Trump has wrecked many iconic D.C. sites, and now he’s taking an axe to trees in East Potomac Park, including historic cherry trees.
I’ve heard from so many locals who hate this, but all Trump's people care about is appeasing his massive ego. This is awful.

SCOOP: Trump officials are pressuring the National Park Service to find a way to give a small piece of Yosemite to a private developer.
The land would be used for a road, to give the developer rare private access to the heart of the park.

@SaveEastPo When I have been out there playing golf the last two weeks, it’s them doing tree work. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary for a golf course, tbh
@KevOnStage Love in the end when they play the “Way Down in a Hole” but the original from S1, and just pan around the city showing how, after all of that 5 seasons, nothing has changed
@jamie_raskin@DonBeyerVA@glenniveymd@EleanorNorton We know you are all tracking the East Potomac project and we are asking you to do something about it. The DOI already ignored your letter. Please do not let this go the way of the East Wing.
A public pool ruined by poor planning. The reflecting pool too. It is easy to say let’s build a championship course here. It is a lot harder to understand why this particular piece of land makes that a terrible idea. Please do not ruin this place. https://t.co/Zzto70hiDP
@PeteHaileyNBCS Had this happen on a Vegas to Charlotte flight a couple months ago. It’s so much easier to think you’ll say no until a parent holding a kid is staring at you
@DCsportsXP People hating on Mikey crazy. He had a tough year last year JUST LIKE EVERY PLAYER ON THE ROSTER lol he’s young and clearly a dog, he’ll figure it out
@fried_egg_golf Friday of the Open is one of my favorite mornings of the year. Joined this year by my 8 week old that was squirming and going to wake the wife up. Very apt that there is a commercial on while I take this picture lol
I know nothing about golf architecture. But anyone who cares about the future of East Potomac should listen to this. @BeltwayGolfer sits down with one of golf's preeminent voices to break down what a Fazio renovation actually means, what makes the existing Walter Travis design so special, and why this project would be a tragedy for East Potomac golf. https://t.co/RAyERPMylw
Birthright citizenship is especially noxious to the populist right. They scorn it as relying on magic dirt — the idea that there is something inherent in American soil that makes a person an American citizen.
Yet the same populists seem to believe in something like magic blood — that one’s lineage can make one superior.
America doesn’t have magic dirt, and it certainly doesn’t have magic blood. But it does have a magic idea — the creed that declares “that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” https://t.co/lDocJeovCh
