Nothing in life is free. @bmeredith001 telling it how it is & what needs to change. Same thing for photos: don’t ask for freebies. Pay $ for photos you want so that we can continue to capture moments for you, your friends/family/team to enjoy forever, am I right?@annalee__marie

I’d like to know where this national outrage was a few years ago when it happened here in the state of Iowa. What an absolute joke.

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

BREAKING: The Senate just passed the legislation allowing the devastation of the Boundary Waters.

The motion passed 50-49, and now goes to Donald Trump’s desk.

The way Republicans passed this bill that prevents future administrations from issuing protections for Superior National Forest, so this pristine land will be exploited in perpetuity unless Congress intervenes to reverse this decision.

The state of Minnesota can still block the Chilean mining corporation from operating in Superior National Forest and protect the Boundary Waters from pollution.

[Matt Little @LittleCongress]

The U.S. Senate just voted to pollute one of Minnesota’s most beloved places: the Boundary Waters.
Let’s be clear why: more money for billionaires.

Twin Metals and its parent companies are mega-corporations owned by a billionaire family based in Chile. They have a long track record of pollution and environmental devastation, and despite their assurances that this mining is “safe,” decades of research show otherwise.

Twin Metals would bring fewer than 750 jobs to the region, with most of its operations being autonomous and remote, but it risks thousands of jobs in tourism and hospitality. The BWCA is the most visited wilderness in America, attracting almost 150,000 tourists and over $80 million in annual spending to the region.

This won’t bring long-term prosperity. It will cost us millions in healthcare and environmental cleanup.

Mining can be done right, only in the right places. This is the wrong type of mine, in the wrong place.

All watersheds are connected. What happens in one place harms another, and pollution near the BWCA will migrate into the BWCA and the surrounding watershed.

Republicans are in the pockets of big corporations that want to threaten our Minnesota heritage and one of the most pristine environments in the nation.
We must take back the U.S. House and overturn this reckless policy.

•The U.S. Senate may hold a floor vote TODAY which would overturn a 20-year moratorium on sulfide-ore copper mining on 225,000 acres of Superior National Forest land in the watershed of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area (BWCA) Wilderness in northern Minnesota. The Boundary Waters is the most visited Wilderness in the United States. 

🛶 Enjoying the Minnesotan/Canadian wilderness by canoe or other lesser watercraft is one of our nations greatest available pastimes, and one I have personally enjoyed my entire life. We must protect these public lands from the rapacious capitalists threatening to turn them into a poisoned wasteland.

•This vote in Congress would open the door to copper mining at the headwaters of this entire ecosystem. This kind of mining produces toxic pollution, including acid runoff and heavy metals, that can contaminate nearby waters.

•The Boundary Waters supports a major outdoor economy that sustains thousands of jobs and generates over a billion dollars a year - built on clean water and intact public lands. But this vote would clear the way for toxic mining that puts all of that at risk. It would also set a dangerous precedent, making it easier to roll back protections for public lands across the country, including wilderness areas, national monuments, and national parks. 

•This is a defining moment. If you care about clean water, public lands, and protecting places we can’t replace, now is the time to speak up.
•Protect the Boundary Waters, and vote NO on House Joint Resolution 140. Let’s save this treasured place for all of us—forever. https://t.co/JhNAR6Za2O

WRESTLING TRANSFER NEWS: A little Wednesday movement to keep an eye on.

A source tells me Anthony Echemendia is expected to enter the portal (not in yet).

Ech has been a key member of the lineup. He's a two-time All American. This season he finished a Big 12 runner-up and had a sixth place finish at the NCAA Championships after medically forfeiting.

There’s been buzz about a jump to 149 which I think only would've complicated the logjam that continues to exist in those middle weights. (Frost brothers, Paniro Johnson)

Interesting situation as his name is not one I expected. I don’t have additional information right now, but I’ll share more as I learn it.

Liftoff.

The Artemis II mission launched from @NASAKennedy at 6:35pm ET (2235 UTC), propelling four astronauts on a journey around the Moon.

Artemis II will pave the way for future Moon landings, as well as the next giant leap — astronauts on Mars.
