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 to represent.
That is 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.

27.2 million quid pro quo
That's how much Christopher Harborne has donated to Nigel Farage & parties under his control. And it's pretty clear what the "quo" has been. Though Harborne no doubt has more to expect.
This should be by far the biggest story in British politics.
If there’s any justice, Starmer emerges from this nonsense as the nationally-respected leader he ought to have been considered as all along.
If he goes, you impudent fools will damn sure miss him when he’s gone
#StandwithStarmer#SteerCalmer with @Keir_Starmer
The 2024 GE was won fairly. Starmer was installed as PM for FIVE YEARS, not just 20 highly successful months, which the media won't tell you about. See my FULL FACT post earlier. Politics isn't a video game for brainless infants. Things can't happen as fast as stupid people want.
It's true to say things remain tough for many people despite a raft of positive changes.
However, creating instability when people need us to focus on the job would be irresponsible.
The Conservatives couldn't govern because of their infighting. We can't make the same mistake.
My loyalty as a Labour Party member is with @Keir_Starmer
My instinct as a patriotic British citizen is that he should remain as Prime Minister.
My feeling as a decent human being is that he has been betrayed, and I won't support those who betrayed him.
‘People deserve honesty in the upcoming Makerfield by-election’
-says man who trousered £5m ‘gift’ from foreign based billionaire crypto dealer, claiming it was 1) no one else’s business 2) it was to pay for security then 3) a reward for Brexit
I am running for Congress to impeach, convict, and send Donald Trump's ass to jail.
If you are ready to see him in an orange jumpsuit, chip in to my campaign

@carol_woke Agreed with every word you said. Shame only the traitors are given a voice but not the PM’s supporters. And I am a Tory. I support Starmer because he is a decent guy trying to do a good job for the country , unlike the last 14 years under the Tories.
Dear Prime Minister Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer
You have another three years to go, please continue being our best PM for a long time and take no notice of any wannabe as no one can fill your shoes.
Onwards & Upwards with PM Keir Starmer.
Your job @BBCNews is to report the news NOT create it
There’s NO VACANCY at Number 10
Keir Starmer is our PM
Streeting is a back bencher
Burnham is currently a nobody and yet you continue to broadcast shit over and over
WHY? Are you attempting to destabilise HM Government ?
Holy shit. A clip of Trump fast asleep and about to fall out of his chair when he was among world leaders is going viral.
This is absolutely humiliating on the world stage. Trump does not have the stamina to remain president.

“Leaving Europe is the worst thing I have experienced in my whole time in business.”
“Johnson and Gove should be in jail. As a chairman I am obliged to tell the truth to my shareholders.”
“If I lie it’s a criminal offence. Politicians lie to the public — their shareholders — and get away with it.”
“All that bullshit about the 350 million quid going to the NHS after Brexit.”
#rejoinEU
I’ll always champion peaceful protest. But the Unite the Kingdom march organisers are peddling hatred and division.
We’ve already blocked visas for far-right agitators who want to come here to spew their extremist views.
They don't speak for the decent, fair, respectful Britain I know.
Todavía estoy esperando a que la derecha se solidarice con Lamine Yamal, que por ondear la bandera de Palestina ha sido criticado por el Gobierno de Netanyahu.
Todo nuestro respaldo a él y al pueblo palestino. Y todo nuestro rechazo a la violación de derechos humanos.
