Buried in the fine print of a sweeping federal package dubbed the “One Big Beautiful Bill” was a quiet land grab. That language is now gone from the bill — scrapped because of bipartisan pressure from those of us who still believe in fighting for what’s right.

Anti-wolf members of Congress are at it again—trying to exterminate even more wolves across the lower 48 states by ending federal wolf protections and turning wolf "management" (AKA "killing") over to states.

While Fox News frames this as a "liberal" cause. Maybe it's just regarding the Constitution as law.

Which is better for US, an authoritarian themed birthday party for our leader OR National Parks?
Trump fired over 1,000 National Park staff in February, and most still haven’t been reinstated. The $45 million he’s wasting on a military parade for his birthday could have paid their salaries for over a year.

Most of the National Parks are out west, and most of those have vast areas of public lands surrounding them. Given the popularity of our national parks we propose expanding our parks to meet the needs of the people they're intended to benefit; you and I.

So as Justice Sotomayor says, “The implication of the Government’s position is that not only noncitizens but also US citizens could be taken off the streets, forced onto planes, and confined to foreign prisons with no opportunity for redress if judicial review is denied unlawfully before removal"

The Trump admin is fast-tracking a uranium mine in Utah by slashing the permitting process to 14 days, bypassing environmental review and cutting the public out entirely. Projects like this are supposed to go through NEPA, the law that requires environmental impact assessments and public comment.
