Here we go again.
The USDA is now proposing a reorganization that would shut down Montana’s public land offices. These jobs, research, and decision-making roles would be relocated to places like Salt Lake City and Fort Collins—far from the lands they affect.

Congress passed the “Big Beautiful Bill.” Montana’s whole delegation voted for it. It was signed into law by Pres. Trump on July 4th. So let’s catch up.

Congress just handed control of 200 million acres to oil and gas corporations. Gutting oversight, slashing royalties, and selling out Montana’s economy, communities, and outdoor heritage.
This isn’t energy policy. It’s theft from the American people.

We're sounding the alarm.
A minimum of 2 million acres of public lands in the West will be sold. Environmental protections will be gutted. Decades-old subsidies that benefit oil and gas billionaires will be reinstated.

Last night, House lawmakers removed bill language that would have sold over 500,000 acres of public land.
This is a big win. We thank Rep. Ryan Zinke for his leadership in getting this amendment removed.
