We defeated the effort to use our treasured public lands to pay for tax cuts for billionaires. Senator Mike Lee has withdrawn his reckless land grab from the BS Republican budget.

Update 6/24/25: The forced sale of public lands has been blocked by the Senate parliamentarian—the nonpartisan adviser who interprets Senate rules.

Back when, had to take my best friend with me 2 work for several months. An hour each way, so when we hit the hills again we'd take a little stretch & pee break at the place shown. Today I took a little stretch again there, to remember. The "less than good" times then, look pretty good now. 🦮🌲🌿🦮💕🌲🌿🦋

Trump’s tax cuts bill does indeed eliminate taxes on tips and overtime; however, it is temporary and will expire after 2028.
Do you know whose tax cuts are not temporary but will be permanent? His ultra wealthy oligarchy.
