Imagine any other president forcing a grotesque public display of their own birthday down the nation's throat from the White House lawn in a shameless demonstration of megalomania that Saddam Hussein would've been embarrassed by, then having the gall to hand the bill for it to American taxpayers.

Public lands opponent Senator Mike Lee of Utah has an amendment to KILL the Roadless Rule nationwide before the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee TODAY. Call your U.S. senators NOW at (202) 224-3121 and tell them to VOTE NO on Mike Lee's sickening amendment to kill the Roadless Rule!

The living memory of those who lived through the 1930s and 40s are largely gone — part of the reason the world is now experiencing a resurgence of authoritarianism and military adventurism. They left a wealth of history of hard-won lessons behind that today, sadly, no one bothers to digest or apply.

If you voted for Trump because he's not "woke," you're getting your wish. How long are Republicans going to tolerate this Weekend at Bernie's shit? The press must stop normalizing this. We're the United States of America and the president is a zombie. Imagine ANY OTHER LEADER nodding off like this.

As a conservationist I've had issues with the U.S. Forest Service, but I never wanted the agency eradicated, just more holistically led. Congress MUST stand up for the USFS, its expertise, their enforcement of laws like the ESA, NEPA, and others, and against this regime's Orwellian "reorganization."

We went from being the envy of the world on the eve of the 2024 presidential election to Trump and his regime dismantling America's administrative state out of ignorance, and making us a pariah state bullying the globe, insulting allies, and cratering our planet's economy to benefit the wealthy.

Take action NOW and oppose the BLM's renewal of large-scale old-growth and mature forest logging on 2.5 million acres in Oregon, including the O&C Lands and their thousands of acres of primeval habitat — the last refuge of the northern spotted owl and marbled murrelet.

More of this LBJ-style utilization of power vibe, please. Nancy Pelosi: "We're gonna win the House — we only need a few to win, but I want 10 times that. If we need three to win the House, I want 30 — we came out ahead on redistricting. They should never have gone down that path. They did, we won."

Whether shaking too many hands or hitting a table, the generous spread of "cover up" makeup slathered over Trump's diseased hands is disgusting. That's all I can think of when I see photos of it. How many months ago was that guy making the podcast rounds saying Trump only had four more months?

As ‬‪Andy Zahn notes‬ there are only a few hours left to tell the Wash. Board of Natural Resources to reject more timber sales in legacy forests. The agency is also planning to sell off public lands in Eastern Wash. Take action at the link and follow Andy for his full thread. tinyurl.com/5en3x5xa

Really disappointed with Dave Upthegrove. I ran for office and I know how hard it is, but I can't understand how people run, take endorsements, and then do the opposite of what they ran on upon winning. DNR plans to sell off public lands and clearcut 1,000 acres of forest. WTF. tinyurl.com/yk3favt5

The seven Vichy Democrats who voted to approve the American Gestapo and DHS funding without guardrails are Tom Suozzi (NY-03), Henry Cuellar (TX-28), Don Davis (NC-01), Laura Gillen (NY-04), Jared Golden (ME-02), Vicente Gonzalez (TX-34), and Marie Glusenkamp Perez (WA-03). They've killed democracy.

For 10 years we said Trump is a Russian asset. He is! Trump handed NATO to Russia after 80 years of global stability because Trump didn't WIN THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE which he thinks Norway decides (they don't) and which he told Norway is his pretext for invading Greenland, which belongs to Denmark.

ICE is preparing a fresh campaign of tyranny. San Diego friends, whether you're native born or naturalized THIS LAWLESS, RACIST REGIME DOESN'T CARE. Memorize key phone numbers like your lawyer. If approached, ask if you're free to go. If detained, you have nothing to say until you speak to a lawyer.

The evidence is indisputable but like the murder machine it is, ICE will now hide the agent responsible with FBI help. This administration never had moral standing, and now it has zero standing at all. ICE has permission to murder Americans without accountability. It must not receive another dollar.

Here's J.D. Vance's Jan. 31st, 2023, op/ed in the Wall Street Journal, aging like fine vinegar. J.D. was already in full "look at me!" kiss ass mode by this point, barely a month after he was sworn in as the junior U.S. senator from Ohio and 18 months before he was selected as Trump's running mate.

Apparently military brass are now referring to Trump and Pete Hegseth as Fat Man and Little Boy after their weird, immature, ultimately despotic waste of time on Tuesday. If the shoe fits. But it's still terrifying these impulse-driven assholes have access to nuclear weapons.

Take a good look. This is the homepage of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development lying to you on your dime, blaming the "radical left" for the federal government shutdown despite the fact Republicans control THE ENTIRE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. This goes beyond autocracy straight to 1984.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." Get familiar with it.

Congratulations America, your country has been stolen from you. While this may not be the end, we have no choice but to go forward as loudly and uncompliantly as possible. Military, politicians, museum curators, everyone: STOP complying in advance. STOP complying with madness. STOP COMPLYING.

This Wednesday is the 60th anniversary of LBJ signing the Voting Rights Act into law. The Act prohibits racial discrimination in voting and is clearly still needed today, especially with Texas' mid-decade redistricting push — but the Act was largely dismantled by the Roberts Supreme Court in 2013.

Just a reminder to the idiots at the Democratic Party who think this is how you frame an effective appeal. Stop recycling subject lines from 2024 and start promoting quality candidates, and get them in front of people, NOW. You know, INSPIRE voters. Then maybe we'll fund candidates, not the party.

Congressional Republicans just voted to decimate National Parks to pay for billions of dollars in tax cuts for psychopath billionaires like Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and others. They haven't just slashed budgets, they've cratered National Parks to the point where they can barely function.

The Republican public lands selloff is BACK. Hey Senator Mike Lee, what the hell did we just say? NO public lands sales. No compromise. Not today. Not ever. Don't expect We the People to subsidize mega-estates and massive hunting and game preserves for billionaires or tech tyrants. DEFEAT THE BILL.

Trump and Netanyahu are alike in they're war-mongering, repressive fascists, but they're also alike in that they need to remain in office to stay out of jail. For Netanyahu, that means keeping Israel in a state of permanent war. Only a jackass like Trump would handcuff our country to this asshole.

No light between us and @padilla.senate.gov today. Thank you sir for courageously doing your job, asking questions, and standing for our democracy. This FASCIST and AUTHORITARIAN regime must be brought to a swift end, and the American people must SEE IT THROUGH with the rule of law and democracy.

Today, and the days that follow, may well determine the survival of American democracy as we've known it for 250 years, or mark its end with tyranny. If you're issued an immoral order that goes against your oath to uphold and defend the Constitution, call the G.I. Rights Hotline at 1 (877) 447-4487.

If Operation Overlord had failed and the Allies were thrown back into the sea, it could've resulted in the exit of the U.S. from the Allied effort to focus solely on the Pacific, and possibly even the Soviet Union making a separate peace with Germany. We take for granted that D-Day was a success.
