This week’s Inside Interior:

American energy abundance will lead to peace and prosperity at home and abroad!

🚨 Today, the Department of the Interior and U.S. Geological Survey released the final 2025 List of Critical Minerals, identifying 60 minerals essential to our economy, national security and way of life.🧵

Yesterday, Secretary Burgum met with energy and business leaders in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to secure America’s critical mineral independence. President Trump is committed to protecting our supply chains, and that starts with partnering with our allies so we’re not dependent on our adversaries!

We are promoting American Energy Dominance abroad, meeting with global energy leaders and entering a partnership with the UAE to advance artificial intelligence and energy innovation. Just because Congressional Democrats took 35 DAYS off (and counting) doesn’t mean we are!

The Department of the Interior is working hard to minimize the damage Congressional Democrats are inflicting on our national parks and gateway communities with this shutdown. Our goals: protect resources, keep visitors safe and maintain access where possible. 🧵

When Congressional Democrats shut down the government, they're shutting off access to America's Balance Sheet! NO business would operate like this!

President Trump is the greatest dealmaker to ever sit in the White House, and he has the greatest tool in his toolkit: the American economy!

This shutdown is bad for prices and bad for the economy. Congressional Democrats simply do not care about what happens to the American people, and they are KILLING small businesses with their meaningless actions!

It's one crazy decision after another from Congressional Democrats, and NONE of it helps the American people!

This week’s Inside Interior:

The National Park Service continues to protect our parks & visitors! 3 individuals who illegally BASE jumped in Yosemite National Park this year have been detained, pleaded guilty & were CONVICTED! Thank you to all law enforcement officers who keep us safe! FAFO! www.nps.gov/orgs/1207/th...

📍This week’s BLM geothermal lease sale in Nevada brought in a record $9.4 million—the largest in U.S. history. 💼 86 parcels received bids 📏 280,000+ acres leased This is the kind of critical energy security work our team continues to advance—no matter the circumstances.

🔔 Despite the government shutdown, the Department of the Interior continues to advance U.S. Energy Dominance. In yesterday’s @BLMNational oil & gas lease sale covering North Dakota: ▪️ 4 parcels, 2,068 acres offered ▪️ $6.6M in total receipts

Gas prices are at a 5 year low! Thank you to our energy workers whose jobs ensure that America remains fueled, powered, and protected. Unlike Congressional Democrats, they don’t take days off!

@cnn.com is proving they are the Clinton News Network with this whopper of a lie. Parks are open, law enforcement are on patrol. Look at these on ground comments that prove just that. When are you providing a retraction @cnn.com?

While our national parks face closures and staff furloughs during the shutdown, let's talk about the National Parks Conservation Association @protectparks.bsky.social, the group that claims to be "the voice of America's national parks."

This week's Inside Interior for our new friends!

What's up, Bluesky? We thought you might've missed some of our greatest hits, so we put this together for you. Can't wait to spend more quality time together! ❤️🇺🇸

Hi Bluesky👋 We are new here. Anyone want to talk about how climate change isn't the biggest threat to our country and that it's actually losing the AI arms race to China? Oh and to @schumer.senate.gov - Stop the madness of trying to give illegals free health care and FUND the government!
