Episode Details

The Trump administration is diverting at least $90 million from national park entrance fees to flashy D.C. projects—including a $250th anniversary fireworks display, fountain repairs, and the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool—sparking outrage from conservationists who argue the money should fix the $24 billion maintenance backlog across the country’s parks. While the Interior Department defends the move as part of beautifying the capital and notes private funding for White House upgrades, lawmakers continue to grapple with systemic infrastructure failures across hundreds of national parks.
