The federal government just banned bison from public land in Montana.
Not cattle.
Bison.
Interior Secretary Burgum revoked grazing permits for 950 bison
on 63,000 acres of federal land in northeastern Montana.
The reason?
Bison raised for conservation don't count as livestock
under a 1934 law.
Bison raised for meat and milk? Fine.
Bison raised to restore a native species to its native land? Get out.
Meanwhile, cattle ranchers across the West keep grazing on your land.
For $1.69 a month.
One cow. One calf. Thirty days. $1.69.
On land that belongs to every American.
The Cheyenne River Sioux. The Coalition of Large Tribes —
50+ Native nations. Defenders of Wildlife.
They all filed formal protests.
They called it exactly what it is.
"DEI for cows."
The bison have until September 30 to be gone.
Who decided cattle belong on public land more than bison do?

California voted 63 percent to ban this. Massachusetts voted 78 percent. The industry sued and lost at the Supreme Court.
So they slipped a provision into the House farm bill to void both votes and block every future state from trying. One lobbying campaign undoing two supermajority referendums.
The largest beneficiary is Smithfield - owned by a Chinese company. Congress is being asked to override American voters to protect a Chinese corporation's factory farming practices.
84 percent of Americans called this unacceptable in polling. The Senate gets to decide if that number means anything.
Trump wants to hand out 250 pardons this summer to celebrate America’s 250th birthday.
And guess who’s lining up for a pardon? Ghislaine Maxwell, convicted of helping sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein recruit and groom underage girls. Sam Bankman-Fried, the crypto fraudster convicted of one of the biggest financial frauds in American history, who wiped out the life savings of thousands of ordinary people. Jho Low, accused of stealing $4.5 billion from his own country’s government.
Welcome to the latest episode of the Pardon Papers.
A presidential pardon is one of the most serious decisions a president can make. It exists for when the justice system genuinely gets something wrong, not to be handed out by the hundreds.
The President of the United States is not a king. What Trump is doing is an abuse of power, plain and simple. I’m fighting for a constitutional amendment to put limits on it, because no president should be able to do this. Not now. Not ever.
Republicans in North Carolina just proposed a bill that says if a woman is caught with an IUD or attempts to get an abortion then men are allowed to use DEADLY FORCE to try and stop her. They are proposing a bill that will allow men to kill women for using birth control. It’s House Bill 1232. Keith Kidwell is the Republican who proposed the bill. He claims it counts as self defense to use deadly force to stop abortion. This is a man who claims to be pro life. Feel free to give his office a call and let him know how you feel about his opinion.
And for anyone who says “obviously this will never get passed” that’s not the point. The point is it’s fucking insanity that a government official would even try to make a law like this. It’s insanity that there are men out there who are trying to make it legal to kill women for making decisions for their own bodies. This is real and it’s happening right now in front of our eyes.
The Upper Pecos River is
New Mexico's only native river.
It supplies clean water to farming
communities for hundreds of miles.
It holds a wildflower that exists
nowhere else on Earth.
The last mine here killed 90,000 trout.
The cleanup from 1939 still isn't finished.
The federal government just
opened it to mining again.
Nobody asked for this.
No public meetings. No comment period.
Just a quiet announcement on April 6th.
The Biden-era rule had built a
20-year mining ban on 165,000 acres.
The administration killed it. Effective May 6, 2026.
The community was unanimous.
Tribes. Elected officials. Outdoor businesses.
All said protect it.
Washington said no.
If a mine contaminated your water source once — killed 90,000 fish, left groundwater that still exceeds safety standards 87 years later — would you open it back up for a foreign mining company?

