The New Republic | Trump Admin Sued for Diverting $100 Million in Taxpayer Funds by Malcolm Ferguson

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

A watchdog group, Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER), has filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia accusing the Trump administration’s “Freedom 250” operation of siphoning roughly $100 million in taxpayer money earmarked for the America 250 celebration and diverting it to the president’s vanity projects without congressional approval. The complaint says the Department of the Interior failed to respond to Freedom‑of‑Information Act requests and is using the privately‑run Freedom 250 as a “slush fund,” mixing private donations with public funds, selling access to the president for up to $2.5 million, soliciting foreign contributions, and pressuring employees to use the organization’s branding in official communications—potentially violating the Hatch Act. PEER argues the scheme lacks transparency, accountability, and any legal guardrails, and it seeks to stop the alleged misuse of public funds.

It was one of many head-scratching posts the president made late Friday night.

Agi: Trump ne ha fatta un'altra. La fake photo nella Reflecting Pool

AGI - Per Donald Trump le immagini generate con l'intelligenza artificiale sono una tentazione irresistibile. L'ultima è una 'fake-photo' che lo ritrae insieme ad alti funzionari nella Reflecting Pool del Lincoln Memorial, accompagnata da altre, a metà tra l'invenzione e il rendering, che mettono a confronto l'aspetto passato e futuro della grande piscina che occupa lo spazio di fronte al monumento nel cuore di Washington.
In un'immagine pubblicata su Truth, Trump appare con un ampio sorriso, mentre fa il segno del pollice in su, sdraiato su un lettino gonfiabile dorato in compagnia del vicepresidente JD Vance, anch'egli con il pollice in su, del segretario di Stato Marco Rubio, del segretario degli Interni Doug Burgum e di Alina Habba, avvocato del Presidente, con il Monumento a Washington sullo sfondo.
Il confronto sulla Reflecting Pool
Tra le altre immagini condivise da Trump nelle ultime ore ce ne sono due della Reflecting Pool piena di acqua blu cristallina – "blu bandiera americana", recita il post – affiancate a una con l'acqua sporca e piena di alghe e una didascalia secondo cui è stata scattata nel settembre 2012, durante la presidenza Obama. I lavori di ristrutturazione della piscina costeranno 1,5 milioni di dollari e seguono quella ampia avvenuta proprio durante l'era Obama, nel 2012.

Trump has done it again. The fake photo in the Reflecting Pool.

AGI - For Donald Trump, images generated by artificial intelligence are an irresistible temptation. The latest is a ‘fake-photo’ depicting him alongside high-ranking officials in the Reflecting Pool of the Lincoln Memorial, accompanied by others that fall somewhere between invention and rendering, which compare the past and future appearance of the large pool that occupies the space in front of the monument in the heart of Washington.

In an image posted on Truth, Trump appears with a broad smile, making the thumbs-up sign, lying on a golden inflatable lounge in the company of Vice President JD Vance, also making the thumbs-up sign, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum, and Alina Habba, the President’s lawyer, with the Washington Monument in the background.

The Reflection Pool Comparison
Among the other images shared by Trump in recent hours, there are two of the Reflecting Pool full of crystal-clear blue water – “American flag blue,” the post reads – alongside one with the water dirty and full of algae, and a caption stating it was taken in September 2012, during the Obama presidency. The renovation of the pool will cost $1.5 million and follows the large one that occurred precisely during the Obama era, in 2012.
