“Donald Trump proposed replacing Cherry Grove on Fire Island in New York with a golf course.”
The evidence does not support any proposal to replace Cherry Grove on Fire Island with a golf course. Reporting concerns a golf-course redevelopment plan at East Potomac in Washington, D.C., where a grove of cherry trees could be affected. The claim appears to stem from confusing a cherry-tree grove in D.C. with Cherry Grove, the New York community.
“New York State enacted a law that removed the terms "mother" and "father" from New York State birth certificates and replaced them with gender-neutral parental labels.”
New York did not remove “mother” and “father” from state birth certificates. The governing birth-certificate law allows those terms to remain and added “parent” as an additional option. Separate legislation updated gendered terminology in family-court and domestic-relations statutes, but that is not the same as changing birth-certificate labels.
“Zohran Mamdani's administration secured $7.6 billion in New York State aid for New York City through a partnership with New York Governor Kathy Hochul.”
A major Hochul-Mamdani budget deal for New York City is real, but the claim overstates both the number and the credit. The evidence describes the package as nearly $8 billion, not a documented $7.6 billion in state aid secured by Mamdani’s administration. Official sources also place primary responsibility on Hochul and the state legislature, with the mayor as a partner and advocate rather than the sole or main actor.
“U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi asked a federal judge in New York to deny the appointment of a special master to monitor the release of the "Epstein files."”
The court record does not show Pam Bondi personally asked the judge to deny a special master. The opposition was filed by U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton on behalf of the Southern District of New York, and the cited sources do not attribute that request to Bondi by name. The claim misidentifies the actor at the center of the event.
