Here’s some good news: if you’re a U.S. citizen, you own part of 640 million acres of public land.
Here’s the bad news: Republicans are trying to sell it off.
Ryan Busse sounds the alarm.

You’ve Inherited Millions of Acres. Republicans Are Stealing It From You.
This land may not be your land for much longer

Let’s look at the facts:
DHS claimed there were “about 1,000 rioters,” but Reuters couldn’t independently verify that number. Meanwhile, flash-bangs used against peaceful protesters ignited one of the fires captured in widely shared photos.

What would Donald Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill mean for Americans?
50,000 more deaths each year because of huge health care cuts and higher drug prices. All to pay for tax giveaways for billionaires and billionaire corporations.
We’re fighting back to stop it.

On this #420day, we celebrate the 52nd anniversary of performers “Gail & Dale” singing the hit, “One Toke Over the Line,” on Lawrence Welk.
Neither had an idea the song was about pot, and Welk thought the song was a “modern spiritual.”

DOGE was never about savings. It was always about surveillance.
Over the weekend, we released new details—and now whistleblowers are coming forward too. What’s becoming clearer by the day: DOGE isn’t a government efficiency program. It’s a data weapon aimed at the American people.

I just checked in at the Atlanta airport and the kiosk wanted me to show a "passport or permanent residence card."
The airline rep who was helping me said "I don't know why it's doing this it's been doing it all morning."
