Incumbent presidents are supposed to partially reimburse the federal government when using Air Force One and other govt facilities for clearly political purposes. Is anyone keeping count of President Trump’s reimbursements?

Walter Koenig made Star Trek history w/his voice cameo in the 2023 series finale of "Picard."
He didn't appear as Pavel Chekov; but rather President Anton Chekov, leader of the United Federation of Planets; the son of his original character.
The name was a tribute to Anton Yelchin, who'd died in 2016 and had played Chekov in the JJ Abrams films.
This made Walter the last of the original cast to appear in a Star Trek series.

VICTORY: A federal court just put the chainsaws down at East Potomac Park
The plan was to turn a public park into a private tournament course for Trump & wealthy golfers. The trees stay while we fight it out in court
@DDFund_ & partners are on the case 👇- TN

Sign of the times: Someone chalked “National Guard Stay Away” outside an early voting center in Columbia Heights. There have been local and national concerns around federal agents (or the National Guard in D.C.) appearing at or near polling places ahead of next week’s elections.

BREAKING: Judge Reyes has issued a preliminary injunction over the golf course and begins with this:
"Rarely, if ever, has the United States Department of Justice urged a federal court not to believe the sitting President."

OBAMA: He pulled out of the JCPOA, starts this war—Seven months later, six months after they declared victory, how's that war going?
Our allies and our bases have been attacked. Americans have been killed. Hundreds of Americans have been wounded. We have run down our stock of missiles. And Iran now has veto power over the strait of hormuz, where oil goes through to the world market.
This is the reason why the price of oil is up. Nobody disputes that. This is the reason the price of diesel is up. This is the reason why the price of just about everything is up.
Meanwhile, you got the defense secretary who's squarely focused on important matters: the jawlines and testosterone levels of our troops.
These are not serious people. And the problem is you end up having to pay the price for their lack of seriousness.

Whether president of a college or president of the United States, a man who doesn't care about rape should not be in office.

We’ll be at the Marine Corps Marathon this Sunday, mile 11.75, right as runners enter East Potomac Park.
40,000 runners passing straight through the park we’re fighting to save. Come join us, ~8am to noon. Signs provided.
Come for all or part of it! It's worth fighting for.

DC is a biking city.
We're at 20 million annual bike trips on rideshare alone, so that's not even counting trips on personal bikes. These days I see more bikes than cars on 14th St. Now we need waaaay more bike lanes to accomodate.
DC is a biking city.
