Someone should go there and show them the clips of Trump's Great Gatsby party. I bet they'd be so happy to know he's having fun.
This is the food distribution line at Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas 11/7/25. This is what Trump doesn't want you to see.

As a good govt group we work to keep local govt transparent. When local officials failed to conduct required env review for parkland alienation, we filed a FOIL request. The alienation violates NYS SEQRA. The remedy: an Article 78 asking judge to annul on basis of arbitrary and capricious decision.
