' A no-bid federal contract for the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool renovation, awarded to a company linked to Ohio businessman John J. Cafaro, has drawn scrutiny.

The Reflecting Pool at the White House turned green due to algae growth, prompting criticism of the Trump administration's handling of the project. Trump attributed the issue to sabotage but faced scrutiny over no-bid contracts awarded to Greenwater Services, a firm linked to his donor John J. Cafaro, whose work involved hydrogen peroxide treatments that may have damaged the pool's sealant.

President Trump ordered immediate repairs to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, alleging vandalism and criticizing its condition after recent renovations. The project, which included a $14 million renovation and a $1.7 million no-bid contract to a firm linked to Trump donor John Cafaro, faced issues with algae and structural problems. Trump claimed vandals used blades and chemicals to damage the pool, while others arrested denied causing harm.

Greenwater Services, a firm owned by a trust led by John J. Cafaro, received a no-bid contract to clean the Reflecting Pool. A White House spokeswoman stated the president was not involved in selecting the company.
