    DeSantis Signs Bill to Rename Florida Airport After Trump

      Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) quietly signed legislation Monday to rename Palm Beach International Airport after President Donald J. Trump — a move that underscores how Trump’s name is being embedded across Florida’s physical and political landscape.

      The measure would rebrand the airport as President Donald J. Trump International Airport, pending administrative follow-through. While the law references Federal Aviation Administration involvement, the FAA has made clear it won’t stand in the way.

      The agency told The New York Times it “does not approve airport name changes,” calling them a local matter, and said its role would be limited to “administrative tasks to include updating navigational charts and databases.”

      If finalized, the new name would take effect July 1, 2026.

      A coordinated push around the Trump brand

      The renaming effort didn’t emerge in isolation. On Feb. 13, 2026, Trump’s family business filed a trademark application covering the airport’s name — along with potential use of the DJT airport code for merchandise.

      The Trump Organization has said Trump and his family will not receive royalties or licensing fees tied to the change. Still, the trademark filing signals a broader effort to formalize and control how the Trump name is used in connection with major infrastructure.

      Palm Beach is already ground zero for Trump’s post-presidency footprint, anchored by Mar-a-Lago just minutes from the airport. The renaming effectively turns a key gateway into a branded extension of that orbit.

      And it fits a longer pattern: Trump’s name has been affixed to hotels, towers, golf courses, and residential properties worldwide — a branding strategy that blends real estate, politics, and personal identity more tightly than any modern U.S. political figure.

      Celebration — and backlash

      Eric Trump quickly celebrated the move on X, writing:

      “Palm Beach International Airport is now officially…. ‘President Donald J. Trump International Airport!’”

      But the decision is already drawing sharp criticism, especially over cost and priorities.

      Politico reported that Florida lawmakers initially set aside $2.75 million for signage, branding, and website updates tied to the change.

      State Rep. Fentrice Driskell, the Florida House Minority Leader, blasted the move:

      “Your money is being misused to celebrate the man who caused gas prices to rise to over four dollars a gallon, grocery costs to shoot up, and health care prices to spike,” she said. “Republicans are out of touch when it comes to the real issues impacting Floridians. The people of Florida did not ask for this. It’s clear Tallahassee Republicans care more about political stunts than they care about your wallet.”

      Not just an airport — a broader legacy play

      The timing is notable.

      The airport news coincided with newly unveiled renderings for Trump’s planned Presidential Library in Miami, a waterfront project designed to cement his legacy in his adopted home state.

      While details are still emerging, the proposed library signals a long-term institutional presence — the kind typically associated with past presidents’ archives and policy centers. Combined with the airport renaming, it points to a coordinated effort to anchor Trump’s post-presidential identity physically across Florida.

      Taken together, the moves suggest something bigger than a naming change: a deliberate expansion of Trump-branded landmarks — from transportation hubs to cultural institutions — concentrated in one state.

      Florida isn’t just where Trump lives.

      It’s increasingly where his legacy is being built in concrete, steel, and signage.

      Supreme Court Takes Up Trump Immunity Claim

        On Wednesday, the U.S. Supreme Court announced it will take up the issue of whether former President Donald Trump can invoke presidential immunity to shield himself from federal prosecution.

        The high court scheduled an oral argument for the week of April 22, 2024.

        The high Court’s decision comes after a U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit panel ruled against the immunity claim in the 2020 election case against Trump brought by special counsel Jack Smith.

        The Daily Wire has more:

        Andrew Weissmann, a former federal prosecutor who worked in special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia inquiry into Trump, said, “The SCOTUS stays DC case and expedites hearing the Trump appeal on immunity. But every day of delay operates as granting Trump de facto immunity.”

        The Supreme Court denied a bid by Smith in December to fast-track consideration of the immunity claim while Trump’s lawyers argued the question should be considered in a “cautious, deliberative manner.”

        Trump has pleaded not guilty in the federal case in which he is accused of unlawfully plotting to overturn the results of the 2020 election. His lawyers filed to dismiss the case in October by arguing that Trump’s actions were “within the heartland” of his “official duties.”

        U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, an appointee of former President Barack Obama, rejected Trump’s immunity claim, saying that the defendant’s “four-year service as Commander in Chief did not bestow on him the divine right of kings to evade the criminal accountability that governs his fellow citizens.”

        Trump is facing three other criminal cases, including another one led by Smith over the former president’s handling of classified documents.

