New Mexico is home to America's first designated wilderness area, the Gila Wilderness. This National Wilderness Week, let's remember that appreciation for our public lands is something that unifies all Americans and that our wilderness areas are worth protecting.

Good. DOE has illegally kept old coal plants running—costing ratepayers millions. No one asked them to do this—and it needs to stop.

Sen. Heinrich: I find that not credible. Why is your testimony in contradiction of the DOE's own lawyers?

In 2024, visitors to our national parks supported 340,000 jobs and generated $56 billion in economic activity. Our national parks are worth our support.

America's national parks face $24 billion in deferred maintenance needs to keep them safe and open. But the Trump admin is using hundreds of millions of dollars for the President’s vanity projects. We should be investing in the parks that belong to all of us.

Colorado: today’s the day to get out into the great outdoors and experience our four breathtaking national parks FOR FREE! Today is the 110th birthday of the National Park Service! We’re honoring the dedication of thousands of NPS workers who help keep our public lands in tip-top shape.

On August 25, 1916, the National Park Service was created to protect America’s national treasures, preserving them for generations to come. Today, celebrate its 110th birthday by exploring a National Park with FREE entrance, and share what our parks mean to you.

The American wilderness is one of our greatest natural treasures. Now Trump wants to open it up to his development buddies. As Joni Mitchell would say: they’re trying to pave paradise to put up a parking lot.

Wildfires are 4 times more likely to start near roads than in roadless areas. More roads = more fire. Trump is selling out your public lands for development while over 2.6 million acres of Oregon burn in a record wildfire season.

The Roadless Rule protects our irreplaceable roadless areas. Americans have been clear – repeatedly and across party lines – that we don’t want Trump screwing with our public lands. Someone needs to tell him to get out of his golf cart and touch some grass.

Every day the Iran war drags on, Americans pay the price. Donald Trump has little incentive to end it when his billionaire friends keep getting richer while working people struggle to fill their tanks and pay for the basics.

President Trump delayed programs to fight wildfires and pushed out thousands of USFS employees to be more “efficient. Now Superior National Forest is facing the deadly consequences of those decisions. There’s nothing efficient about that.

Donald Trump promised to bring down your energy costs on day one, and instead he raised the cost of every single form of energy. And he killed your neighbor's job. Democrats are going to bring down energy costs and put your neighbors back to work.

The Grand Staircase transcends time and connects 150 miles of cliffs from the Grand Canyon to Bryce Canyon. Trump left it out of his re-drawn Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. Stealing from our shared heritage, and the legacy we will leave future generations.

Effective wildfire management requires targeted, science-based treatments. Instead, the Trump administration is advancing an “emergency” massive logging proposal with little transparency and almost no public input — putting industry profits ahead of your public lands.

Today’s executive action is another chapter in Trump’s War on the West. Bears Ears and Grand Staircase belong to the American people, not billionaires looking to profit off public lands. It's a slap in the face to Tribes, local communities, & future generations. Now is the time to raise your voice.

Trump promised a $1.8 million Reflecting Pool renovation. Instead, taxpayers are on the hook for more than $16 million for a failed project that isn’t even finished. We're demanding answers from Secretary Burgum.

Trump says he "loves" inflation. We can tell. Since he took office, people in Hawaii are paying $872 MORE for housing, $310 MORE for groceries, and $263 MORE for gas. $4,100 MORE because Trump prioritizes anything but lowering costs for Americans.
