President Grant signed The Yellowstone National Park Protection Act into law on March 1, 1872; establishing Yellowstone as the first national park of the USA and the world: preventing private development. Trump executive orders aim to open vast amounts of public land for logging, drilling & mining.

The problem is that the Mining Act of 1872 is still in effect and it basically gives carte blanche to anyone to mine anything on federal land. The solution is to reform that law generally, not hinge everything on a religious argument about a single place.

8. Hardrock Mining Under the 1872 Mining Law, mining companies extract gold, silver, and lithium on public land royalty-free—often with little or no modern environmental review. The damage? Taxpayers clean it up. #PublicLands

The fact is Trump not only lost his war but it's the biggest L the US has taken at least since Vietnam. Our bases are destroyed & abandoned, Iran is emboldened, China is toying w/ us. Hegseth & co want to move on to culture war slop, but they got routed & we'll be dealing w/repercussions for decades

Pretty clear to me there’s a very good case against this man for mass murder, and I’m saying that in as measured a fashion as I can. He’s order the killing of 234 people under no plausible war or legal justification. I am skeptical he will ever face legal accountability for til his but he should.

Kremlin-affiliated outlets continue framing EU member states as warmongers unwilling to end the war. In reality, Russia rejected seven peace proposals last year alone, while Europe’s increased defence spending is a response to the growing Russian threat.

Jack Smith is testifying before the Senate this morning, and a GOP Senator just grilled him about being at an Atlanta Hawks game in ATL, and accused him of perjury bc he denied this was the case. Turns out, it was an Iowa HAWKEYES game in Maryland. These are the most unserious people ever.
