Not enough people are talking about this.
A Florida airport was renamed after Donald Trump. He walked away with the trademark, the licensing rights, and a deal that lets him profit off every piece of merchandise sold there.
But the story of how he got it is even worse.
County staff told commissioners that rejecting the name change would put state transportation funding at risk. DeSantis has already removed state attorneys and school board members who dared to cross him. That is the reality the Democratic commissioner who cast the deciding vote was living in when she made her choice: hand Donald Trump control of a public airport or watch Florida Republicans strip funding from the very people she was elected toΒ represent.
That isΒ absolutely insane.
Florida Republicans handed Trump a money machine and called it a naming rights deal, and the people of Palm Beach County never got a say in any of it.

How do you cover this? A previous president would have received wall to wall coverage for even one of these tweets. And yet Trump floods the zone and the media cannot and often will not cover the sheer extent of his insanity and indecency.
I canβt emphasize this enough. Trumpβs ballroom is incredibly unpopular. People think itβs a dumb, decadent distraction. And now, Republicans want to spend your taxpayer dollars to build it.
It's political malpractive and a midterm gift to Democrats
INCREDIBLE!
Washington Post journalist Hannah Natanson who had Trumpβs FBI raid her home and take her phones and laptops, just won the Pulitzer Prize with the Washington Post.
Congrats!!
"Veteran's Against Fascism," including disabled veterans, were arrested inside of the Capitol building today as they staged a protest against Trump's war in Iran.
This is Trump's America.
