On July 1, I flew above every mine, pit, dump, tailings basin and town on the Iron Range. A lifelong Ranger, I’d seen it all before. But not like this. What I saw there inspired my favorite column in a long time, linked later in this thread. Here are some highlights. 1/10

@BasedMikeLee @TheCougChron *whispers* Mike Lee is also the leading advocate for erasing Bears Ears and Grand Staircase National Monuments in Utah. He hates protected places and would love to close off access to open those up for sell off.

[Andy French @AndyNFrench]

If Mike Lee had a magic button that would disappear ALL public lands in the US (parks, monuments, forests, refuges, etc.) he would 100% hit it.

He is not "listening" in good faith and he wouldn't have made a single change if he wasn't called out. Time to take a hike, Mike.

[Mike Lee @SenMikeLee]

I’m still listening.

I’m working closely with the Trump administration to ensure that any federal land sales serve the American people—not foreign governments, not the Chinese Communist Party, and not massive corporations looking to pad their portfolios.

This land must go to American families. Period.

[Andy French @AndyNFrench]

Incredible to watch @SenMikeLee openly admit that he's been gaslighting everyone for the past two weeks on points 1 & 2. He should just take the L but I guess he's "just getting started"?

Have always hated @BasedMikeLee. Hate him more now..

[Mike Lee @SenMikeLee]

Housing prices are crushing families and keeping young Americans from living where they grew up. We need to change that.

Thanks to YOU—the AMERICAN PEOPLE—here’s what I plan to do:

1. REMOVE ALL Forest Service land. We are NOT selling off our forests.

2. SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE the amount of BLM land in the bill. Only land WITHIN 5 MILES of population centers is eligible.

3. Establish FREEDOM ZONES to ensure these lands benefit AMERICAN FAMILIES.

4. PROTECT our farmers, ranchers, and recreational users. They come first.

Yes, the Byrd Rule limits what can go in the reconciliation bill, but I’m doing everything I can to support President Trump and move this forward.

Stay tuned. We’re just getting started.

[Andy French @AndyNFrench]

@BasedMikeLee People are telling you why. You're not listening is the problem. This is a terrible idea with worse motives. Maybe don't ram this through a massive budget bill with no public input and no process.

[Aesthetica @Anc_Aesthetics]

Bill Gates is the largest private farmland owner in the United States.

- One of Mike Lee’s biggest donors is Microsoft.

Harlan Crow is a billionaire real estate developer.

- Harlan Crow is one of Mike Lee’s biggest donors

Blackstone Group is a private equity firm that invests in real estate.

Blackstone is one of Mike Lee’s biggest donors

Mike Lee wants to sign into law the biggest sale of federal land in modern history for peanuts on the dollar.

Probably nothing.

[Andy French @AndyNFrench]

@glennbeck If it is "remote" and "hard to access" how is this at all a solution to affordable housing? Mike Lee has been trying to shred land protections his entire career. This would just be the start.

[Andy French @AndyNFrench]

@SenMikeLee ✅ @BasedMikeLee is one of the least trusted politicians in DC, which is saying something
✅ You’ve been fighting against protected public lands and trying to sell out our shared public lands your entire career

$5.5 trillion has been erased from the stock market in the last 30 days:

[Brian Schatz @brianschatz]

The stock market is down but at least everything is more expensive and services are getting shittier. On the other hand we have more measles. To be fair, they are finally delivering the reductions in FAA and National Parks staff that people have been demanding.

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns. 

100% of his salary is paid by WA state. 

Elon fired him. Share his story.

[Alec MacGillis @AlecMacGillis]

"At California’s Yosemite National Park, the Trump administration fired the only locksmith on staff on Friday. He was the sole employee with the keys and the institutional knowledge needed to rescue visitors from locked restrooms." And at other parks:

If this much deception and coordination was possible, might have just been easier to not let Trump win in 2016? But idk I guess these grand conspiracies are a bit more entertaining?

These people are f*ing nuts.

[Matt Wallace @MattWallace888]

Don’t worry guys, weather modification isn’t real! It’s just a coincidence that Hurricane Helene is one of the most devastating “inland damage storms” in history and that hundreds of pro-Trump counties are being massively impacted during the most important election of our lifetimes.

Obviously the elites would never be evil enough to create hurricanes designed to interfere with “democracy”… Pay no attention to the storms currently brewing in the Atlantic either! You can ask any mainstream scientist and they will tell you that it isn’t even possible to create those or target them at certain areas.

Just stay silent. No need to vote or expose anything. You wouldn't want to be called a conspiracy theorist right? Couldn’t have that. So please ignore your own eyes and don’t share this post or investigate further.

@CodyBrownBets Caesar’s telling me that this combo can’t be combined?! Wth!

[Kevin McCarthy @SpeakerMcCarthy]

As the son of a firefighter from Bakersfield, my story is the story of America. For me, every moment came with a great deal of devotion and responsibility.

Serving you in Congress and as the 55th Speaker of the House has been my greatest honor.
