Felt good to join the many patriots on the streets of my town today. Even saw one yahoo get arrested for swerving at us and driving recklessly. FAFO 😂 Our voices will be heard, and we are growing in numbers and strength.

Q: Do you think it would've been fitting to lower the flags to half staff when Melissa Hortman, the Minnesota House Speaker, was gunned down by an assassin?

🚨 Advocacy Alert: The Senate ENR Committee has tucked a land sell-off into the FY26 budget bill—up to 3 million acres of public lands gone.
These wild places are managed by BLM & USFS—but if we let this happen, what’s next? Refuges?

Tell the Senate: Don’t Sell Off America’s Public Lands
The Senate wants to force the sale of up to 3 million acres of public land. Tell your Senators: protect our conservation legacy—keep public lands in public hands.

A great thread that may help explain why the three liberals didn't join with Gorsuch and Thomas.
This case was NOT litigated by the tribe itself, but by the Becket Fund—a conservative group that regularly argues for Christian supremacy and clearly saw this dispute as a vehicle for its broader aims.

The Supreme Court denied cert today in a complicated and controversial case involving federal Indian law, Apache Stronghold. This case, brought by a nonprofit and not a Native nation, focused closely on the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (rights) over the treaty violations (power).

@altnps.bsky.social Were about to hit the road for our annual NPS journey, tariffs be damned. How do we even come close to expressing our gratitude to NPS rangers & staff? They’ve endured so much!

Sen. Jim Banks told a laid off U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) employee who approached him that they “probably deserved it” and they “seem like a clown.”
