The US Government choosing not to maintain their trust responsibilities to Natives not on reservations for the sake of political theater is reprehensible, to say the least.

As always, it was a great privilege to hear and see you speak.
Thank you for all that you do, and we look forward to working together more in the future.
🧵Today, I addressed the National Congress of American Indians’ mid-year conference. I know how much it means to have @Interior and @POTUS committed to Tribal nations and Indigenous people.
Cheney to fellow Republicans who continue to "defend the indefensible" about Trump and Jan 6:
"there will come a day when Donald Trump is gone.
"but your dishonor will remain."
When women are supported and heard—whether in the courtroom, workplace, government halls, or at the ballot box—democracy is more complete.
Without a doubt, gender equality strengthens democracy.
Unfortunately, I tested positive for COVID-19 today. I feel fine and am grateful to be fully vaccinated and twice boosted. I hope everyone stays current on their vaccinations so that, if they are exposed, they too will have milder symptoms.
