London’s answer to New York’s High Line is scrapped
London's Camden Highline project, inspired by New York's High Line, has been nearly scrapped due to rising costs.

Donald Trump posted over 50 times on Truth Social late at night, targeting Barack Obama and others with unfounded accusations. His posts included altered images and criticism of the New York Times.

Gas prices are soaring because of blockages in the strait of Hormuz as part of the unauthorized war in Iran. There’s a highly consequential meeting with the president of China on the books for this week. The FDA director just stepped down over a disagreement on fruit-flavored vapes. Southern states are redrawing maps at break-neck pace to gerrymander Black voters out of their electoral voices.
You know what that means: it’s time for some conspiracy-laden, high-speed Truth Social posting.
Donald Trump again this week went on a spree on his own social media site, posting more than 50 times in less than three hours, all after 10pm ET. He continued to post through it on Monday morning.
It was a greatest hits of the president’s enemies. He went after Barack Obama multiple times with false or unfounded accusations, claiming the former president plotted a coup against Trump and calling Obama the “most DEMONIC FORCE” in American politics. He shared altered images of Obama, Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi in the Lincoln Memorial’s reflecting pool with the caption “Dumacrats love sewage”.
He called out the New York Times for reporting on his plan to revamp the reflecting pool, too, saying the paper was “one of the worst newspapers anywhere in the World, and is losing subscribers on an hourly basis”. He said the reflecting pool renovations were “a deeply complicated work of smart and beautiful construction”.
He posted about putting himself on the $100 bill. He posted about Hillary Clinton’s emails. Multiple stolen election claims - Dominion voting machines, Georgia ballots, a video of lawyer Sidney Powell, one of the proponents of the “Stop the Steal” movement to overturn Trump’s 2020 loss.
The intense after-hours Truth Social sessions have become a feature of Trump’s second term in the White House and provide fresh, regular evidence for those who believe he should be removed from office under the 25th amendment, which sets out a way for the vice-president and cabinet to remove a president from office if he is deemed “unable to discharge the powers and duties” of the presidency.
The Iran war created more opportunities for Trump to step in it, as he loses his grip on the Make America Great Again movement and watches his approval numbers drop while costs for Americans rise.

On Easter, he directed ire to Iran, telling them to “open the fucking strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in hell,” tacking on “praise be to Allah”. “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again,” he threatened in early April. He reposted an image of himself as Jesus, later claiming he believed he was a doctor in the doctored image. He’s posted several times as part of a feud with the pope, who he notably called “weak on crime”, because Pope Leo has opposed the war. The sacrilege led some Maga acolytes to suggest Trump may, in fact, be the anti-Christ.
On Tuesday, he spelled out how he considered Americans’ financial situations amid efforts to end the Iran war: “Not even a little bit.”
“I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation,” he said in an answer to a reporter’s question. “I don’t think about anybody. I think about one thing – we cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon. That’s all.”
Trump can still command a news cycle through distraction, pulling attention away from the issues tanking his second term - an unwanted war, an affordability crisis, the Epstein files, electoral jockeying to erase Democratic power, retribution against his enemies, inept cabinet members.
Usually, when a 79-year-old starts posting on the internet non-stop with conspiracy theories and rants and AI images, you discuss whether it’s time to change their passwords and take away their car keys.
But when that man is the president, the behavior gets some news coverage, including some expert commentary by psychologists in HuffPost about what this could tell us about the man’s brain. (“In the beginning, he was colorful and creative,” one professor told HuffPost. “Now, it’s a little bit scary and [includes] threatening a civilization.”) It largely, though, doesn’t rate anymore because of its frequency.
Conspiratorial late-night social media frenzy? Well, that’s just Monday.