        Trump recently cited presidential immunity in a request to get the documents case dismissed.

        Report: New York Post Barred From Biden Event Ahead Of Possible Hunter Charges

          The Biden administration appears to be distancing itself from any right-wing outlets as the walls are closing in on Hunter Biden.

          The New York Post was reportedly denied press credentials for a White House event that took place on Monday, mere days ahead of a possible indictment for Hunter.

          The event, which took place in the White House-adjacent Eisenhower Executive Office Building, reportedly addressed federal airline policies and also included remarks from Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.

          “We are unable to accommodate your credential request to attend the Investing in Airline Accountability Remarks on 5/8. The remarks will be live-streamed and can be viewed at WH.gov. Thank you for understanding. We will let you know if a credential becomes available,” the email read.

          According to the Post’s report, of some 50 seats that had been reserved for reporters, nearly half remained empty throughout the president’s remarks. However, the outlet also noted that the email declining their request for credentials did not state that limited space was the reason for the rejection.

          The decision to reject press credentials for The Post, which first published articles regarding Hunter’s laptop, comes two weeks after a meeting between Justice Department (DOJ) officials and Hunter’s legal team. The meeting triggered speculation that the DOJ is nearing its decision over whether to indict the President’s son. (RELATED: Is Hunter Biden Hiding In The White House To Avoid Arrest?)

          Over the weekend, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) urged the DOJ to withhold charging Hunter until after a mid-week press conference.

          “My message to the Department of Justice is very loud and clear: Do not indict Hunter Biden before Wednesday,” he told “Sunday Morning Futures” host Maria Bartiromo over the weekend.

          Hunter Biden may face prosecution over federal tax charges as well as questions over the alleged illegal disposal of a handgun in Delaware.

          Democrat Lawmaker To File Impeachment Articles Against Trump

            Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, announced Thursday morning that he plans to once again introduce articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump — a move that highlights ongoing divisions within the Democratic Party over how to confront the president.

            “There will be articles of impeachment filed before the Christmas break. This, I pledge,” Green declared, framing the action as a test of Democrats’ willingness to oppose the Trump administration. “We have to participate. This is a participatory democracy. The impeachment requires the hands and the guidance of all of us.”

            Green said he will file the measure as a privileged resolution, a procedural maneuver that forces the House to consider the articles within two legislative days. Even so, the chamber can vote to table the effort before it reaches an actual impeachment vote — something that has happened repeatedly in the past.

            A Long Record of Failed Impeachment Attempts

            Thursday’s announcement marks Green’s fifth attempt to impeach Trump. Since 2017, Green has repeatedly pushed impeachment articles, often without the backing of House Democratic leadership. His previous filings — including charges such as “bigotry” and “bringing disrepute to the presidency” — were consistently tabled with bipartisan support, underscoring how little traction his efforts gained even before Trump’s two formal impeachments in 2019 and 2021.

            This history has led many observers to view Green’s actions as largely symbolic, aimed more at appealing to the party’s activist base than at producing any practical outcome.

            Progressive Frustrations with Democratic Leadership

            Green’s renewed push comes as the party’s progressive wing expresses growing dissatisfaction with Democratic leaders like Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y. Critics argue that leadership has failed to secure meaningful concessions during recent legislative battles — including a 43-day government shutdown — and has not mounted an effective resistance to Republican policy priorities.

            Some Democrats, such as Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner, have even called for new leadership in Congress to more aggressively oppose GOP momentum.

            Dave Mytych, outreach lead for the activist group For Liberation and Resistance Everywhere (FLARE), joined Green at the press conference and directly criticized top Democrats.

            “This is what the American people want. They want fighters that hold the line. Democrats, are you listening? Leader Schumer, are you listening? Leader Jeffries, are you listening?” Mytych said.

            Questions About the Effort’s Purpose

            When asked whether another failed impeachment vote might reflect poorly on Democratic leadership, Green avoided directly answering. He instead noted that up to 80 House members have supported his proposals in the past.

            “Here’s my perspective. I believe in the Constitution,” Green said. “People who vote to table the articles are voting against impeachment.”

            He did not specify which charges he intends to bring this time.

            A Familiar Outcome Likely

            The House has impeached Trump twice before — first in 2019 over abuse of power and later in 2021 for inciting an insurrection. In both cases, the Senate ultimately voted to acquit. Green’s repeated attempts, none of which have succeeded or gained broad support, leave little expectation that this latest effort will produce a different result.

