National Park Rangers are now being forced to collect higher entry fees from international visitors and screen them, a change meant to intimidate non-citizens and keep them away. This will hurt and be costly for all gateway communities, small businesses, and rural America. https://wapo.st/4bxIMW8

Special interest magnate Rep. Pete Stauber (MN-8) is trying to force mining in the headwaters of the BWCA Wilderness. The RSC just released a framework for selling off America's public lands. The American people defeated one sell-off scheme last year, and they'll do it again. https://bit.ly/4pEAmzx

Rep. Pete Stauber is trying to force mining in the headwaters of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, and Ryan Zinke is back from the political dead to help him. The most visited wilderness in America can't be a playground for foreign mining interests. https://bit.ly/49IXLKf

Doug Burgum is becoming an enemy of global freedom and liberty, things he used to claim he cherished. Trump wants to steal Greenland by any means necessary, and Burgum is cheering it on, tweeting jokes about his boss’s corrupt bullying. https://bit.ly/4q0XpFe

As a member of Trump’s “National Energy Dominance Council,” Burgum is the face of the cheap Venezuelan oil fantasy, which is “the last thing anyone wants” in the heart of America’s oil patch. https://on.wsj.com/45Bh7jx

“Only someone with the hubris of a king would direct their minions, namely Doug Burgum, to censor American history they don’t like and cancel a free entrance day for one of our nation’s greatest and most celebrated leaders only to move it to their own birthday.” — Jayson O’Neill, Save Our Parks

This Martin Luther King Jr. Day, the American people have to pay entry fees at our National Parks for the first time in decades. On Trump’s orders, Doug Burgum is happy to erase and forget Black history, and this overt racism is embarrassing, for Burgum and for all of us.

There’s still time for Senators, especially the members of the Stewardship Caucus, to draw a line in the sand and send “Selloff Steve” Pearce packing. We need elected representatives at every level to protect and defend our parks and public lands, not sell them for parts. bit.ly/3Z3cLh4

“Selloff Steve” Pearce made millions of dollars in 2025 from oil & gas special interests. No wonder he’s spent a career calling for the sale of our public lands, which would be his first order of business if confirmed. When our public lands lose, Selloff Steve wins. https://bit.ly/3NfzDHQ

Doug Burgum couldn’t care less about America’s actual interior. He’s pledged to spend 2026 helping Trump “unlock Venezuela’s oil,” adding South American oil field revitalization to the long list of things he’s focusing on instead of protecting our parks and public lands. https://bit.ly/3Z6XRXd

Anti-public land zealots like Doug Burgum and “Selloff Steve” Pearce aren’t taking time to ease into the new year. And we know Utah Senator Mike Lee is going to spend his 2026 ensuring special interests get everything they want, like “permitting reform.” https://bit.ly/49wtL4m

Q: Why did congressional Republicans remove language affirming that national parks must remain in federal hands? A: So Burgum and his goons can complete their fail-by-design plan to transfer, privatize, and sell our parks off. bit.ly/4svVhYk

Congress rejected the most drastic funding and staffing cuts Trump and Burgum proposed to our parks and public lands, but they removed language affirming that national parks must remain federal lands, making them more vulnerable than ever to sell offs and privatization. https://bit.ly/4qhX1D8

We’ve spent months documenting conflicts of interest and potentially illegal activity by cronies at Burgum’s Interior Department, many of whom haven’t provided financial or ethics disclosures. What we’ve uncovered so far is just the tip of the iceberg. bit.ly/3YtqYUu

When we said the Trump administration grift off of equity stake mining corporations was real, we meant it. Burgum’s top lieutenant, anti-public land zealot Karen Budd-Falen, is just the latest crony to get their hand caught in the cookie jar of corruption. bit.ly/3LwxPth

Karen Budd-Falen’s family is making millions of dollars off of her “public service.” It’s long past time for our representatives in Congress to say enough is enough and open an investigation into just how deep the rot at our Interior Department goes. https://nyti.ms/3LfBVWM

Karen Budd-Falen’s naked corruption and self-dealing is par for the course at Doug Burgum’s Interior Department, which, instead of serving the American people, has spent a year offering concierge, white glove service to Big Oil and monied special interests. https://wapo.st/49ENbVU

Anti-public land zealot Karen Budd-Falen is working hard to advance her own interests at Interior, and so far, she’s doing great: the Trump administration fast-tracked a massive lithium mine and made her family millions. https://nyti.ms/3LfBVWM

Doug Burgum’s third-in-command Karen Budd-Falen made millions after the Trump administration fast-tracked what’s now the nation’s biggest lithium mine. Illegal, conflict of interest, corruption, or whatever you want to call it, there’s a rot in our Interior Department. https://nyti.ms/3LfBVWM

New year, same mission: Save Our Parks is here to save, protect, and preserve America’s parks and public lands. At every step of the way, we will fight to thwart Trump and Burgum’s unprecedented assault and systematic dismantling of America’s shared natural heritage.

As we approach the new year, we only expect more corruption from Burgum and this administration. We know they’re engaging in unethical (and probably illegal) insider trading. What else are Doug Burgum and his cronies hiding? https://nyti.ms/3Ymf7aC

Burgum got Trump exactly what he wanted this Christmas: he's turned America’s parks and public lands into Trump’s personal propaganda tools, removing signs and exhibits about climate change, slavery, Black history, and Indigenous history from parks nationwide.

