Hey guys, Pete here. I wanted to write something about where my head has been at ahead of the playoffs. I hope you'll take the time to read this. Go @CUBS

Charlie Kirk, a name synonymous with having the courage to speak what you believe and seek/welcome conversations with those whom you disagree with.
I’m not a political person but I am a proud American citizen and today was startling, saddening, and maddening all at the same time.. I’ve realized that I’m a bit naive to how crazy it all has become but watching a man get hunted and slayed in broad daylight because of his opinions made me disgusted and devastated.
This can’t be what we actually are or become as a country.. I believe that the good people will always outnumber the evil people but damn… today was an alarming day in our country’s history.
2 kids lost a dad.. a wife lost a husband.. and societal discourse lost a voice.
RIP @charliekirk11.. I send my prayers, thoughts, and love to his family and friends.
If the game belongs to the people, then it belongs to the quiet kid who’ll one day cast their first fly or notch their first tag. Not to the folks auctioning off the view.
The number is (202) 224-3121. Tell your senators to protect our public lands.
TRCP joins hunters, anglers, and conservationists in thanking @SenatorRisch of Idaho for opposing public land sales in budget reconciliation legislation.

“Defenders of the short-sighted men who in their greed and selfishness will, if permitted, rob our country of half its charm by their reckless extermination of all useful and beautiful wild things sometimes seek to champion them by saying the ‘the game belongs to the people.’ So it does; and not merely to the people now alive, but to the unborn people.”
-Theodore Roosevelt
Teddy knew there would be despicable men like @BasedMikeLee in the future…
For what it’s worth (which is not much) here is @SenatorLankford response to a message around the provisions in the bill that involve the sale of American’s public lands. This man does not stand for Americans or Oklahomans.
@MeatEaterTV@TheTRCP@Backcountry_H_A@RMEF I believe that the United States of America is the greatest place on earth today. While there are many meaningful issues, this is one that I know, and one that I know strips America of being a uniquely incredible place. If this resonates in any way, please try to take action.
