Listen I will not profess to know much about golf but this ludicrous plan calls for a course that is over 8,000 yards. To put that into perspective, Augusta National is a bit over 7,500.
This course is meant in no way for beginners or even casual players. This is meant for one very specific type of person.
Truly shameful stuff.

We’ve heard from runners, cyclists, golfers, regular picnickers, and now bird-watchers of Trump’s plan to expand the East Potomac Park golf course in a way that would eliminate all other uses of the park.
The Trump administration’s efforts to transform East Potomac Golf Links and the surrounding park have distressed D.C. bird-watchers, who stand to lose one of the DMV’s top birding locations to the proposed redevelopment.

Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

MAGA is working itself up into a lather because a Democrat said, "Lawyer up."
Can we take a quick trip down memory lane here?
So MAGA is having a meltdown because someone told Republicans to "lawyer up."
Seriously?
Let's review a little history.
Since returning to office, Donald Trump's administration has pursued criminal investigations, prosecutions, or official inquiries involving:
Letitia James
James Comey
John Bolton
Adam Schiff
John Brennan
Jack Smith
Christopher Krebs
Mark Milley
Lisa Cook
Jerome Powell
Tim Walz
Jacob Frey
And that's before counting the Democratic members of Congress who faced investigations or official reviews after reminding military personnel of their obligation to refuse unlawful orders:
Mark Kelly
Elissa Slotkin
Jason Crow
Chrissy Houlahan
Maggie Goodlander
Chris DeLuzio
Trump has also publicly threatened or called for criminal investigations of Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Kamala Harris, Liz Cheney, and numerous other political opponents.
*Ronco Voice* But wait! There's more!
Let's talk about the Republican-led House Oversight Committee and its related investigative subcommittees.
Under Republican leadership, congressional investigations have scrutinized:
Joe Biden
Hunter Biden
James Biden
Dr. Anthony Fauci
Dr. Francis Collins
Tim Walz
Keith Ellison
Alejandro Mayorkas
Gavin Newsom
Karen Bass
JB Pritzker
Kathy Hochul
Michelle Wu
Brandon Johnson
Mike Johnston
Bill Clinton
Hillary Clinton
And that's not even a complete list.
They've investigated ActBlue, COVID origins, pandemic research funding, the Biden family's finances, alleged censorship, immigration policies, and whether Biden's staff improperly used an autopen.
They've issued subpoenas, demanded testimony, examined financial records, and made criminal referrals.
And not ONE of these investigations has resulted in a conviction.
You can stop clutching your pearls now, MAGA.

After she was forced to flee Tennessee to receive essential abortion care, our client Allie Phillips sued the state over its cruel ban.
Now, she’ll serve in the Tennessee House, bringing her firsthand experience with the consequences of abortion bans to public office.
CLARKSVILLE — the @TNDemocrats announce ALLIE PHILLIPS, who had to flee Tennessee for abortion care in New York, is finally in the house 🎉

UNFORGIVEABLE: A Minnesota doctor just revealed Renée Good still had a pulse 8 minutes after she was shot by an ICE agent.
A physician on scene offered to administer aid and was denied.
In any courtroom, preventing medical aid after using deadly force isn’t just cruel, it’s an aggravating factor.

Big: Kris Kobach, the Kansas attorney general, one of the country’s most notorious far-right figures who charted the way for Trump’s election denialism well before Trump got to it, has lost his reelection bid.
Democrat Chris Mann will be new Kansas attorney general, AP

Annihilation. From NY to Texas. Americans across the country understanding the assignment in this 250th anniversary year of the Declaration of Independence.
POLITICAL NUCLEAR BOMB DETONATES OVER NEW YORK REPUBLICAN PARTY.
The GOP wasn’t just defeated. It was blown off the electoral map.
Democrats are poised to take 111 of 150 Assembly seats, while the once-mighty Senate GOP could be reduced to just 15 members.
Total political annihilation.

The D.C. Democratic Party says it appointed Jamal Holtz as the interim at-large council member to fill the seat once held by Robert White, and are asking that he be sworn in immediately. This could prompt a legal battle with @chenderson, who has also laid claim to the seat.
Americans understood the assignment in this election.
This is the final Cook Political Report rating pre election. Dems won every "Likely D "seat. They won every toss up seat. They won or are ahead in 7 of the 18 "Lean R"'s, they won 7 of the 17 ""Likely R". Dems won all their likely or safe seats, Dems also picked up 2 "solid" R seats.

The D.C. Preservation League and two golfers are asking for a restraining order to stop the Nov. 15 closure of East Potomac Park by NPS. They say the claim that the aging seawall is dangerous is a pretext for Trump's plan to re-do the golf course and get rid of other uses.

🚨BREAKING🚨
Democrat Eileen Laubacher has defeated Incumbent Republican Lauren Boebert in the CO-04 U.S. House Election.
This is a flip from 🔴 to 🔵.
It’s so strange that voters do not like masked, unaccountable soldiers killing people on our streets. Breaking down doors without proper warrants and leaving children without their parents. Gutting programs that help ordinary people so billionaires get more tax cuts.
Democrats have won control of the governorship and both legislative chambers in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Arizona, Wisconsin, and Nevada.
