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

Doug Burgum has been given countless opportunities to show he gives a damn about our parks and public lands, and every time, he makes it clear he doesn’t. His new budget that would mean longer lines, less safety personnel, and more chaos for visitors. bit.ly/41XqNCr
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.

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
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
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
A growing chorus of voices from Doug Burgum’s home state is calling out his betrayal of North Dakota values.
The man who once embraced wind power is now paying an energy company $1 billion in taxpayer money to abandon wind projects. And that’s not all. bit.ly/4bOT0jp
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.
The most important thing on Burgum’s fail-by-design checklist:
Set up parks & public lands to be sold off. Whether it’s transferring ownership, giving them away to extractive industries, or disposing of federal public lands, once they’re gone, they’re gone for good.

Say it with us: This is what corruption looks like!
There is something rotten inside of Doug Burgum’s fiefdom. Congress must take action!

3rd on Burgum’s fail-by-design checklist: Mismanage our parks & public lands into the ground.
Interior has shed thousands of rangers, scientists, and maintenance crews, and the economic damage fans out directly to gateway communities.

Raise your hand 🙋if like censorship! Censorship Secretary Burgum continues his reign of erasing history, silencing science, and censorship across America’s parks and public lands. #SaveOurParks #KeepItPublic bit.ly/4lPfyFo
2nd on Burgum’s fail-by-design checklist: UnAmerican censorship, erasing history, & silencing science.
The Secretary of Censorship is overseeing a sweeping purge of science, history, and culture from our parks and public lands. bit.ly/40Sl803
Many parks saw a dip in visitor numbers in 2025 because of Trump’s historic government shutdown and Burgum’s mismanagement of our parks. Small businesses in our gateway communities suffer under Burgum and his cronies. #SaveOurParks https://bit.ly/3NVOebW
1st on Burgum’s fail-by-design checklist: Fill the Interior Department with cronies.
Whether it’s Karen Budd-Falen, “Selloff Steve” Pearce, Scott Socha, Kevin Lilly, or Kate MacGregor, Burgum's corruption and mismanagement is being paid for by you, the taxpayers. bit.ly/4rPRMua
The economic impacts of Burgum’s mismanagement of our cherished parks is coming home to roost. #SaveOurParks

Time and time again, Burgum has failed to deliver on lowering costs. Instead, for over a year now, he has doubled down on his fail-by-design checklist undermining America’s beloved national parks and public lands. It’s as risky as it is costly. #KeepItPublic

This current energy crisis is one of Burgum’s own making, given that he blocked and slashed clean energy projects across the country, increasing our reliance on fossil fuels and driving up utility costs for American families even before the latest war. https://bit.ly/3PAkeTj
Karen Budd-Falen, who's now the #3 person at Interior, promised not to work on, or even discuss, grazing matters due to her clear conflicts of interest. But under Doug Burgum's watch, she still maintained stakes in ranching operations and is openly working on grazing. https://bit.ly/4t0H19E
During the biggest energy crisis in years, Doug Burgum has been AWOL, earning the nickname “Where’s Waldo” for partying with Rupert Murdoch and playing with IndyCars instead of working to relieve Americans’ financial pain. politi.co/4biGREB
As oil hit $100 per barrel and gas prices spiked over 70 cents in two weeks, Burgum fumbled, twisting himself into a pretzel saying that soaring gas prices were a “temporary issue” before claiming that the U.S. is “insulated” against those rising prices. politi.co/4biGREB
Burgum’s condescending remarks reveal again that he thinks conservation is for the ignorant, and that our great outdoors and birthright should be handed over to extractive industries that, like him, view our natural heritage as just numbers on a balance sheet. https://bit.ly/4sI7HLW
🚨Last week, Doug Burgum dismissed Americans who are rightfully concerned about special interests exploiting our public lands as financially illiterate, saying those of us who want to protect our land “don’t understand the financial impact.” https://bit.ly/4sI7HLW
Republicans introduced a resolution to scrap protections for Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, pushing for more drilling and mining instead. Leading the charge is Mike Lee, who has spent a year trying to sell off America’s great outdoors.
