900,000 people donated to the National Park Foundation thinking their money was going to the parks, but Trump turned it into a personal slush fund selling $1 million photo ops with the president while the parks themselves hemorrhage rangers.

Congress appropriated $150 million for America’s 250th birthday and sent it to the official bipartisan commission. $100 million got rerouted to Trump’s parallel entity instead, with no vote, no disclosure, and a Foundation president who promised Congress he’d hide the donors’ names.

Meanwhile, NPS has lost more than a quarter of its workforce, the FY27 budget cuts park operations by $736 million, and a $10 billion “Presidential Capital Stewardship Program” is routed through the same starving agency to fund the ballroom, the arch, and the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool paint job.

Read it. Share it. Then look up where your members of Congress stand on the Public Lands Scorecard.
