A new bill by Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) would give land in the Dixie National Forest away to a ski resort town without oversight or public input. If passed, this bill would set a dangerous precedent of rushing back-door public land transfers without evaluating impacts—incl wildlife habitat & wildfire

At no point during the five-year span that Monty Python's Flying Circus aired on the BBC, from October 1969 to December 1974, could the greatest comedic minds of their time come up with a skit more grotesquely absurd than Trump placing a fake peace-prize medal over his own head.

Yes. Raise a ruckus about this. This is our heritage and birthright.
National monuments don’t just protect the cultural and ecological resources within their boundaries. They are also instrumental in protecting sources of the water we drink.
31 national monuments are under threat. Tell your representatives to protect our public lands and drinking water.

41 minutes of watching two shipwrecked men trying to flip a boat and signaling for surrender/help before firing on them again reminds me of the 9.5 minutes Derek Chauvin knelt on George Floyd’s neck, in that it’s an agonizingly long time to be killing helpless people who clearly posed no threat.

Maybe MTG really does want to destroy Trump's presidency. So? Why wouldn't she -- and any thinking, feeling human -- want to destroy the presidency of a greedy, selfish, racist, stupid, corrupt pedophile and rapist? I sure as hell do.
I mean....if being a child rapist destroys a presidency, then maybe, JUST maybe the guy shouldn't be president. Also, FUCK Ben Shapiro. Fucking whiny ass pansy bitch.

Trump tweeted gasoline was down to $1.99/ga in certain states. I’m guessing those states are In Saudi Arabia or something because in our country, Tulsa usually leads with lowest at the pump price (even lower than OKC). Here is Quiktrip and Walmart/Sams (usually the cheapest).
