We’re starting with the battles won. Join us to talk public lands and why our fight matters—bug swarms & all!

While “Fiscal Conservatives” are issuing strongly worded letters to House Leadership (for real, that actually happened) — Republicans have stalled out on the Floor without enough votes to move to the #BigUglyBill. Here’s your mid-afternoon update. ⬇️

Rep. Stansbury is a must follow for important, up to the minute information about what’s going on in Congress and how it affects all of us.
ONCE AGAIN in the dark of night—Republicans are trying to jam their Big Abomination of a Bill through Congress. This is what’s going on tonight after they jammed a motion to proceed through the Senate in a 51-49 vote. Obviously, I’ll be a very hell NO on this bill. ⬇️

Big news for our public lands—Republican attempts to sell off our public lands using reconciliation do NOT pass the Byrd Rule.
The Parliamentarian also finds their sneaky attempts to undermine NEPA and mandatory oil and gas leasing and permitting schemes don’t fly. This is a huge win!

They need to toss the ban on Medicaid+Obamacare coverage of gender affirming care as well as the prohibitive security fees for filing TRO's into the Byrd Bath next. Those are NOT getting enough attention.
