‘Illegal’ forest service overhaul risks causing ‘chaos’ across US public lands, union claims The restructuring will close all regional offices, which manages 193m acres of land, roughly the size of Texas

We remember the disastrous dismantling of the Bureau of Land Management under the guise of a reorganization during Trump 1.0. Don’t buy their B.S. about the USDA Forest Service. The intent is to do harm. https://bit.ly/41Yartj

Flatterers out in force to fill Trump’s head with Venezuelan statue dreams President’s popularity top of mind at another weird and wild cabinet meeting – riff on merits of Sharpies included

Burgum doesn’t miss an opportunity to suck up to Trump, and their latest cabinet meeting was no different. He claimed that the Venezuelans are going to build a statue of Trump...as a “thank you” for taking their oil for American special interests?

The Trump admin is illegally closing every Forest Service regional office across the country, firing hundreds of civil servants, and installing political allies, like billionaire Michael Boren.

It's more corruption and cronyism, and our public lands are paying the price.

Doug Burgum Plans To Kill National Park Visitors This Summer National Parks are being set up to fail-by-design, in order to justify their sale

While Doug Burgum guts protections for endangered species and gallivants around the globe, his fail-by-design plan for our National Parks here at home is still in full swing. And his reckless budget cuts are putting American lives at risk. https://bit.ly/4v3VjrD

Doug Burgum’s joke of an energy agenda has meant skyrocketing prices and low supply. But that’s what happens when you pay an energy company $1 billion in tax dollars to *cancel* a wind energy development project that would’ve *increased* America’s supply and *lowered* families’ utility rates.

The Burgum Big Oil Playbook:

1. Trump and Burgum cancel clean energy projects across the country, restricting supply

2. The admin engages in foreign adventurism around the world for oil

3. Burgum’s losing energy agenda makes Big Oil rich while Americans pay higher prices

The 'God Squad' Waives Environmental Rules for Offshore Drilling The panel voted to override Endangered Species Act restrictions on oil and gas activities in the Gulf of Mexico, home to critically endangered whales and other imperiled wildlife.

ESA protections haven’t ever been exempted before. But it only took Doug Burgum and his “God Squad” 15 minutes to illegally condemn multiple species to extinction last week, including the Rice’s Whale. Why? In service of billionaire Big Oil donors. https://nyti.ms/4vaIf3U

NDGOP convention notebook: Vance wins straw poll for 2028 presidential candidate, Burgum draws boos • North Dakota Monitor Vice President JD Vance was the favored 2028 presidential candidate in a straw poll of some North Dakota Republican delegates during the weekend’s state convention.

Doug Burgum couldn’t manage to get more than a single vote at the North Dakota GOP’s recent convention. Even Kristi Noem did better. Just the mention of Burgum’s name drew audible boos. That’s what happens when you betray your home state’s values. https://bit.ly/3PJ8DBF

Doug Burgum claims he and Trump are delivering “the lowest energy prices in the world” at the same time Americans are paying almost $4.00 for a gallon of regular gas and $5.00 for diesel. No one is buying Burgum’s “energy dominance” schtick, but we’re all paying for it.

Doug Burgum isn’t protecting America’s wildlife heritage. He’s auctioning it off to oil executives and calling it “energy dominance.” Congress must demand answers, enforce the law, and hold Burgum accountable before Rice’s Whale is gone for good.

Last night, we shined a light on Doug Burgum’s God complex. We projected this message onto the facade of Interior to call out Burgum’s anti-American censorship, and his anti-science scheme to circumvent the Endangered Species Act on behalf of Big Oil. https://bit.ly/4tjOh0n

Tomorrow, Burgum will convene the so-called “God Squad” at the Interior Department to consider granting Big Oil an exemption from the Endangered Species Act. If granted, the exemption could be the nail in the coffin for species like sea turtles, sharks, and the Rice’s whale.
