The requirement to eliminate 10 existing regulations for each new one (SO 3421) could result in the dismantling of crucial environmental protections built up over decades

[Mark Cassello @markcassello]

The new Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum's Day One orders represent a concerning shift away from environmental protection and climate action. These orders prioritize fossil fuel extraction and mining over wildlife and habitat conservation.

The aggressive push for Arctic National Wildlife Refuge development (SO 3422) threatens one of America's last pristine wilderness areas and the diverse wildlife that depends on it

[Mark Cassello @markcassello]

The attempt to rescind protections for large areas of the Outer Continental Shelf (SO 3420) could expose sensitive marine ecosystems to oil and gas development

[Mark Cassello @markcassello]

The order also signals an intent to revise critical habitat designations, which could reduce protected areas essential for endangered species survival

[Mark Cassello @markcassello]

SO 3418 threatens to weaken critical wildlife protections by revising the Migratory Bird Treaty Act to only cover intentional harm to birds, potentially leaving millions of birds vulnerable to industrial activities

[Mark Cassello @markcassello]

The National Energy Emergency order (SO 3417) could fast-track oil, gas, and mining projects while potentially bypassing important environmental reviews and safeguards

When people demand you follow the rules, it's usually because they made the rules. #TennesseeThree

Well-said Mitt Romney. He understands how to lose gracefully.

And everyone, the pandemic is raging. The coronavirus is mutating. The vaccine rollouts lack focus and urgency. Trump is hijacking more precious time and attention.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

The man directly responsible for the chaos of today is Donald Trump, who has made it clear that he will do anything to remain in power – including insurrection and inciting violence. Trump will go down in history as the worst and most dangerous president in history.

When activists marched in Chicago against imperialism and corporate influence over the American political system in May 2012 (Photo 1), this was the police presence on hand to meet them (Photo 2). What accounts for the difference in security for today's demonstrations in D.C.?

Former House Speaker Paul Ryan denounces GOP challenge of electoral college certification: "It is difficult to conceive of a more anti-democratic and anti-conservative act than a federal intervention to overturn the results of state-certified elections." https://t.co/o2WKb0Janp

Our job is to demilitarize police departments so they do not look like and act like oppressing armies.

Anti-lockdown protests want to normalize mass death so we get used to the idea of our fellow citizens dying, all so the rich can get richer. They’d rather hundreds of thousands of us die than put in place even temporary welfare to stave off disaster. Sick! https://t.co/ofjsUevMj3

I wish the Democratic Party would consolidate around a plan to save the post office and bail out American families as efficiently as they consolidated to stop Bernie Sanders.
