Someone made a site that tracks what people are talking about at public city council meetings across the US. The only thing discussed more than data centers? Pickleball courts.

Nancy Pelosi, who is regularly hammered for her perceived insider trading, has made 213 total trades since 2014. Trump exceeded that number in a single day, which just happened to precede his own tariffs announcement. My latest on the mind boggling self-enrichment:

The debris trucks I photographed yesterday at the East Potomac Golf Course with taped-over logos also went so far as to tape over their license plates. Just re-watched the video I shot of them arriving and noticed that.

The trucks being used to haul away the debris from the East Potomac Golf Course have had tape placed over the company names on the side of the trucks.

They broke Eisenhower’s globe because they didn’t want to wait for a team of specialist historians to move it. I cannot think of a more apt metaphor for Pete Hegseth’s DoD.

EXCLUSIVE: Pete Hegseth wanted Gen. Dwight Eisenhower’s globe for his office. His staff broke it. We have photos.

SCOOP: The State Dept has started asking career diplomats up for promotion if they voted for Trump in 16, 20, 24. Federal law prohibits politically based hiring for career staff. State tells @washingtonsun it's screening for "fidelity" and execution of the president's vision👇

Trump says that if Republicans lose in North Carolina he will use the power of his office to deny US Marine Corps veterans’ claims for medical treatment for cancer and other life threatening diseases resulting from decades of water contamination by toxic chemicals at Camp Lejeune

Trump on Camp Lejeune water contamination claims: "If we win the House and Senate, I am directing the Department of Justice to settle all remaining legitimate claims as soon as possible ... if we don't win, there's no money."

This is the beloved national park in DC that @POTUS Trump just denigrated as “Trash Island.” The photos Trump posted on his personal website show scenes from neglected public lands @Interior failed to maintain under @SecretaryBurgum @SecretaryZinke @SecBernhardt & @SecDebHaaland.

Trump: "With Roger Marshall in the Senate, we will make year-round E15 permanent. But if Adam Hamilton is in, I'm not going it. That's it. I'm only doing it for him. That's a big deal for Kansas."

Well that is the same physical layout as every American city before they were knocked down in a fit of madness during the 50s. I think the signs would be in English however.

The D.C. area has many expensive members-only country clubs but few public courses for ordinary folks. This move is indicative of the Trumpian indifference for those who are not wealthy.

This is golf gentrification like I’ve never seen. Hains Point has been a quintessential muni course for the people, for decades. A duffers course. Hardpan but affordable. Accessible. Communal. Local. Urban. DC has so few affordable golf options. Washington didn’t ask for this.

Rep. Don Beyer (D-VA): “The Trump Admin was clearly lying about the reasons for their mass felling of trees in East Potomac. They were lying to conceal from the American people that, at a time when our country is at war & everyone is worried about the economy & high prices, the President simply doesn’t care"
