BREAKING: Scientists are staging a “science fair” in the lobby of a Congressional building to tell elected officials about the critical knowledge the US will lose because their research grants have been canceled.

Congress is feeling the pressure, and our voices are being heard. Let’s keep it up! If you haven’t reached out yet, call 202-224-3121 or click this link to write your lawmakers: bit.ly/4kRSSmI

Tell the Senate NO to Public Land Sell Offs TAKE ACTION! The Senate wants to sell off 3.3 million acres of public land. That’s 4x the size of Rhode Island. The outdoor community stopped land sales before. We need your voice again.

In the last few days, the outdoor recreation community—skiers, hunters, hikers, paddlers, climbers, everyone who loves the outdoors—have come together to send nearly 400,000 letters to lawmakers with a clear message: Our public lands are not for sale!

I am pretty sure the people have spoken. This isn't what we want. And the whole point of this weekend? A message to our current president: No Kings. You work for us, not the other way around.

Major General Randy E. Manner, former Acting Vice Chief, National Guard Bureau statement to Fox News: “The President's federal deployment of the National Guard over the official wishes of a governor is bad for all Americans concerned about freedom of speech and states rights. The governor has the authority and ability to respond to the civil disturbances with law enforcement capabilities within his state, augmented as necessary by requesting law enforcement assistance from other governors. There are over a million badged and trained members of law enforcement in this country for the governor to ask for help if he needs it. While this is presently a legal order, it tramples the governor’s rights and obligations to protect his people. This is an inappropriate use of the National Guard and is not warranted.”

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.