Trump reportedly executed 3,700 stock trades in just the FIRST THREE MONTHS of 2025.
According to reporting, that was more trading volume and money than all 535 members of Congress combined did over an entire year.
Read that again.
The president of the United States was allegedly trading at a scale bigger than Congress itself while simultaneously controlling:
- tariffs
- defense contracts
- sanctions
- energy policy
- AI policy
- market-moving announcements
So how did Ken Paxton hide a $7.5 million multi-state real estate empire while earning a $153K government salary?
If you are Texas AG Ken Paxton, you use an opaque trust structure and exploit legal loopholes to keep the public completely in the dark.
To shield his massive wealth from public scrutiny, Paxton funneled his millions into a blind trust. Legally, public officials aren't supposed to know what's in these trusts to avoid conflicts of interest. However, leaked text messages blew up his cover, revealing Paxton was in close contact with his trustee, manually directing stock trades and property management behind the scenes. That's legally, no longer a blind trust now, is it?
Using this opaque corporate shield, Paxton quietly bought up high-end, income-generating properties across the country:
A $1.6M luxury vacation cabin in Oklahoma.
An $800K resort condo in Utah.
Prime real estate and townhomes in Florida and Hawaii.
For years, Paxton filed annual financial disclosures with Texas regulators claiming he only owned his single primary home in Collin County. He used abstract trust loopholes to hide the rest.
He only came clean and amended his filings to reveal eight previously hidden out-of-state properties after a strict Texas Ethics Commission rule change forced his hand.
When a politician uses complex financial structures to keep millions in assets secret from the voters, it isn't a loophole—it's a MASSIVE red flag.
The world's largest operating steam locomotive is making its way through Nebraska this week in celebration of America’s 250th birthday. Here's where it's stopping in the state:
I don’t think we have a functioning CDC anymore—RFK Jr’s CDC is now asking volunteers to goto airports to screen passengers for Ebola… to stand in line at airports to look for sick people… unpaid.
Erin Brockovich's latest project is a website to report and track data center construction across the country:
"The race to build AI infrastructures is unfolding town by town across America... This map captures the real-world footprint of that race — revealing patterns of growth, conflict and uncertainty."
Otoe County officials approved a moratorium on data centers. Other Nebraska counties are considering similar moves amid growing concerns about the industry’s impacts.

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that the DHS Inspector General just opened an audit into a $38 billion warehouse-to-detention scheme that Kristi Noem and her top adviser Corey Lewandowski rammed through.
ICE bought 11 vacant warehouses in a matter of months, paying 11 to 13 percent above market value.
The properties weren’t even zoned for detention. No working plumbing for thousands of detainees. But Noem and Lewandowski pressured ICE to open them by year’s end anyway.
The result? At least $1 billion already spent on nine facilities. Nearly 50 contractors paid $1.7 billion since Trump took office.
Companies with zero immigration detention experience suddenly winning massive federal contracts.
One firm that didn’t even exist until June 2024 got a $6 million DHS contract this January.
Noem is gone.
Lewandowski is gone.
But the bill is still landing on the taxpayer, and the IG investigation is just getting started.
Accountability cannot end when the perpetrators walk out the door.
Every contract needs scrutiny.
Every dollar needs to be traced.
Every official who steered money to inexperienced contractors needs to answer under oath.

Stop pretending this is about cracking down on fraud when Trump literally let people who stole hundreds of millions in Medicare and Medicaid money walk free. One guy stole $1.3 billion and served 14 months of a 20-year sentence. When a reporter asked the DOJ about it, they refused to answer.
That’s the hypocrisy people are angry about. Republicans want to talk tough on fraud while protecting the biggest fraudsters when they’re politically connected. If fraud is wrong, then it should be wrong for everyone.
The following people are applying for money from Trump’s $1.8 billion taxpayer slush fund:
—Enrique Tarrio, former Proud Boys leader convicted of leading seditious conspiracy for organizing the January 6th attack

—Michael Caputo, former spokesperson for the Department of Health and Human Services during Trump’s first term
—Meshawn Maddock, former Michigan GOP co-chair and Trump fake elector
—Clifford Frost, Trump fake elector charged with 8 felonies for submitting false documents
—Dominic Box, sentenced to seven years in prison for assaulting law enforcement on J6
—Mike Lindell, MyPillow CEO found liable for defaming a former Dominion employee
—One America News, pro-Trump channel that promoted false 2020 election claims
