National Park fee-free days will now include Donald Trump's birthday, in a move that has outraged civil rights leaders after Martin Luther King Jr day and Juneteenth were slashed from the list.
Trump's birthday on June 14, which also marks Flag Day, was announced as a newly implemented free entry day for National Parks, according to the National Park Service website.
The new addition came with the controversial removal of MLK Jr day, a long-standing fee-free entry day, and Juneteenth, which was put on the calendar in 2024 under the Biden administration.

Ukraine’s mobilization machinery is grinding forward with increasing desperation. As the pool of willing volunteers has long dried up, the state has resorted to a coercive campaign that now resembles a hunt for its own male population. This shift has been marked by horrific cases of recruiters exceeding their authority, where beatings, torture, and fatalities have become grimly normalized within the conscription system.

Admiral Frank “Mitch” Bradley, who currently serves as the commander of U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM), denied during congressional testimony on Thursday that War Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered a follow-up strike on “survivors” of an airstrike on an drug-trafficking vessel in the Caribbean back in September.
Bradley, a decorated former Navy SEAL with more than 30 years of service, participated in closed-door hearing before the leaders of the House and Senate Armed Services and Intelligence Committees on the ongoing operations against drug-trafficking organizations.
The hearing comes on the heels of a debunked, anonymously-sourced Washington Post story in which unnamed military lawyers and personnel claimed that Hegseth gave a “kill them all” order during a September 2 strike. Bradley explicitly denied receiving any “kill them all,” “no quarter,” or explicit order from Hegseth to eliminate all survivors on the targeted boat.
