    LOL, a fourth Trump cabinet member uses expensive private charter airplanes for non-government purposes at tax payers' expense...

    Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke’s private plane travel looks pretty . . . swampy

    He didn't say "drain the swamp" he said "train the swamp."

    Despite pledge, Trump company works with a foreign entity. Again.

    Of course, Trump's promises are not worth the air they are made of...

    In between selling U.S. Monument lands to oil companies, Interior Secretary Zinke has been dipping into taxpayer money to support his horseback riding needs...

    Zinke booked government helicopters to attend D.C. events

    The amount of cronyism is beyond compare in this administration, and that was a high bar to pass after the Jr. admin.

    Team-building? I can spend corporate dollars to go horseback riding with a big executive in my company and no one would think twice about it. Cultivating relationships is important to the success of your department. Now, I probably can't get away with expensing a helicopter ride, but I bet my boss could.
