Ryan Zinke took over the Department of the Interior in 2017 and told us that "we work for the petroleum industry." Here we go again with Doug Burgum.

Zeldin is the VERY definition of failing upward.

Is shameful that all these people care about is their wallet and the fear if retribution if they step out of line with what Trump wants

Convicted felon trump & project 2025 & indeed the entire GOP want OUR federal public lands. All 640,000,000 acres of it … Keep OUR federal public lands federal & public & OURS!!!

Cool, cool 😳

guardwolfy.bsky.social•36 days ago

Zeldin’s answers were mostly non-answers, but at least he seems fond of the Office of Water.

What fresh, dystopian Hell is this?

Definitely not fresh. I lived through James Watt.

So many foxes, so many hen houses. Time for the chickens to unionize with the rest of the farm animals and hire some good guard dogs.

And we’ve got @schumer.senate.gov over here asking for bipartisan 🙄🙄🙄
The dems are going to bipartisan us right into the collapse of our whole damn country.

reallydebl.bsky.social•36 days ago

How is asking Republican Senators to be loyal to their constituents capitulating to trump? He’s not saying we will be bipartisan for what you want — he’s saying be bipartisan with us and remember your oaths to the American people

reallydebl.bsky.social•36 days ago

From Schumer’s post
“The Senate must respond with resolve, bipartisanship, and fidelity to the working and middle class of this country.”
Where has reading comprehension gone?

vulgarmonk.bsky.social•35 days ago

Reading comprehension is fine, but, so help me, if it's YET AGAIN only the dems who give ground while the gop just digs in...there's the rub.

michaelrekas.bsky.social•35 days ago

I'm sure the Democrats helped sail them right along like they have the rest. Literally no resistance. No backbone. It's no surprise we lose over and over again. Even present day, these fools talk about bipartisan crap.

mtsmoke.bsky.social•35 days ago

Don’t overlook Michael Boren, billionaire tech broligarch nominated to be Under Secretary of Agriculture for Natural Resources & Environment. This position oversees the US Forest Service and the 193 million acres national forest & grassland system. Filer of SLAPP lawsuits.

lilhistorian.bsky.social•36 days ago

Our "interior" will soon become a wasteland if these goons have anything to do with it.

john9256.bsky.social•33 days ago

Once Burgum installs his political team, senior executive service at NPS will be pruned and scrambled. The remaining “YES” people will carry out the political agenda. Privatization of gutted parks will emerge from the chaos. Watch out for return of OMB A-76 competitive reviews.

ca-nc-galady.bsky.social•35 days ago

It is a given that #DICKtator will destroy sacred lands to drill for oil. OCP will 💯 set any slowing of climate warming attempted by the EPA to a halt! How do we peons help?

The Dems sure aren't doing diddly to fight any of this...I'm incredibly disappointed in all of them

gizzybub.bsky.social•36 days ago

Their complacency is a problem. They need to grow a backbone as the opposition party. It might not be enough votes to stop anything, but at least register the opposition. These are not times to reach across the aisle unless it's with a fist.

reallydebl.bsky.social•36 days ago

And what exactly so you expect them to do with a minority? Blame the voters who did exactly what you’re doing now. People didn’t vote— it’s the Democrats’ fault. People voted stupid despite what they were warned about— blame the Dems

catsntrees.bsky.social•35 days ago

I expect them to not vote YAY and confirm them...that's what I expect

reallydebl.bsky.social•35 days ago

Well it’s unlikely any (except Fetterman) will for nearly any of them. That’s not exactly the “fighting” you demanded

donnalew.bsky.social•36 days ago

Changed my voter registration in November after being a registered dem for over 40 years. I’m done!

As promised, these corporate shills will deregulate everything, resulting in the further destruction of wildlife and wild places, more air and water pollution, and worsening climate change. Makes me sick.

nomorescrubs.bsky.social•35 days ago

Gross, as is everything Trump. While Biden protected national parks and nature reserves, Trump thinks those are only for him to sell for personal profit.

sandraslp.bsky.social•35 days ago

Orange dome scandal strikes again. Ryan's HR2 declared all public lands worthless so they could mine, drill & lay pipelines. Here we go again!Calling it out!📌
