Who is Burgum’s new sell off and anti-public land zealot? Learn more about Trump’s dangerous nominee to head BLM, Steve Pearce. If New Mexico voters rejected him, the Senate should as well. #KeepItPublic #SaveOurParks https://bit.ly/4pci1Kt
Trump’s new pick to run the BLM has a history of working to sell off public land
In Congress, Steve Pearce supported bills to privatize public land, gut the Antiquities Act, prioritize oil and gas drilling, and weaken the Endangered Species Act

Doug Burgum is about to ignore the near-universal view of Americans who have said loud and clear that they do not want the Public Lands Rule repealed. Why? His Big Oil allies and donors demand it. So he’ll open all our public lands to exploitation, the American people be damned. #SaveOurParks

Doug Burgum’s responsibilities don't include globetrotting to sell the world on Trump’s failed energy agenda. But he’s more than happy to glad-hand oil oligarchs and neglect hundreds of millions of acres of #PublicLand and #Parks under his "fail-by-design" plan.

The Bureau of Land Management oversees a quarter-billion acres of your public lands. Steve Pearce values our #PublicLand about as much as Doug Burgum values our #parks – he doesn’t. He’s uniformly unfit to lead the BLM. The Senate must reject his nomination.

America's worst Interior Secretary, Doug Burgum, is trying to get his #PublicLand selloff henchman Steve Pearce in at BLM. If the Senate confirms this anti-public lands, anti-public access Trump nominee to lead BLM, we can kiss our federal land goodbye. https://bit.ly/4pci1Kt

Say NO to Steve Pearce at BLM! Pearce has spent his life failing up, and millions of dollars from #BigOil have helped him do it. Now, he’s ready to fail our #PublicLands, delivering them on a silver platter to his dirty energy pals. #KeepItPublic

Get yourself someone who looks at you like Doug Burgum looks at Saudi oil barons. Have you ever seen someone fawning over oligarchs while assaulting our #PublicLands and #Parks? Neither have we. Burgum’s got a real corruption problem. #SaveOurParks

An Interior Secretary in hot water for international junkets on the taxpayer dime? Sounds awfully familiar. Ryan Zinke’s scandals were too much for even Donald Trump, and he barely lasted two years on the job. Tick tock, Secretary Burgum.

Aren't you still pissed about Trump destroying the East Wing of the People’s House? Gov’t still shut down, national debt skyrocketing, and Trump's top priority is lawless destruction. Burgum is cheerleading it all on as the GOP controlled Congress twiddles their thumbs.

❌ Paying park rangers, firefighters, and first responders

Some unanswered questions from Doug Burgum's junket abroad schmoozing with oil barons and oligarchs:

Were your flights commercial or private, and who paid?

Did members of your family go with you?

Why are you taking vacations while park employees, firefighters, and rangers go unpaid?

Thanks to Trump & Burgum’s fail-by-design scheme, Americans are losing public access, park entrance fees are going uncollected, & history is getting censored. Congressional Republicans refuse to conduct oversight, and now, our community parks are being affected. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

The East Wing illegally vanished overnight, without a thought for the Organic Act, history, or the American public. Under Trump and Burgum, our national parks and public lands could be next in line, with golf courses in Joshua Tree or Trump’s face on Mt. Rushmore. www.eenews.net/articles/cou...
