I told you they were coming for the Roadless Rule.
Yesterday, Republicans made their move — and they hid it inside a wildfire bill.
Here's what makes this so enraging:
59 million acres of America's wildest national forests are now on the table.
The 2001 Roadless Rule has protected nearly 60 million acres across 39 states for 25 years. No logging. No road construction. No drilling. No mining.
Built after 1.6 million Americans showed up — at 430 public hearings nationwide — to demand it.
What lives here: bald eagles, elk, black bears, Cerulean warblers, marbled murrelets. Species that need large, intact, unfragmented habitat to survive. For many of them, roadless forests aren't just home — they're the last places left.
What the amendment does: guts the rule. Opens the backcountry to logging and road construction under the cover of "fire prevention."
The administration is pursuing repeal through the executive branch at the same time. And unlike the original rule — they aren't holding a single public hearing.
1.6 million people showed up to protect these forests.
The administration isn't asking anyone this time.
What do you call a wildfire bill that opens forests instead of protecting them?

And everyone will eventually get sick.

Medical debt is the leading cause of personal bankruptcy in the United States.
Not gambling. Not reckless spending. Not the moral failures that the rhetoric of personal responsibility loves to invoke.
Getting sick.
The leading cause of financial ruin in the wealthiest country in human history is the biological inevitability of the human body breaking down.
This happens nowhere else in the developed world.
In no other wealthy nation does a person survive cancer and then spend a decade paying for the survival.
In no other wealthy nation does a grandmother choose between insulin and rent.
In no other wealthy nation is the question "can I afford to call an ambulance" a question a person has to genuinely ask.
This is not an accident of policy.
This is the policy.
The extraction is the point.
The debt is the product.
The sick person is the raw material.

Facts.
ALT Someone: There's more than two genders. Doctors: Yeah. Psychologists: Basically. Scientists: Yup. Gender is a spectrum. Here's several well-designed studies using the latest in genetics and neuroscience. Sexologists: Duh! Anthropologists: I can name like fifteen societies with more than two genders right now. Historians: Yes, we see that in written records as far-back as 4000 years. Rabbis: The Talmud describes eight genders. Religious Conservatives: NO! Only two! Penis and vagina! Or civilization will collapse!

BREAKING: We're suing the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service over their plan to give away 715 acres of a public wildlife refuge to billionaire corporation Space X.
Americans shouldn't be sacrificing their public lands to subsidize a company owned by the richest man in the world.

BREAKING: DHS just waived all environmental laws to blast border barriers and roads through Big Bend National Park.
This marks the first time in American history the feds have gutted dozens of laws to push industrial-level construction through a national park.

Yet another complete failure of Texas leadership to let this happen. While Ken Paxton is suing toothpaste companies, he SHOULD be suing the federal government to immediately stop this destruction of Big Bend.
I could post all day every day about the ways Republicans have failed Texas, and I STILL wouldn’t get around to everything.
They have destroyed our state.

He's right about one thing. The increased taxes won't go to help the teacher in Queens, **unless we make those collected taxes go to do exactly that. So there's that.
Jeff Bezos: "If people want me to pay more billions, then let's have that debate, but don't pretend that that's gonna solve the problem. You could double the taxes I pay, and it's not gonna help that teacher in Queens.... Airbnb isn't causing high rents. What's really causing high rent is government intervention."
