BLM weakens greater sage grouse protections across the West
The BLM decision noted that in 2015 under the Obama administration the agency didn’t go far enough in allowing development on some public lands.

@trenni.bsky.social 🚨 Sunday I was praising Diggs and tonight NBC News is reporting he could possibly be suspended for playoff game action. WTF!

And what if USFWS flushes the public comments down the toilet and goes ahead with closing refuges and hatcheries and selling them off to private development interests? I don't trust this administration to respect the process.

@peggyflanagan.bsky.social As you watch this, take note of all the BigAg corporate special interests who are funding Rep. Craig's campaign.
John Deere got this video taken off our YouTube for two weeks. It took our lawyers reaching out to YouTube to get it back up.
The video lays out how a handful of corporations took control of the agriculture industry, bankrupting farmers and screwing us all over.

The BigAg companies in this video are some of the same ones who have bought & paid for @repangiecraig.bsky.social and are funding her US Senate race.
I recommend you watch this video.

@andybeshearky.bsky.social As you look to 2028, how about a New Year's resolution to dump Lucas Johnson. He may have been an asset to you in KY, but he's a huge liability to you nationally as you eye a White House bid.

@trenni.bsky.social Wow, what about Diggs! All that pre-season speculation on how he would perform and he's at 970 yards with a chance to go over 1,000 next week at home!

Such a waste of time and human capital. Go into Holyoke, Springfield and other Hampden Co. cities and register folks to vote who have long stopped voting in Dem primaries. Or get on the phone a dial for dollars before the end of the fundraising quarter on Wednesday.
This is why Belchertown rules! A snowstorm cannot stop people from coming out and standing up for what is right. Much love to everyone who stood in the cold to wave, smile, and show up for democracy. Happy New Year y'all, 2026 we're coming in hot!

Another huge weakness with this piece www.politico.com/news/2025/12... is that the authors equate rural with ag, when today, farmers are less than 1% of the population.

@sambbenson.bsky.social I wish just once reporters would talk w/local candidates who run in tough districts to get a flavor for what's going on at ground level. Just can't take seriously anything from folks like Libby Schneider (did nothing as DNC Rural Advisor) & Anthony Flaccavento (2-time loser)

This is the Chesterfield Gorge on the East Branch of the Westfield River, the first river in Massachusetts to be designated Wild & Scenic in 1993 by the Interior Dept. The stone bridge abutment dates from 1741 on the Old Post Road

@jeromiewhalen.bsky.social McGovern has a credibility problem here.
Jim, I love you man, but you're silent when it comes to calling out Rep. Richard Neal (D-MassMutual) for the fact that he hasn't held a town hall since 9/15/17 in Pittsfield. His constituents can't get face time yet corporate special interests who fork over campaign $ get all the access they want.
