Our National Parks are our “crown jewels.” Just one expert was plugging abandoned mines that leak methane and oil into these lands — until this administration let him go. Their reckless cuts endanger Americans and create a new public health crisis.

@neguse.house.gov: "I think it is outrageous for these Republican senators to effectively guarantee themselves million-dollar paydays, a provision in this bill that very clearly applies to them. ... This is insanity to allow this provision to go forward"

🔥 @RepJoeNeguse: “Most of 🇺🇸 will find this REPUGNANT. These senators are guaranteeing themselves million-dollar paydays.” Bipartisan horror at @SenatorHagerty & @MarshaBlackburn’s greedy money grab snuck inside the funding bill— rewarding themselves for getting investigated.

They celebrate punching down. Gleeful when people in desperate circumstances get deported. We can support border security and the law without getting off on the misery of others.

REPORTER: Yesterday you said you were not sure who ordered the munitions ordered to Ukraine. Have you figured it out? TRUMP: I haven't though about it REPORTER: What does it say that such a decision could be made without you knowing? TRUMP: I would know. If a decision was made I will know.

Hard to take seriously the red-white-and-blue rhetoric of freedom on a 4th of July where the US president has cut off aid to a democracy fighting for its independence against ferocious attack by a foreign tyrant.

Don't let them distract you. Republicans are trying to sell off millions of acres of your public lands to billionaire developers — all as they take away your benefits. Now is the time to make some noise.

Conserving our environment is an American value. From hikers to hunters we want to keep our public lands public! Thats why the unprecedented sell-off of millions of acres of public lands needs to be removed from the Senate Budget Bill. Nature is non partisan! 🇺🇸 Pass it on!

It is incredibly dangerous to deploy hundreds of Marines — who are trained in lethal combat, not law enforcement — against American protesters. Absolutely nothing good will come from this.

No one is going to wake up to this shit unless a bomb blows up outside their house or they get targeted by the regime. Until war is occurring people will not see the mess right in front of them. Too much tribalism, too much false information, too much propaganda www.theguardian.com/wellness/ng-...

This unpredictable nature of trade policy, waffling in messaging within hours is a prime reason I'm staying out of the markets. They have no discipline in messaging at best or they're incompetently following the impulses of a 34-time convicted felon who's filed for bankruptcy 6 times in the past.
