Trump did sign Executive Order 14420 directing the federal government to rename Lake Ontario “Lake America.” The order tells Interior and the U.S. Board on Geographic Names to make the change in federal geographic databases and requires federal agencies to use the new name.

What a circus. 🤡

The Trump administration’s Department of Education has now deleted its post that compared Donald Trump to Hitler.

The Trump administration is trying to change what science is allowed to be taught, and now a West Point professor who taught there for 17 years says he is being pushed out after speaking up about it.

Awe, this is heartbreaking. This is 5-year-old Liam Tadeo. ICE plans to deport him, tearing him away from his mother. He has spent the last few days detained with his father at the Dilley, TX detention center, a facility that has faced serious allegations of abuse, neglect, and terrible conditions.

Well, that was quick. 24 Democratic-led states and D.C. just sued to block the USPS’s new mail-voting rule, which was officially published today. The rule comes directly from Trump’s anti-mail voting EO and gives USPS new power over how mail ballot requests are handled ahead of the midterms.

A setback for mail voting ahead of the midterms. A federal judge in Boston lifted her nationwide block on parts of Trump’s mail-in voting restrictions, temporarily clearing the way for the administration to start implementing them.

A win for voting rights in Ohio! A federal judge just blocked Ohio from enforcing a new rule requiring people to provide documentary proof of citizenship when registering to vote at a motor vehicle bureau.

Well, the Trump administration’s EPA found a simple way to stop hearing from the public just eliminate the requirement to ask them. The EPA is scrapping public notice and comment requirements for air pollution permits on new data centers and the power plants needed to run them.

Happy 110th birthday to the National Park Service! And thank you to everyone who has taken action this week to support and defend our parks.

Lol! Love you, Canada. 🇨🇦

Trump threatened to rename Lake Ontario “Lake America.” He is so ridiculous. Canada knows these performative name changes won’t last. The second Trump is out of office, the names he’s tried to force on everything will be changed right back.

Air Force Maj. Jason Watson, who publicly called for Donald Trump’s impeachment twice on the steps of the U.S. Capitol, is now facing criminal charges under military law.

This is absolutely wild. USPS is defending new restrictions on mail voting by comparing ballots to other types of “sensitive mail,” including replica explosives and cremated remains.

The new rule would require states to use specific ballot markings and unique barcodes,

Our national parks are already severely understaffed. They’ve lost roughly a quarter of their permanent workforce since Trump returned to office, and the people who remain are being asked to do more with less every single day.

This is terrible. The Supreme Court’s 6–3 conservative majority just handed Trump an early win in his effort to restrict mail-in voting ahead of the 2026 midterms, lifting a lower-court order that had blocked key parts of his executive order in 23 states.

This is stock market manipulation. Truth Social is now selling companies faster access to Trump’s posts, which can move markets in seconds. The company launched the service earlier this month, allowing paying firms to receive his posts more quickly than ordinary users.

Trump is playing the tariff game again, so his family can buy up some more stocks. Give it a couple of days and we’ll probably have a “historic” new deal with Canada that’s basically the same as, or worse than, what we already had.

💯

The Trump administration’s Justice Department has repeatedly tried to keep its handpicked U.S. attorneys in power after their temporary appointments expired, without ever putting them through Senate confirmation.

You think Trump can’t possibly become any worse of a monster, and then you find out his administration is sending America’s wild horses to slaughterhouses. What the Trump administration is doing to our wild horses is absolutely disgusting. 🤮 There has to be a line.

It’s amazing watching as even Florida is changing. In heavily Republican Sarasota County, voters just broke up the Moms for Liberty-aligned conservative majority on the school board. Former teachers Megan Tennimon and Beth Mayberry both won outright, while Teresa DeWitt,

Thank you for everything. 💚💚💚 Tomorrow, there will be more of us.

A win! A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration’s pause on issuing visas to immigrants from 75 countries. U.S. District Judge Jeannette Vargas found the policy was “contrary to law” and went beyond Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s legal authority.

If you’re looking for a way to show up for our national parks, Tuesday, August 25 is the day. The NPCA is organizing a nationwide Day of Action on the National Park Service’s 110th birthday, with events and advocacy stations happening at parks around the country.

The Pentagon fired the publisher and editor in chief of Stars and Stripes, the military newspaper that is supposed to maintain editorial independence from the very department it covers.

A private prison company that stands to make hundreds of millions of dollars from Trump’s immigration crackdown just sent more than $1.4 million to his political operation.

The Supreme Court on temporarily allowed Trump to keep construction moving on his White House ballroom.

Rosie’s been on fire! 🔥💚
