Trump cut Grand Staircase-Escalante and Bears Ears by nearly 3M acres using a 6-word clause buried in a 1906 law in July & NPCA toured them & the Grand Staircase itself is now outside its own monument. Mining claims were filed within hours. A tribal commission was dissolved. Full story below. 🧵

What will Grand Staircase-Escalante be without its Grand Staircase?

This September should have been its 30th anniversary. Three decades of protecting rock formations found nowhere else, sacred sites, some of the darkest skies left in the country, and a desert river that keeps elk and mule deer alive. Instead, NPCA staff drove through a landscape being dismantled.

Grand Staircase-Escalante and Bears Ears are down nearly 3 million acres combined. The Grand Staircase itself, the formation the monument is named for, is now entirely outside its boundary.

Trump did this by way of the Antiquities Act of 1906, the same law that lets presidents create national monuments in the first place. Every president who's expanded these monuments, including the one who created this one, has argued their boundaries met exactly the standard the law requires, because the sacred sites, fossil beds, and ecosystems they're protecting are themselves spread across millions of acres.

But Trump is now using a seldom-invoked, six-word clause buried in that same law to claim the opposite: that decades of scientific and Tribal judgment about what this land requires were simply wrong, and that he, alone, gets to redraw it smaller.

Trump and Burgum can spin that clause however they want. Courts have never said a president can use it to erase a monument he didn't create. NPCA's lawsuit argues he can't.

This isn't improvised. Project 2025 named this exact cut years ago, in writing, calling it a "90% downward adjustment," and criticized the first Trump term for only touching two monuments in one state. This time, they're going further.

Companies didn't wait. Some filed mining claims the very day the land opened, dozens more within weeks.

BLM also tore down Bears Ears' signs, including the seals of the five Tribes on the Bears Ears Commission, the first tribal-led monument management body in U.S. history. It was dissolved the same day, despite a written promise the Tribes would be consulted first. They weren't.

The coalition behind it is still standing. Co-chair Davina Smith-Idjesa: "You can abolish a commission, you can redraw a boundary, but you cannot erase our prayers from this land."

Two-thirds of Americans say the Iran war was a mistake. Even 40% of Republicans — the 'support every war' crowd — agree. When that many people cross the aisle on a war, something's shifting. Listen to what voters are actually saying.

Trump decimated research slashing 95,000 jobs across federal science agencies. The government lost over 10,000 STEM Ph.D. scientists who were pushed out, fired, or forced to retire in the first year alone. Trump abruptly fired all 22 members of the National Science Board with zero explanation.

Northern spotted owls can only survive in one place: old-growth forest with big, ancient trees. 🌳 In 2020, the government's own scientists said this owl should be upgraded to "endangered." They still haven't done it. Five years of nothing. Meanwhile the owl keeps disappearing. (Con’t ⬇️)

A northern spotted owl with deep black eyes and brown-and-white mottled plumage looks directly toward the camera from a forest perch. Soft green leaves blur the foreground, with the surrounding woodland out of focus.

Take a 👀 at this — it’s called the "Save Our Sequoias Act." And it does the opposite of what it says. S. 4103 just passed the House and sits in the Senate right now, and it would let logging companies cut down mature, thousand year old sequoias, no limit on how many, no limit on their size or age.

A person walks along a forest trail between towering giant sequoia trees. Massive reddish-brown trunks rise high into the canopy, with sunlight streaming through the grove and illuminating the bark. A fallen log crosses the path in the distance, emphasizing the immense scale of the ancient trees.

This is the pattern with Trump. He doesn’t start with laws. He starts with lies. “Fake news.” “Stolen election.” Now “nationalize elections.” That’s the scam: normalize the lie, float authoritarian ideas, dare the system to stop him — then push further when it doesn’t. #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice
