A Mount St. Helens ranger. A plant scientist on the rolling hills of The Palouse. An entire staff of backup crews meant to support front line firefighters during a raging wildfire. Across the PNW, the Trump administration gutted most of them. Here is their story: www.spokesman.com/stories/2025...

The Lesser Prairie-Chicken is the focus of new bills in the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate, with some legislators seeking to permanently remove the species from the Endangered Species Act (ESA). 🪶 If successful, this effort will be catastrophic for this icon of the American West. 🧵

If you know and love RANGE you know part of our charm is our scrappiness. In that spirit, we are seeking donations of a few small to normal sized desks for our newsroom (right now we are cursed with small office, big desk, bad layout) and it's making it hard to work here! DM us if you can help :)

Imagine saying this about an agency that has helped millions of people around the world avoid malaria, obtain clean water, and gain access to food & health care. Especially when you’re the world’s richest man & your net worth is something like 20 times this agency’s annual budget. What a foul soul.

Where are the defenders of the US as Elon and nameless private agents infiltrate US agencies, commandeer US servers, steal US data, seize US money, march US officials from US buildings? Who sallies forth from the FBI? The CIA? Congress? DoD? The media? This is a coup—and America appears defenseless.

“The Trump administration has frozen the federally funded ‘Road to Zero’ program, a stunning elimination of a small trove of Biden-era grants aimed at improving safety for pedestrians and cyclists in red states and blue.” usa.streetsblog.org/2025/01/31/i...

My Salmon-Safe work has been impacted this week due to the executive order to pause federal grants through agencies such as the EPA and others. it’s terrible, but we’ll survive. For some people dependent upon these grants however, they might not. Fascism kills. link.propublica.org/click/384265...

It would be fantastic if major federal institutions would acknowledge that the executive branch cannot legally unilaterally cancel or redistribute congressionally appropriated funding on ideological grounds and thus they have no legal obligation to comply with such directives

Happy year of the snake! I would argue that the snakes of the United States are just as varied and pretty as our birds. A few years ago I made a poster to try and prove it. Drawing this took many months and a lot of research. You can get it here: topatoco.com/collections/...

Thom Tillis is a scumbag. He personally promised Pete Hegseth's sister-in-law that her sworn statement would sway his vote. He ended up being the deciding YES vote, anyway. Tillis up for re-election next year in North Carolina, and he needs to be defeated. #NCSen www.rawstory.com/trump-267100...

Trump's treasury nominee Scott Bessent, who is worth ~$500 million, said extending Trump's tax cuts for the rich is "the most important economic issue of the day." When asked if we should raise the federal minimum wage above the current paltry $7.25 an hour, he said, "No, sir."
