NOW: Senator @TimSheehyMT’s team tells me he will not allow one acre of public land in Montana to be sold, post a proposal from The Department of Interior in their new strategic master plan that indicates it as a possibility:

Americans across the political spectrum have already stood united against selling off our public lands. And make no mistake, we’ll stand united again.
Americans don’t want their public lands sold. Period.
How is Washington still not listening?

I know a lot of incredibly talented legislative staff at the CA State Capitol who are looking for their next opportunity. These are some of the best people I’ve had the privilege of working with, and I can personally vouch for them.
If you’re hiring or know of any opportunities, please reach out. I’d love to help connect some really great people with organizations that would be lucky to have them. #caleg

Public lands provide 1000x more value to our nation than any sell-off would bring.
Public lands were not created for one-time disposal to fund the government.
The backlash from this will be substantial. And it should be.
NEWS: The Trump administration is officially planning to sell off public lands.
The Interior Department publicly laid out a strategy to reduce the amount of federal lands by selling property to states, tribes, and local governments.

Hoy se levantan ídolos que reclaman nuestra adoración: el éxito a cualquier precio, el dinero, la obsesión por la apariencia, por la popularidad o la búsqueda desenfrenada del placer. A veces, con tal de conseguir la aprobación de los demás, podemos llegar a mentir, traicionar o humillar a alguien en las redes sociales. ¡No se arrodillen ante aquello que no puede darles vida! Y si alguna vez han caído, ¡levántense! No permitan que nada ni nadie les arrebate la libertad que Dios les ha dado. #ViajeApostólico #Argentina

Today idols arise and demand our worship: success at any cost, money, an obsession with appearance, popularity, or the unrestrained pursuit of pleasure. Sometimes, in order to win the approval of others, we may go so far as to lie, betray, or humiliate someone on social media. Do not bow down before anything that cannot give you life. And if you have ever fallen, get back up. Do not allow anything or anyone to take away the freedom God has given you. #ApostolicJourney #Argentina
It’s really simple. No data centers on public lands. Period.
New: The Interior Department may open tens of millions of acres of public lands for AI data centers. ProPublica found Trump officials who oversee these lands stand to profit from the growth of the industry. propub.li/4irJtn8

My op-ed with Ted Roosevelt IV reflects a conviction I hold deeply: Our public lands are worth defending, their future is worth fighting for, & we can never surrender them to greed or short-term interests.
Together, we can build a public lands system worthy of the future. ✌🏼

More than 120 years after Theodore Roosevelt and John Muir helped shape Yosemite’s future, their descendants reflect on what we owe the next generation and the threats facing public lands—from a proposed Yosemite land exchange to efforts to repeal the Roadless Area Conservation Rule.

The momentum is growing to restore Hetch Hetchy Valley in Yosemite National Park.
Our letter to Congress has helped spark a national conversation.
The nation now knows: We can restore this valley without anyone losing a drop of water.
A legacy for future generations.

The western Joshua tree is part of what makes the High Desert special.
Protecting it while respecting the people who call this place home takes collaboration and practical solutions.
Assemblymember Juan Carrillo and I worked across party lines to improve the Western Joshua Tree Conservation Act. With input from local residents, cities, Riverside County, and the Department of Fish and Wildlife, we secured practical changes that were signed into law.
Good policy starts with listening and finding common ground. I’m glad we came together around a shared goal of protecting these iconic trees and supporting our desert communities.
I hope you get a chance to enjoy these incredible trees out on the trails.

When the goalposts are moved against people able to use their voice to protect places like Hot Creek in California’s Eastern Sierra, announcements like this raise serious questions about public participation and the future of our shared inheritance.
Public lands belong to the American people. Their voices are not obstacles to stewardship. They’re essential to it.

Dear friends, during some recent medical examinations, the doctors found a small, localized nodule in my lung. It was detected at a very early stage and is well-localized. The doctors believe that it is best to intervene, so, following their advice, I have decided to undergo surgery to remove it. The operation is already scheduled to take place in the coming days. I thank you for your spiritual closeness and entrust myself to your prayers.
