What gives me hope is the breadth of the coalition that came together last year to stop the public lands sell-off. People across the spectrum came together and stepped up.

Trump just trying to revoke a decade-old rule that protected tens of millions of acres of national forest land –– leaving California’s precious public lands vulnerable to unrestricted logging and construction.    We’re fighting back.

The Trump Admin’s decision to undo the Roadless Rule after 25 years undermines critical protections for our public lands. I’ve fought for the Roadless Area Conservation Act to protect Oregon’s natural beauty—this Admin is taking us backward!

People across the West cherish our public lands. For 25 years, the Roadless Rule has protected millions of acres of our forests. In the face of Trump’s efforts to repeal this rule and sell our public lands, we’ll always keep fighting to protect these lands for future generations.

25 years ago today, the Roadless Rule was created to protect millions of acres against clear-cutting and roadbuilding. Now the Trump administration is trying to dismantle it. @forestservice and @USDA should listen to the hundreds of thousands calling to leave this rule in place to preserve public lands for wildlife and future generations. environmentamerica.org/artic…

America’s Roadless Rule turns 25 today. For a quarter of a century, this effective & widely supported conservation policy has served the American people by protecting 58 million acres of pristine national forestland. We must allow these forests to remain wild and free.

Chaco Canyon is sacred ground. When President Biden protected the Greater Chaco Landscape, it was a historic step that honored tribal voices and safeguarded thousands of irreplaceable cultural sites. Efforts now underway to roll back protections threaten irreplaceable history. We must continue protecting #ChacoCanyon and stand with tribal leaders calling for its preservation.

The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge deserves our protection. I’m on the Senate floor to tell you why. xitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1ypKdqmgm…

So important that we're connected to the people & places we're fighting for in Washington. I was able to join Friends of Browns Canyon and @wilderness who are working with me to make sure we're bringing additional protections for Browns Canyon. This place contributes millions to our local economy & it's critical that we protect it for generations to come.

Chaco Canyon is a living landscape — a sacred homeland still tied to the ceremonial and religious lives of Indigenous communities today. That’s why I introduced the Chaco Cultural Heritage Area Protection Act, which would permanently protect this sacred place by withdrawing federal lands around Chaco from new oil and gas leasing while safeguarding Navajo and tribal mineral rights.

🚨 Happening NOW 🚨 I’m standing with Pueblo Governors, Senator Heinrich, and Congresswoman Stansbury at the U.S. Capitol to demand that Congress and the Trump administration protect Greater Chaco Canyon from oil and gas drilling. For generations, Chaco has been a sacred place of memory, culture, and resilience. We must honor and protect it for our children and all future generations. 📍 Watch live here: facebook.com/share/v/15zbtqS…

Despite a nationwide outcry, Senate Republicans are barreling ahead with Senator Lee's deranged proposal to sell our shared public lands to the highest bidder. Let me be clear: I will not stop fighting until this proposal is dead and buried. Americans will not stand to have the hiking, climbing, and hunting spots we love put up for sale.
Here's Mike Lee's revised plan to sell public lands in the Senate reconcilliation bill

Republicans need money to help pay for their billionaire tax scam, and they want to sell off Nevada's public lands to do it. They want us to believe it's for "affordable housing," but the land they've selected is so far in the desert that no one would build housing there.

I just testified before the Rules Committee in support of my and @RepGregStanton's amendment to stop House Republicans from moving forward with @MarkAmodeiNV2's Trojan horse Utah land grab that jeopardizes Nevada’s and the Southwest's water security. Nevadans will not be fooled.

Republicans don’t want you to see what they’re doing. They’re moving in the dead of night to sneak their GOP Tax Scam through, slashing healthcare for millions of Americans, selling off our public lands & handing more tax breaks to billionaires. @RepHuffman is calling out their corrupt handout 👇👇

Huge thank you to @SenMarkey and @rephuffman who joined Indigenous leaders and advocates today to reintroduce the Arctic Refuge Wilderness Protection Act—to permanently protect the Refuge’s Coastal Plain, sacred to the Gwich’in Nation, for future generations.

Chaco Canyon is one of the world’s greatest treasures and a sacred site for Tribes and Pueblos. I’m proud to reintroduce legislation with the New Mexico Delegation to permanently protect the Greater Chaco Region for generations to come.
