It's nearly 5am and Republicans just rammed through their pro-billionaire, anti-middle class budget blueprint.
In order to pass massive tax giveaways for billionaires, they're going to defund Medicaid, slash veterans benefits, & force kids to go hungry.
Make sure everyone knows it.

But now, critical emergency response positions are being cut, leaving both staff and visitors at risk.
We take pride in protecting and maintaining these parks, but we are being set up to fail. The people who love and rely on these public lands deserve better.

Then, on Feb. 6, we learned that the Trump administration had rescinded even more job offers—this time for seasonal law enforcement rangers, wildland firefighters, and EMTs. These are roles directly tied to public safety, supposedly exempt from Trump’s Jan. 20 hiring freeze.

Our parks are in chaos. We’ve seen firsthand how Trump’s hiring freeze, the rescinding of hundreds of job offers, and the layoff of 5% of NPS staff have left us overwhelmed and short-handed.

Trump is indiscriminately firing workers at the Hanford NUCLEAR cleanup site.
For Elon & DOGE who have NO CONCEPT of what these workers do: trying to run Hanford with a skeleton crew is a recipe for DISASTER that could have irreversible impacts.

Trump campaigned on lowering costs, but today’s inflation data shows he's failing to deliver on that promise.
President Trump should be paying attention to rising inflation instead of trying to gut the CFPB, which saves Americans money and protects them from Wall Street scams.
