🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.

Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.

Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.

TODAY is the showdown.

We swore an oath to the Constitution.

Our work benefits wildlife, protects communities, and provides access to people. We work hard and try to do the right thing.

Let us do our job. Treat us respectfully. We are still here.

The U.S. Department of the Interior manages and conserves 75% of federal lands in America.

We swore an oath to the constitution to protect the Nation’s natural resources and cultural heritage.

If this administration thinks they can undermine our mission in any way, they are sorely mistaken.

I could not be prouder of my Senator from Hawai’i, the honorable Brian Schatz. #imua #Lōkahi #’onipa’a
Outside of USAID headquarters, Senator Brian Schatz:

"If you want to change an agency, introduce a bill and pass a law. You cannot wave away an agency that you don't like or that you disagree with by executive order, or by literally storming into the building and taking over the servers."

BOOM!

Asking federal employees to turn on each other is madness, but it’s reminiscent of madness we’ve seen before.

Hawai‘i has the largest number of endangered species in the U.S., including some of the rarest snails on Earth, found only here. These tiny creatures play a vital role in our forests but face extinction. Let’s protect Hawai‘i’s unique biodiversity. Support conservation efforts today! #ProtectHawaii

Happy MLK Jr. Day, my friends. In 1968, Dr. King spoke the following words, which are equally true today:

"The nation is sick. Trouble is in the land; confusion all around.... But I know, somehow, that only when it is dark enough, can you see the stars."

We must find & feed the points of light.
