I traveled to Western Montana to write about how two years of Trump have completely reshaped a House race that shouldn't be competitive for Dems. Here's my story about Sam Forstag, the smokejumper Democrat, leading our new @washingtonsun.bsky.social homepage: www.washingtonsun.com/2026-electio...

We asked current staff and former superintendents what the reorganization could mean. Here’s the former superintendent of Glacier National Park:

Trump is officially trying to delist the gray wolf and Mexican wolf as endangered species. He slipped that move into the executive order today that was ostensibly meant to appease cattle ranchers furious that he's allowing new beef imports.

NEWS: A federal judge just gave bison conservation org American Prairie a TRO + prelim injunction against the Trump admin. Last year, Interior revoked American Prairie's long-held bison grazing permits at the request of Montana's gov. Today's ruling was pretty harsh about that.

The Pentagon doesn’t make it easy, but I’ve done some digging and found that some of the sites with PFAS already contaminating the drinking water are also places with the longest cleanup delays.

The National Park Service will spend $2.7 million this year on a new water treatment contract for the Reflecting Pool. The contract was given to AmericanAg Energy, which specializes in powering indoor greenhouses and has never received a federal government contract.

I scooped that the Trump administration wants to pursue a Yosemite land swap. If you thought my story was important: What other quiet conversations are happening out of the public eye? What else don’t we know about America’s public lands? If you know something, plz reach out.

This is perhaps the most incongruous reassignment of those shared with me. A person with a lifetime history in wildlife management, now in charge of natural disaster risks at the geological survey.

The ANC districts for the areas that represent West Potomac Park and the White House are both currently vacant — and no one is running to fill them for next year. A thankless job, but surprised that there isn't an enterprising GW student seizing the symbolic opportunity there.

Freedom250 — the Trump-aligned group — just got another $13 million from the Interior Department. The total amount transferred from Interior to Freedom250 is now $81.5 million taxpayer dollars. We still don't know which 250th events have been paid for with that money.

Anna Kramer @annackramer.bsky.social · 16/07/2026

Remember when Freedom250 spilled some diesel on the National Mall in May? It cost the National Park Service nearly $2 million to clean that up, according to the rushed, no-bid contract I just found.

Last week, I broke that the Park Service spent $5 million gilding horse statues in DC. Yesterday, I reported that Trump’s Freedom 250 got $68 million so far from Interior, while America 250 has $100 million shortfall. 🚨What should be next? Send me your tips!! Signal is annakramer.54

NEWS: The Trump administration is now "reviewing" whether the Rice's whale is actually endangered. There are only about ~50 of those whales left in the Gulf of Mexico. Last month, the "God Squad" gave the oil industry a pass on the law that requires them to protect those whales.

Looks like the Trump admin quietly cancelled an Interior Department program for canal improvements. Just so many cancellations over the last year that the smaller things are slipping under the radar. From Interior's inspector general report👇

Wow. Kristi Noem out, Sen. Markwayne Mullin will be Trump's nominee for the next DHS secretary.

Anna Kramer @annackramer.bsky.social · 04/03/2026

Yet another report finds that Kristi Noem has slowed the nation’s disaster response. Remember that delayed search and rescue team for the devastating 2025 Texas floods? There’s more proof her review slowed them down In @notus.com newsletter today 👇 www.notus.org/newsletter?u...

UPDATE: Trump says the US is already chartering flights and booking flights for Americans. But I just called the hotline again, and it STILL begins with: “Do not rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation.” How is anyone supposed to understand that?

Anna Kramer @annackramer.bsky.social · 17/02/2026

Trump and Kristi Noem say that FEMA is now in charge of the Potomac River sewage spill. Normally FEMA doesn't get involved in these types of events. And in this case, doesn't look like FEMA is doing much other than "monitoring." This is from the daily briefing today:

The WSJ story on Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski has a lot of bombshells. But if anyone happens to know anything more about this particular section, please reach out. I am sure there is more to this story. My Signal is annakramer.54

This is what FEMA’s hazard mitigation spending looks like for the last two years. That sudden drop into the red is when Noem’s personal review process began.

NEWS: Trump admin just said they’re cancelling about $30 billion in energy loans that were issued from the Biden admin’s Loan Program Office under @JigarShahDC. Looks like $9.5 billion were related to wind and solar. Would love to see a list of the cancelled loans.

The EO also essentially says that the Secretary of State (Marco Rubio) will determine how the money should be spent “on behalf” of Venezuela.

Anna Kramer @annackramer.bsky.social · 10/01/2026

I’ve been trying to understand to what degree Trump now controls Venezuela’s oil money Today’s EO gives a partial answer Describes the money as “sovereign property of the Government of Venezuela held in custody by the United States, and not as the property of the United States”

Permitting reform is in even more trouble. @heinrich.senate.gov and @whitehouse.senate.gov say “there is no path” to permitting reform after the Trump admin’s attacks on every offshore wind project under construction today. Their statement 👇

ICYMI: Looks as if Interior Department is thinking about firing a bunch of people on Monday, according to a legal filing last night. This would violate a judge’s temporary restraining order on the shutdown firings.

Energy Department finally giving out a list of the offices getting hit with layoffs. The cuts span every office that does work on efficiency, affordability, and clean power. No breakdown of how many people in each office. Also hearing that no one has actually been fired yet.

Anna Kramer @annackramer.bsky.social · 02/10/2025

Energy Sec Chris Wright had lunch with NM @heinrich.senate.gov minutes before the cuts were announced and didn’t tell him it was happening — even though they were cutting 10 projects from his state.

Slipped into a 10:40pm email last night: USDA is “repurposing” $285 million to start a farmer assistance program 1 year earlier than Congress authorized. They don’t say where they are taking the money from — aka the program Congress actually wanted the $280 million to fund

I went to a Heritage Foundation event earlier this year to meet the climate skeptics excited about Trump. Two of the authors of DOE’s new report — dismissing the dangers of climate change — were featured at that event and in a new Heritage book. Details: www.notus.org/climate-envi...

Anna Kramer @annackramer.bsky.social · 29/07/2025

This NYT story doesn’t have the whole picture on FEMA’s response Yes, FEMA only got 2 new search + rescue units active in TX as of yesterday. But 2 other teams, also part of FEMA’s elite search and rescue squads, are based in TX and were activated immediately, alongside the US Coast Guard.

SCOTUS restored permits for an Utah oil railroad today. A small victory for permitting reform — with bigger future implications Brett Kavanaugh eviscerated what NEPA has become in his opinion. I bet this becomes critical for defending infrastructure projects in court now
