“I fear that there is a dark future for the grizzly bear because of the destruction underway by the Trump Administration. If this continues, and what they are doing gets cemented in place, grizzly bear recovery will be dead in a few years.” —Dr. Chris Servheen yellowstonian.org/grizzlies-in...

"Removing habitat destruction from the definition of 'harm' disregards decades of scientific evidence & expert analysis and puts species that the Endangered Species Act helped save, such as the bald eagle and humpback whale, at risk."—Jennifer Jones, Director of UCS's Center for Science & Democracy.

Here at UCS, we love our public lands and the wildlife that call them home. That's why we condemn the Trump administration's latest anti-science effort to strip nest and habitat protections for threatened and endangered species.

“If recent heatwaves are the symptom, then climate change is the illness, and net zero is the medicine. When public understanding of this link is so low, it’s vital that the dots are joined between these three concepts to help make us all better.” - Gareth Redmond-King, @eciu.net

Gauntlet thrown. The protection of imperiled species and their homes—i.e., the rivers, forests, mountains, grasslands, and other ecosystems they call home—pursuant to the Endangered Species Act are not negotiable.

Humanities among degrees being ‘extinguished’ by hard-up universities

Flanked by Utah’s delegation, Gov. Spencer Cox and Utah Speaker Mike Schultz, President Trump again reduced the boundaries and protections of the two monuments. Conservationists and tribal leaders worry it could undo years of work to protect these lands.

Fucking outrageous and shameful We are watching America be destroyed in real time- every goddam day

🚨🚨The Trump administration just stripped nearly 3 million acres from two of Utah's most iconic national monuments for drilling and mining: Grand Staircase loses 1.7 of its 1.87 million acres. Bears Ears shrinks from 1.36 million acres to just 121,000. POLLUTERS FIRST. ALWAYS.

President Trump signed proclamations today shrinking Grand Staircase-Escalante and Bears Ears National Monuments by about 90 percent each. Our statement here: https://westernpriorities.org/2026/07/trump-signs-orders-attacking-utah-monuments-based-on-false-information/

If this is accurate, even a "Trump says this, but evidence does not support it story" will be insufficient. This speech is part of an explicit threat against democracy, to overturn and control democratic outcomes. If we can't call this out clearly, we are lost.

A few years ago people were saying it will be bad for the grand kids But right now its the older generation who are dropping dead in their thousands from extreme heat that their bodies cannot take Over 200,000 dead in Europe in last 4 years and nobody cares

For folks asking why bother commenting because the OMB won't care: comments help build cases for the courts by explicitly laying out harms. That's why it's really important to have your comments be as specific as possible. Also, contact your senators and reps! They actually do care about this.
