New language in Trump's "big beautiful bill" could put beloved public lands up for sale, incl. AZ's Sabino Canyon & Mt Lemmon. Supposedly it's to address housing shortages - but could end up as luxury vacation homes blocking public access.

This administration wants to sell Sabino Canyon & Madera Canyon to developers. Two of the most visited public parks in the Tucson valley.
I can't forcefully express my disgust enough.
These parks are vital not just to the wildlife but the mental well-being of a million people.

What happens when NIH is under threat?
📉 Fewer clinical trials.
💔 No new treatments for cancer, rare diseases.
And long-term? We surrender our global leadership in biomedical research.
NIHers risked everything to speak out, b/c the stakes are life and death.
Stand with them here⬇️

The President’s decision to bomb Iran was grossly unconstitutional, since only Congress has the power to declare war. The President’s action will without a doubt lead to many American, Israeli and Iranian deaths and must be condemned in the strongest possible terms.
