My experience entirely. I am a Coloradan and our public lands are being trashed due to the DOGE staff cuts at our National Parks and National Forests. Neither bathrooms nor dumpsters are being attended to.

@ a "Die-In" this a.m., organized by Indivisible in Denver, to protest massive cuts to Medicaid, to the Affordable Care Act and to nursing care. If you haven't yet done so, CALL YOUR REPS. Your rep will vote on the Big Ugly Bill TODAY. Call 202-221-3141 and tell them to VOTE NO to this cruel bill!

This is so typical of the rw media visual communications model. They use coloring book level graphics as they don't believe their audiences can follow a policy discussion. They treat their listeners/viewers like little children.

It is an idea planted and we will have to continue to watch the land-grabbers like hawks.
Three dozen of us protested today in CO @ 11,500 ft.
Thanks for all you do, Rep. Stansbury. NM is SMART to have you as a rep.

It is a foot in the door (an idea planted) and we will have to watch this like hawks.
I protested today with a few dozen others in CO @ 11,500 ft.

Protest at 11,500 ft. in CO today, where the Continental Divide meets the Colorado Trail.
Let's BE SURE that provision will not be back.
(While there, conversed with a constituent of yours, she says she has been frustrated your office has not responded to her emails. So maybe talk to staff?)

Colorado's protected public lands BELONG TO ALL THE PEOPLE of the U.S. and are available for their recreation and enjoyment. The Big Bad Bill being rammed through by the GOP would SELL OFF our protected lands to the highest bidders (billionaires) for the purpose of funding their tax cuts. 1/2

You know what I would say, Kristi... you are following a playbook.

This (apparently) was posted on the China gov't account @ X. Regardless, savvy diplomats (not to mention trade negotiators) would understand they are dealing with a civilization that is 5,000 years old.
