Aaron Flint, the Trump-endorsed Republican running for Rep. Ryan Zinke's seat, is pitching himself as a defender of public lands.

He has a history of advocating for federal lands to be transferred to state control.

A familiar story...

This morning, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum (with help from Pete Hegseth) will convene a meeting of the so-called "God Squad" to exempt oil and gas activities in the Gulf of Mexico from the Endangered Species Act on national security grounds. In the 50 year history of the Endangered Species Act, Section 7(j) of the law has never been invoked in this manner. Burgum's unprecedented move will likely strip protections from the Rice's whale, a critically endangered animal in the Gulf. There are only around 50 whales left. Another casualty of Trump/Israel's Iran War? Watch the meeting here: https://t.co/1lPHYjliHU

with this new action, Karen Budd-Falen, the No. 3 Interior official, could seemingly wind up having...free federal labor on her private ranch operations

@PDInvestigates will be digging into whether Budd-Falen played a role in crafting this MOU
