You are the co-owner of 45 million acres.

For the past 25 years, they have been protected under the #RoadlessRule (a conservation policy over 1.6 million Americans submitted comments supporting).

Now, you're about to lose them all.

#ReleaseTheEpsteinTrumpFiles

I haven’t seen any town halls being held by my Republican representative, but he’s like talking to a wall.

Most of them have somehow forgotten that they’re there to serve the people. 😒😠

Adam Kinzinger @adamkinzinger.substack.com · 1h

Hey the house of reps has had all of Oct and most of September off because Speaker Johnson is desperate to not release the Epstein files.

Have they been filling the time with town halls? I mean they have a full month off… maybe a couple town halls each right?

This image is by my niece, who was visiting Southern California in 2022.

The image shows a close-up view of a garden bed filled with a variety of flowers. The most prominent flowers are deep purple pansies with yellow centers. Interspersed among the pansies are clusters of smaller, bright yellow yarrow flowers. The flowers are densely planted, creating a vibrant and colorful display. The garden bed has a wooden border visible in the lower left corner, and the background consists of green foliage.

Camera: iPhone XR.

Obviously this is why he lied about his intentions. He said he wasn't going to tear down any part of the White House during construction. And why the Treasury Department has told employees to stop sending pictures of the demolition out to the public.

If you take $230 million out of the treasury to pay yourself for being president, I believe you should be executed for high crimes.

Seriously these congressional politicians get away with way too much. Shutting down the government, not confirming properly elected people, and saying I know nothing about it all the damn time. Any person at a normal company behaving this way would be fired. Seriously. 😒
