Taxpayers spent over $70M this year for Trump to play golf his country club, as he’s doubled his family’s net worth to over $7B through crooked deals and crypto scams, and accepted bribes from foreign countries and large donors for political favors.

I can't wait until the United States cleanses itself of all the ugly traces of Donald Trump. Take his name off buildings. Remove all the tacky gold bric-a-brac from the White House walls. Bulldoze his vulgar ballroom. Restore MLK, Jr Day and Juneteenth at parks. #Fumigate
Donald Trump just removed Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth from the list of free entry days at national parks.
They are being replaced with Trump’s birthday.

National monuments don’t just protect the cultural and ecological resources within their boundaries. They are also instrumental in protecting sources of the water we drink.

FIFA President Gianni Infantini used the World Cup draw to bestow a made-up award, the FIFA Peace Prize, to Donald Trump, a president inflicting violence both at home and abroad. @edgeofsports.bsky.social and @julesboykoff.bsky.social take a look at this absurd, risible act.

For 20 years, some 850,000+ Jews were expelled from their homes in Arab countries.
Thankfully, the state of Israel was there to welcome them.
