I wrote in the @startribune.com about why I and @scientistsorg.bsky.social support the Fix Our Forests Act. Check it out: www.startribune.com/opinion-wild...
Opinion: Wildfires have been raging in Minnesota. Congress actually has a fix.
The Fix Our Forests Act is a rare bright spot of bipartisan collaboration.

There is no silver bullet to solving the wildfire crisis, but perfect can't be the enemy of progress.

The Fix Our Forest Act would substantially strengthen how we incorporate science into land and fire management.

Direct File is more popular than Apple. It's more efficient than paying some guy hundreds of dollars to file your taxes for you. It's more efficient than feeding your information to a third party, spending hours hoping you entered the numbers correctly.

Its big problem? That it was good.

The measure would create a wildfire intelligence center to centralize federal management, require assessments of fireshed areas and streamline how communities reduce their wildfire risk.

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.

This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.

Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.

And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

Holy shit. Republican Harriet Hagemen got torn apart at a town hall in Wyoming last night. In a state that voted for Trump by 46 points.

She tried defending DOGE and it went as well as you’d imagine.

“Deport Elon, Deport Elon!”

Watch to the end…

we're in legit first they came for territory and a lot of people have been failing at this test they cite all the time
if you find yourself reluctant to support the guy at Columbia because you find some of the politics he espoused distasteful or even abhorrent, you should know that this is exactly the reaction that they hoped for in choosing him as a target for unlawful detention based on political speech.

I do think “they are killing Americans” is better political messaging than “I am a DOGE Democrat”
NEW: My staff has confirmed reports that Medicaid portals are down in all 50 states following last night's federal funding freeze. This is a blatant attempt to rip away health care from millions of Americans overnight and will get people killed.

Proud to have helped elect @debhaalandnm.bsky.social when she first ran for Congress, would be even more proud to support her for Governor of my home state. As gov she would be a fierce advocate for our land, water, air, and climate. ♥️🌎

The House of Representatives just passed the Fix Our Forests Act! @scientistsorg.bsky.social endorsed and contributed to this important legislation. FOFA tackles the wildfire crisis with better forest management, including increased use of beneficial fire and new tech to scale fuels reduction.

The science is clear: tackling the wildfire crisis means better forest management, including increased use of beneficial fire and new technologies to scale fuels reduction.

We're urging Congress to take bipartisan action now and pass the Fix Our Forests Act.
