Trump: "I alone could secure a prisoner release from Russia without giving anything in return"
Trump literally ten minutes later: "Now you idiots know why I had to waive sanctions on Russia, no shot I got that prisoner release otherwise"
As I told @Lokay, East Potomac Park belongs to the people.
DC area residents walk here, bike here, golf here, and come here to get outside and enjoy the city. They shouldn't lose a park they love so that Trump and his buddies can have another personal playground.

The IDF detained numerous American citizens, including @BradLander, in the West Bank, simply for participating in the olive harvest. All while turning a blind eye to settler violence against Palestinians there.
Pass the Stop The Settlements Act now.
I’ve been released from IDF custody with a “warning,” apparently because of my public profile (I told them I wasn’t even a congressmember yet, just a nominee).
But several dozen rabbis & participants harvesting olives with me are still in detention. For harvesting olives. They should all be released immediately.
To be clear: Palestinians face far worse consequences every day. These detentions by the IDF are one more attempt to undermine Palestinians’ right to harvest their olive groves, travel on their roads, and live in their homes. Yet one more element of escalating, and very clearly state-sponsored ethnic cleansing.
We’ll update on their status as soon as we hear.

Camp Lejeune veterans and their families have been pleading for help for years. Their stories are heartbreaking.
I wrote about them here: washingtonpost.com/politics/…
The president says here that he will only fund help for these families if his party does well in an election.
This treatment of an American journalist is disgraceful, and the Netanyahu government's response is unacceptable. Such scenes of violence are frequent amid the illegal expansion of Israeli settlements into Palestinian territory. That's why I signed onto @JoaquinCastrotx's Stop The Settlements Act, which Congress should pass.
Masked Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian villagers on Friday, setting olive groves on fire and slinging rocks.
Caught in the attack was Post photographer Heidi Levine. “They just kept kicking me and kicking me, like probably 50 times,” Levine said. wapo.st/4yt6dHY

Rep. Don Beyer (D-VA): “The Trump Admin was clearly lying about the reasons for their mass felling of trees in East Potomac. They were lying to conceal from the American people that, at a time when our country is at war & everyone is worried about the economy & high prices, the President simply doesn’t care"

President Donald Trump said the historic East Potomac Golf Links will close for 15 months beginning November 15 as part of a major renovation aimed at transforming the public golf course into a championship-level destination.
However, the plan remains entangled in a legal battle over the removal of hundreds of trees — and the administration is now seeking to remove the federal judge overseeing the case.
Congressman Don Beyer (D-VA) has emerged as a major critic of Trump's various development plans in D.C.
About the potential changes to East Potomac Park, Beyer said, "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.
"Trump is focused on building an upscale golf course within walking distance of the White House, on his fancy ballroom, and on his memorial arch to himself."
Two years ago, Donald Trump and Republicans pledged to lower costs, but families are now facing even higher costs than before.
In my district in Northern Virginia, those rising prices cost families an additional $4,600 since Trump took office.
A recent report from the @JECDems families in VA-08 have paid an additional $1,200 on housing, $678 more on gas, and nearly $300 more on electricity.
All because of Trump's illegal tariffs, and his foolish war with Iran.

It's been a good week for Putin. In recent days, Trump has:
* Struck a diesel deal lifting some sanctions
* Restricted Starshield for Ukraine
* Cut intel warnings of Russian missile launches against Ukraine for several days
* Canceled Lindsey Graham sanctions
* Demanded Ukraine dump Zelensky
* Absolved Russia for helping Iran fight the US
* Pushed Europe to resume buying Russian gas
Rep. Don Beyer retweeted
Straight talk from Rep. Beyer on Trump's most recent betrayal of Ukraine.
Trump just waived all of the sanctions on Russia provided for in the Lindsey Graham Sanctioning Russia Act, just as I and others warned he would.
Trump’s latest surrender to Putin again betrays our Ukrainian partners and defies clear congressional intent of legislation designed to punish Russia for its illegal war of aggression.
Trump has proven he will twist this law and abuse the powers it conferred on him, and while he has let the tariff powers lie for the moment, the law as written also empowers Trump to weaponize new trade authorities against our allies and trading partners.
Congress must fix this flawed law to stop Trump from capitulating to Putin and ensure that it truly supports Ukraine.
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.
Breaking: Trump says he'll close East Potomac golf course Nov 15 and begin his overhaul
"The current Course is old, broken, dilapidated, and of no further use or effect," Trump wrote.
Officials didn't immediately respond to Qs about cost

DCA operates in the busiest airspace in the country, and few people understand the challenges of that better than flight attendants.
Their opposition to Trump's vanity arch speaks volumes, and I am glad to have their union join our fight against this dangerous, selfish project.

From crypto schemes to foreign gifts to $330 million for his ballroom, Donald Trump is using the presidency to enrich himself, his family, and his friends.
Yet my Republican colleagues are ignoring this blatant corruption while attempting to restrict charitable giving.
After years of hard work, seniors deserve quality care and clear options when choosing their healthcare plan.
As Medicare Open Enrollment begins, millions are facing the painful consequences of Trump and Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill: fewer choices, higher costs, and disrupted care.

Fewer health insurance plans. Higher out-of-pocket costs. Skimpier supplemental benefits.
This upheaval is what senior citizens will have to contend with when Medicare Advantage open enrollment for 2027 coverage begins on Thursday. That's why it's even more important that enrollees review their plan options so they aren't hit with unexpected bills and other surprises next year, experts say. cnn.it/4s4V8LN

Russia is cooperating with Iran. So why is Trump cooperating with Russia?
Like the diesel deal, this decision is a gift to the very forces attacking our service members.
