This affects #NPS lands.
We know that Roger Stone has previously been keen to facilitate the Tech Bro “network state” movement in Honduras, & we know that the same movement has been eyeing the SF Presidio & Indian tribes. Trump also keeps targeting the Presidio. which makes me extra wary of Stone’s latest lobbying venture.

The Trump administration wants to access detailed medical records from millions of federal workers and their families, with no clear guardrails on how that data would be used or protected. This intrusion into people’s private health information is unacceptable!

I said it back in early 2025 but Elon Musk seizing the Treasury's payment systems and the federal payroll systems from career bureaucrats was one of the most important steps in achieving Trump's coup against our Constitution and no one was paying attention

I'm sorry, but WTF does the Secretary of Interior, who leads the management of Federal lands have ANYTHING expertise say about oil in Venezuela. I'll give you the answer: it has zero to do with #PublicLands and everything to do with Burgum being a "drill, baby drill" guy.
Burgum: "I think the way the relationship is gonna develop with the Venezuelan leadership is gonna be one where the US is gonna play a very strong role. We're gonna have our presence there and we're gonna be able to have our fingers on the dial in terms of how the revenues are flowing."

Reports are coming in from federal employees at the NPS that the performance appraisals for employees will be "calibrated" and no one is allowed to receive the highest rating. Any Suprrintendent who doesn't comply will be replaced (fired?).
