Our national parks generated $56 billion in visitor spending and supported 415,000 jobs in 2023.
The entire National Park Service budget was just $3.6 billion.
That’s some return on investment — so why is Donald Trump taking an axe to our parks?

13% support for cutting research funding to universities. 24% among Republicans. Polling on this continues to be catastrophic for the Rs, suggests Dems should be learning far harder into standing up for science and our universities. 1/

Millions of Catholics respect if not admire the Bishop of Rome—either the person, or the office, or both. Many non-Catholics as well. They should all be appalled at this disrespectful impostor. Where is the outrage?

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

![A caricature of Andrew Jackson as a despotic monarch, probably issued during the Fall of 1833 in response to the President's September order to remove federal deposits from the Bank of the United States. The print is dated a year earlier by Weitenkampf and related to Jackson's controversial veto of Congress's bill to recharter the Bank in July 1832. However, the charge, implicit in the print, of Jackson's exceeding the President's constitutional power, however, was most widely advanced in connection not with the veto but with the 1833 removal order, on which the President was strongly criticized for acting without congressional approval. Jackson, in regal costume, stands before a throne in a frontal pose reminiscent of a playing-card king. He holds a "veto" in his left hand and a scepter in his right. The Federal Constitution and the arms of Pennsylvania (the United States Bank was located in Philadelphia) lie in tatters under his feet. A book "Judiciary of the U[nited] States" lies nearby. Around the border of the print are the words "Of Veto Memory", "Born to Command" and "Had I Been Consulted."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:kok4aqdr3qnsj6ktfkq76kqz/bafkreidzcyxl52qfspmdpu4gxrgbbmb2t7cwopl5bznxyui7u4ko5qopqa@jpeg)

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long.
They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

@michaelsteele.bsky.social way to go, Mr Steele, in taking Joe Scarborough to task this morning. He and Mika have lost all credibility. He was out of control, defensive, and just plain rude in trying to silence you and the other guest. They are bought and owned. Thank you!

I’ve watched their show every day since 2016 when Matt and Savanah on today show gave trump free air time. I will now make the same break with Mika and Joe. Their rationalization is frightening. Shame on them. Hypocrites. Would they have had coffee and cake with Adolph? #boycottMorningJoe