            Green also announced plans for a peaceful protest at the Lincoln Memorial on Saturday alongside other advocates.

              The Club for Growth has invited six possible Republican presidential candidates to its annual donor retreat. Former President Donald Trump isn’t one of them.

              The anti-tax super PAC spent $150 million in the past two election cycles boosting GOP candidates across the country. Its leader, David McIntosh, believes the Republican Party’s chances of reclaiming the White House in two years’ time will be significantly diminished if Trump becomes the party’s nominee.

              Now, McIntosh wants to do all he can to introduce major donors to other possibilities.

              The New York Times reports:

              “The party should be open to another candidate,” Mr. McIntosh said, suggesting that Republicans had already lost too many elections with Mr. Trump as the face of the party.

              The group and the former president clashed during last year’s Ohio GOP Senate primary. Trump sent McIntosh a vulgar message less than one month after graciously introducing him at a rally.

              In OHSEN, Trump had expected McIntosh from the Club for Growth to stop supporting Mandel after Trump backed Vance. The Club aired a new spot today featuring Vance quotes criticizing Trump in the past. Trump had his assistant send McIntosh a text saying, “Go f*^% yourself.” April 21, 2022

              The Times continues:

              Mr. McIntosh insisted that there was no personal animosity guiding the group’s interest in seeking another option for the 2024 nomination. Instead, he said that Mr. Trump had proved to be toxic among general election voters, adding that Republicans had lost elections in 2018, 2020 and 2022 on the former president’s watch.

              Mr. Trump’s standing among Republicans dipped in public opinion polls in November and December. In addition to being largely blamed for the Republicans’ disappointing midterm season, he was also roundly criticized after hosting a private dinner — a week after his campaign announcement — with Kanye West, who has been denounced for making antisemitic statements, and Nick Fuentes, an outspoken antisemite and prominent young white supremacist.

              DeSantis Addresses Rumors About First Lady’s Political Future

                Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) addressed rumors his wife Casey could be considering a political future of her own in the near future.

                The Republican governor shot down speculation of his wife’s political ambitions at an event in Coral Gables. Recent polls have suggested that Casey DeSantis would be strongly favored in a hypothetical Republican primary for governor. 

                Asked about those polls, DeSantis smiled and told reporters, “If I had to characterize her interest in getting into the political thicket as a candidate, I would say, I would characterize it as zero. But, you know, I think it’s because she has had a front row seat on all the nonsense that goes on when you do it.”

                In an interview with Fox News’ Harris Faulkner in 2023, DeSantis said “humility” is what defined her as the first lady of the Sunshine State.

                “I think one who looks at the role with a lot of humility,” Casey said. “It isn’t about me. It is about being in a position to be able to do good on behalf of the people of this state and hopefully of this country.”

                Before her husband’s election as governor in 2018, DeSantis enjoyed a career as a television host, reporter and anchor.

                Missouri Senate Passes Trump-Backed Plan That Could Help Republicans Win an Additional US House Seat

                A big win for GOP…

                Missouri Republicans handed President Donald Trump a political victory Friday, giving final legislative approval to a redistricting plan that could help Republicans win an additional U.S. House seat in next year’s elections.

                The Senate vote sends the redistricting plan to Republican Gov. Mike Kehoe for his expected signature to make it law. But opponents immediately announced a referendum petition that, if successful, could force a statewide vote on the new map.

                Missouri is the third state to take up mid-decade redistricting this year.

                Each seat could be critical, because Democrats need to gain just three seats to win control of the House, which would allow them to obstruct Trump’s agenda and launch investigations into him.

                Republicans currently hold six of Missouri’s eight U.S. House seats. The revised map passed the state House earlier this week as the focal point of a special session called by Gov. Kehoe.

                Missouri’s revised map targets a seat held by Democratic U.S. Rep. Emanuel Cleaver.

                Senate Democrat Claims ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’ Is Leading Democrat Party

                Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) is drawing fresh attention—and likely some backlash—after bluntly arguing that his own party lacks clear leadership and is instead being driven by what he called “Trump Derangement Syndrome.”

                Appearing on the All-In Podcast, Fetterman was asked a straightforward question by host David Friedberg: “Who do you think leads the Democratic Party today?”

                Fetterman’s response was equally direct: “we don’t have one,” before adding a sharper critique. He said he believes “TDS” is “the leader right now,” explaining, “our party is governed by the TDS.”

