  • Hey @secretaryburgum is this the reflecting pool you envisioned? The Trump administration spent $14M renovating the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. It wanted to fix leaks, paint it “American flag blue,” and get rid of algae. Just days after the work was complete, algae came back in full force, turning the whole pool green. Video taken on 6/18/25. #reflectingpool #burgum #washington #nationalparks #greenpool

  • 🤥 caught red handed 🤥 Doug Burgum was lying the whole time. And he STILL stands by it. There was no vandalism. There were no box cutters. And there was never any photo or video evidence of vandals cutting the pool. It was just shoddy work, done in a rush, at an expensive rate. Plain and simple. #reflectingpool #lincolnmemorial #publicland #roasted #burgum

  • Trump's "energy czar" doesn't seem to understand the concept of batteries. 🤔🪫 Big ups to Rhode Island @rep.sethmagaziner for explaining this incredible technology to our illustrious Secretary of the Interior. ✅🔋 Source: HNRC hearing 5/13/26 #publiclands #renewableenergy #dougburgum #congress #batteries #energystorage #burgumblunders

Figures cover domestic political ads paid in dollars, from 4 May 2026. Spend is the sum of Meta’s range midpoints; impressions above one million are reported as “1M+”, so impression figures are floors. Each ad counts in the week its delivery started, with its lifetime spend at our last pull; ads still running before the vote are counted as of 31 October 2026.
