Interior Sec Doug Burgum appeared at a House hearing this morning while the Trump admin prepares radical plans to sell off public lands.
He wants to let his billionaire buddies in the oil, gas & mining industries exploit our national parks.
This is a disaster for the planet.

ICE has detained Kseniia Petrova, a Harvard scientist from Russia working on major advancements in cancer detection, since mid-February.
If deported, she could face arrest over her opposition to the war in Ukraine.
Another reminder that xenophobia hurts all of us.

The Trump administration's Department of Energy has handed management of America's strategic petroleum reserve to a "little-known company" after what it calls a "rigorous competitive process."
The contract for this company — charitably described as a "lesser-known name" — is worth $1.4 billion.