                “TDS,” short for “Trump Derangement Syndrome,” is a term popular among Trump allies and critics of the left, used to describe what they see as reflexive or excessive opposition to former President Donald Trump. Fetterman’s willingness to adopt the phrase publicly sets him apart from most Democratic lawmakers, who typically reject the framing.

                He doubled down on the point later in the interview, reiterating, “You asked me earlier, what’s the leader of the Democratic Party right now. I would say it’s TDS.” To illustrate his argument, Fetterman added that Trump “could come out for ice cream and lazy Sundays and now, suddenly, Democrats would hate it. We would wanna vote it down.”

                The Pennsylvania senator has increasingly positioned himself as an independent voice within the party, particularly on foreign policy. During the same podcast, he emphasized his support for aggressive U.S. action abroad, specifically referencing Operation Epic Fury, a U.S. strike targeting Iran.

                Fetterman said that he is “literally the only Democrat in America, uh, in Congress, that I’ve come across that’s saying, I think it’s a great thing to break and destroy the Iranian regime. I think it’s entirely appropriate to hold them accountable.”

                His comments reflect a broader pattern: Fetterman has often broken with progressive Democrats on national security and Middle East policy. He has been one of the most vocal Democratic supporters of Israel following the October 7 attacks, a stance that has at times put him at odds with members of his own party’s base.

                “As a Democrat, I’m deeply proud to stand with Israel through the horror of 10/07,” Fetterman wrote in a recent post on X. “I’m deeply proud of our military and what they’ve accomplished in Epic Fury. Picking country over party is never wrong.”

                Taken together, Fetterman’s remarks highlight an ongoing tension within the Democratic Party: a divide between lawmakers who prioritize opposition to Trump and those, like Fetterman, who argue the party needs a more defined agenda—and a clearer leader.

                Report: Trump is Sole Living President Not Descended from Slaveholders

                  A recent report from Reuters has liberals’ minds exploding.

                  A report found that all living U.S. presidents are descending from slaveholders, except for one. President Donald J. Trump.

                  Fox News has more:

                  The report detailed the ancestry of America’s leaders as of the 117th Congress. The report found that five living presidents, two Supreme Court justices, 11 governors and 100 members of Congress had ancestors who owned slaves.

                  Presidents Biden, Carter, George W. Bush, Clinton and Obama all have ancestors who enslaved Black people in their family trees, according to the report, with Obama’s link coming from his White mother’s side.

                  However, Donald Trump’s family did not immigrate to the United States until after slavery was abolished.

                  At the Supreme Court, only Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Neil Gorsuch had slaveholding ancestors. Meanwhile, another recent report from the Washington Post found that Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson had ancestors who were enslaved, while her husband, Patrick Jackson, has ancestors who were slaveholders.

                  In Congress, Reuters found at least 100 lawmakers who could trace their family trees to slaveholders, including 28 senators and 72 representatives.

                  Prominent names included Sens. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., Tom Cotton, R-Ark., Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill.

                  The nation mourns an icon…

                  President Donald Trump reacted to the news of the death of Rev. Jesse Jackson in a Tuesday Truth Social post.

                  Trump said he knew Jackson “well” and described the 84-year-old civil rights leader as “a good man.”

                  “The Reverend Jesse Jackson is Dead at 84. I knew him well, long before becoming President. He was a good man, with lots of personality, grit, and “street smarts.” He was very gregarious – Someone who truly loved people!” the president said in the post.

                  “Despite the fact that I am falsely and consistently called a Racist by the Scoundrels and Lunatics on the Radical Left, Democrats ALL, it was always my pleasure to help Jesse along the way,” Trump continued.

                  “I provided office space for him and his Rainbow Coalition, for years, in the Trump Building at 40 Wall Street; Responded to his request for help in getting CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM passed and signed, when no other President would even try; Single handedly pushed and passed long term funding for Historically Black Colleges & Universities (HBCUs), which Jesse loved, but also, which other Presidents would not do; Responded to Jesse’s support for Opportunity Zones, the single most successful economic development package yet approved for Black business men/women, and much more,” the president added.

                  “Jesse was a force of nature like few others before him. He had much to do with the Election, without acknowledgment or credit, of Barack Hussein Obama, a man who Jesse could not stand. He loved his family greatly, and to them I send my deepest sympathies and condolences. Jesse will be missed!” Trump concluded.
