Crater Lake, Wind Cave, Sullys Hill, Mesa Verde, Platt — the five national parks Theodore Roosevelt established are still drawing American families more than a century later, exactly as he hoped they would.

Happy Father’s Day from the White House!
As a father & grandfather, President Trump, & as a devoted father, VP Vance join millions of families across America in celebrating. Today we honor fathers everywhere & recognize the love & impact they make on their families every day.🇺🇸
Thank you for having me, @SecretaryBurgum. These announcements will get more Americans onto our public lands, into the outdoors, and moving toward healthier, more active lives.
.@SecretaryBurgum says @Interior was giving out grants to “nonprofits” under Biden that received 100% of their revenue from taxpayers, paid CEOs $450k to push ESG, DEI, and climate extremism.
“We just completed a very extensive review. We looked at 2,000 organizations which had 3,000 agreements. We combed through all of those, and if they were using funds coming from this administration against the priorities of this administration, we cut ties with them.”
This week, @SecKennedy joined @SecretaryBurgum in Colorado to highlight the connection between outdoor recreation and public health.
The Secretaries led a roundtable about expanding access to America’s public lands, encouraging more hunting, fishing, hiking, and outdoor activity, and launched https://t.co/c82r4rDLL6 to help Americans take charge of their health. Getting outdoors is one of the simplest and most effective ways to improve physical and mental well-being.
Yesterday, 17 U.S. Park Police recruits graduated from basic law enforcement training.
The new officers will continue specialized training before beginning careers protecting national parks and supporting public safety in the Nation's Capital and beyond.
Congratulations to all!
NEW: President Trump touts newly-renovated Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool:
"It was all disgusting."
"It was going to take four years to build, and we did it in like a month, a month and a half."
"We took 11 dumpsters of garbage out, with shovels. We had a shovel inside of what's called a pool or a lake and got it cleaned. We then fumigated it... sandblasted the entire thing, washed it, cleaned it, scrubbed it, sandblasted it."
You could say they nailed it. (And also sanded it, painted it, and rebuilt it.)
@NatlParkService staff from across the country are working hard to make DC safe and beautiful, installing and repairing more than 1,000 benches this year.
Their work may happen behind the scenes, but the results are on display every day in the shared spaces that help to tell our nation’s story. 🇺🇸
.@SecretaryBurgum: "How fitting, as we go into our 250th, that President Trump is personally getting involved and making sure that our capital reflects the greatness of our country — because decline is a choice, and President Trump has shown a blueprint for every American city."
Under @POTUS, America Energy Dominance is coming back to California waters!

The George Washington Memorial Parkway belongs to the American people.
Under @POTUS, we have returned it to the American people safer, stronger and more beautiful for generations to come!
