    RT @RepMarkPocan: Wisconsin’s dairy farmers are the backbone of our state’s economy and communities. They should not be required to match federal funds to stay in business. @SenPeterWelch and I wrote a letter to @SecRollins demanding she reissue the funding opportunity without a matching requirement.

    RT @eamonlynch: Donald Trump‘s plans for one public golf course expose how little he cares about the public or golf.

    RT @politicalmiller: Tearing all this down for a vanity golf course is so maddening. We already have a course! Just make them better!

    RT @smithmachine: Tearing down the East Wing and ruining the Reflecting Pool are bad, but symbolically so. This makes the experience of living in DC as a normal person – turning a place for cycling, fishing, birding, picnicking, and cheap golf into a playground for the rich – materially worse.

    RT @RepDonBeyer: The Trump Administration was clearly lying about the reasons for their mass felling of trees in East Potomac last weekend. They were lying to conceal from the American people that, at a time when our country is at war and everyone is worried about the economy and high prices, the President simply doesn’t care—he’s focused on building an upscale golf course within walking distance of the White House. And on his fancy ballroom and his memorial arch to himself. The design he’s pursuing would block off roads and paths used by large numbers of local residents for cycling and walking, no doubt to make the area another exclusive hangout for Trump’s rich and powerful friends. And once again he’s doing all of that at great expense, on your dime.

    RT @JuddLegum: So would getting rid of the golf course, which I have played for 25 years, including yesterday. It is a fun, affordable course. There are currently 36 holes, including two 9-hole courses that are perfect for teaching kids to play. Trump is going to replace that with a (presumably much more expensive) 18-hole course that will take much longer than 15 months to make. The course is in an amazing location but it has never been in amazing shape and I’d love for someone invest some money in it. But the renovation should be consistent with its current role of making golf accessible. There are plenty of courses in the DC area that are already capable of hosting pro tournaments.

    Trump releases his plan to re-do the East Potomac Park golf course in DC. His graphic does not show the current road which runs around Hains Point, or the picnic and memorial areas at the end. Getting rid of those public areas would be terrible.

    RT @jamiedupree: For those of you not from DC - this means runners, bicyclists, families, sightseers would all be displaced from Hains Point - so that a high-end golf course could be built minutes from the U.S. Capitol and White House.

    I know there are more important and awful things that Trump’s doing but this really, really sucks. Just completely ruins the island for recreational uses outside of golf
    Save East Po @SaveEastPo
    You have got to be f**king kidding me… an 18 hole golf course that fully absorbs the entirety of Hains Point. Disgusting and shameful acts by Department of Interior. We have been saying this for MONTHS.

    Save East Po @SaveEastPo
    Just total devastation wrought on East Potomac Park this past weekend. 450+ trees. For an admin that professes to support “beautification” of DC, that’s sure not what we or anybody else who has seen what they did on Saturday would describe it as. East Potomac is (was?) a thriving, beautiful gem in the heart of Washington DC. A beautiful, public, accessible place that hundreds of thousands use annually. The assault on this place should infuriate every American. The impacts of what took place Saturday will take years to fix. We cannot sit idly by while this admin treats our public lands like they are for the taking.
