Trump comments on massive public land sell off
Virginia and I are about to hop in the Land Cruiser to drive to North Dakota for a wedding, but I wanted to quickly share something
texted me this morning.“Republicans want to pretend this is just a Mike Lee thing,” Ryan texted. “Act like it’s one bad apple. That’s bullshit and here is POTUS admitting same yesterday. We should not let them off the mat—this is a Republican thing. Burgum started it early, now their god-king is pushing it from the Presidential podium.”
You can read more about that here, but just a reminder that the GOP is currently engaged in an effort to sell off up to 3.3 million acres of your land in the FY2026 budget, and the bill that does that contains language that could authorize future sales of 295 million acres more. All so that billionaires can get a tax cut. All while still adding $3.4 trillion to the deficit.
