@YDC_DFW Camp Moss is worth every penny it takes to operate it. So is Camp Sweeny.

@lippyent My first was a ‘62 Chevy pickup, 3 on the tree, no A/C, no radio, one window did not role down & the drivers door was caved in. But it was fun to go to the drive-in, in. 😉

@LePapillonBlu2 I hope the legal staff @FoxNews is prepping for the next big law suit that this loose cannon is sure to produce.

What will Grand Staircase-Escalante be without its Grand Staircase?

This September should have been its 30th anniversary. Three decades of protecting rock formations found nowhere else, sacred sites, some of the darkest skies left in the country, and a desert river that keeps elk and mule deer alive. Instead, NPCA staff drove through a landscape being dismantled.

Grand Staircase-Escalante and Bears Ears are down nearly 3 million acres combined. The Grand Staircase itself, the formation the monument is named for, is now entirely outside its boundary.

Trump did this by way of the Antiquities Act of 1906, the same law that lets presidents create national monuments in the first place. Every president who's expanded these monuments, including the one who created this one, has argued their boundaries met exactly the standard the law requires, because the sacred sites, fossil beds, and ecosystems they're protecting are themselves spread across millions of acres.

But Trump is now using a seldom-invoked, six-word clause buried in that same law to claim the opposite: that decades of scientific and Tribal judgment about what this land requires were simply wrong, and that he, alone, gets to redraw it smaller.

Trump and Burgum can spin that clause however they want. Courts have never said a president can use it to erase a monument he didn't create. NPCA's lawsuit argues he can't.

This isn't improvised. Project 2025 named this exact cut years ago, in writing, calling it a "90% downward adjustment," and criticized the first Trump term for only touching two monuments in one state. This time, they're going further.

Companies didn't wait. Some filed mining claims the very day the land opened, dozens more within weeks.

BLM also tore down Bears Ears' signs, including the seals of the five Tribes on the Bears Ears Commission, the first tribal-led monument management body in U.S. history. It was dissolved the same day, despite a written promise the Tribes would be consulted first. They weren't.

The coalition behind it is still standing. Co-chair Davina Smith-Idjesa: "You can abolish a commission, you can redraw a boundary, but you cannot erase our prayers from this land."

The claims are already staked. The signs are already down. But the fight isn't over, and you can be part of that fight. 💪 Check it out in the first reply.

@washingtonsun Sounds like someone @FoxNews should be gearing up for the next lawsuit when she starts lying.
