Surprise surprise, another poorly thought out executive order. They're just throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks. Unfortunately, we are the ones who will have to clean up the shit-smear.
@altfws.bsky.social Not clear on what is happening here(head cold making me fuzzy-headed). Will Trump counter rising lumber costs by deforesting National Forests, such as Ouiatcha (sp) NF in Arkansas?—asking for a friend with property there.
