The Republican playbook as of late:
1) Sell out public lands by passing Trump's big, ugly budget bill.
2) Cause a government shutdown.
3) Use antiquated legislative procedures to put even more public lands at risk.
4) Do all of this instead of prioritizing funding the government.

Coal is the most dangerous, polluting, and expensive way to produce power.
Yet, the Trump administration announced it plans to open 13.1 million acres of public land to coal leasing and give away $625 million to subsidize coal-fired power plants.

Trump's big, bad budget bill is already proving devastating for local communities. Forcing Hopi officials to choose who does or doesn't get power — all so Republicans can pay for tax cuts for billionaires — is unconscionable.