Forceful opposition to “Selloff Steve” Pearce’s BLM nomination continues to grow. As members of Congress arrive home for the holidays, they must consider the consequences of confirming an anti-public land zealot like Pearce to lead the country’s largest land managing bureau. https://bit.ly/4s2Bgsl

Trump will inevitably dump Cheerleader Doug Burgum for someone younger and more interesting. But whether or not he accomplishes Trump’s goal of privatizing our parks and selling off our public lands, Burgum will forever be stained by his “service” to this administration.

We know this administration is engaged in corporate socialism, propping up mining companies on one hand and fast-tracking public land extraction on the other. And it seems Trump officials are engaging in insider trading, profiting at our expense too... https://nyti.ms/3Ymf7aC

Doug Burgum has been at the center of Trump’s Big Oil First energy strategy, gallivanting around the world to promote his price-spiking agenda. Just this week, a District Court judge confirmed that Trump and Burgum halting all wind farms on federal land is illegal. https://nyti.ms/4oQwLxU

Trump’s Interior just announced that, rather than offering free park entrance days on MLK Day and Juneteenth, our national parks will now be free on Donald Trump’s birthday instead. Doug Burgum is happy to erase, censor, and forget history that Trump finds inconvenient. https://nyti.ms/44VlNQE

Whether it’s awkwardly calling Trump “the most qualified TV host we’ve ever had sitting in the Oval Office” or begging a crowd to cheer for Trump, when it comes to making a fool of yourself and having fun doing it, Burgum gets an A+++++. bit.ly/3Yqw2c2

Even though he's the most secretive Interior Secretary in modern history, we know a lot about Doug Burgum. Like that he’s running Interior like his own fiefdom, forcing employees to staff his meals and bake him cookies. The question is: what DON'T we know? https://bit.ly/4pNkVFJ

We know Doug Burgum has close connections to major oil and gas executives, like Harold Hamm, and that he even personally received oil royalties as governor of North Dakota. Is he still profiting from private investments as Interior Secretary? https://nyti.ms/4iIAHPV

Doug Burgum is by far the most secretive Secretary leading the most non-transparent Interior Department in modern history. He's ducked accountability and hid his schedule from the American public for almost a full year now. It begs the question: what is he hiding from us? bit.ly/44SuN97

Destroying the BLM would be the capstone of "Selloff Steve" Pearce's sorry career, which has been spent trying to gut independent ethics offices, profiting from oil and gas interests, and being named one of the most corrupt members of Congress. https://bit.ly/4rAtmWF

Doug Burgum understands the simple idea that higher prices lower demand, and his decision to price-gouge international tourists is just the latest in his fail-by-design bag of tricks meant to justify selling off our parks and public lands to the highest bidder. Learn more: bit.ly/4iIyYKr

Here is another case of Doug Burgum illegally wasting tax dollars. #SaveOurParks bit.ly/3KOtT6O

Doug Burgum can't be bothered to do his job as Interior Secretary, but he's more than happy to shill for Trump's offshore drilling agenda that NO ONE WANTS. It's not enough for Burgum to abandon our parks and public lands - now he's ruining our federal waters too. https://bit.ly/3K3Npfu

Doug Burgum wants to play arsonist and firefighter, pretending to solve the funding crisis at our national parks that HE started. Picking on international tourists won't solve Burgum's DOGE-inflicted funding crisis, but new leadership in Washington would. https://bit.ly/4iyIFLp

Rather than doing his job and protecting our parks, Trump’s Interior Secretary prefers to hobnob with dirty energy executives and oligarchs, amplifying their disinformation and corruption. Our parks and public lands would like a word, Secretary Burgum. https://nyti.ms/3WNi0Ay

Good question: “Do Western senators really care about keeping public lands in public hands?” #KeepItPublic #PublicLands https://bit.ly/48Kbz86

Instead of just undoing cuts to National Parks' funding, Trump and Burgum's bright idea is to charge international visitors a fortune to visit. This won't generate more revenue. Our tourist friends will just stay home, further harming rural and gateway communities. https://bit.ly/4owyl7X

Republicans in Congress have given Burgum a long leash, letting him operate with zero transparency or accountability. What is he doing with his thousands of new “personal staff” members? Americans deserve to know, and if Congress won’t pursue accountability, voters will. https://bit.ly/4oY3lz0

New polling shows just how unhappy Americans are with Doug Burgum’s fail-by-design plan. And they have a right to be pissed: our parks and public lands have never been worse off, after draconian DOGE firings and Burgum’s continued dereliction of duty. https://bit.ly/4r2oQQr

Today, we’re thankful for heroes like Bill Lee & Del Nelson, who are spending their retirement protecting our forests & keeping people safe. But volunteers can't fill the void forever as our #PublicLands and #Parks are hollowed out. It’s past time for Burgum to do his job. https://wapo.st/4ob0Urx

Burgum is using his government position to run his own personal kingdom, forcing employees to cater to his every whim. Meanwhile, he's cut 10,000 positions from Interior. Americans aren’t happy with this billionaire diva’s mismanagement of our parks. #SaveOurParks https://bit.ly/4o8YREu

Sell Off Steve Pearce is a proven loser: New Mexico voters have sent him packing multiple times. He would be better suited in a retirement home, not in a position to help Mike Lee and Doug Burgum strip America’s vast and treasured outdoors down. #NoSellOffSteve #KeepItPublic https://wapo.st/3XIKH1T

“Once you sell land, you’re not gonna get it back.” Sell Off Steve Pearce and Mike Lee's ideas are total losers, and even Trump’s first Interior Secretary, Ryan Zinke, knows it. Are you listening, Doug Burgum? Steve Daines? https://bit.ly/4oStSO0

Sell Off Steve Pearce has a long track record of putting monied interests like #BigOil ahead of Americans. If confirmed by the Senate, his dreams could come true, making the administration’s friends and donors lots of money by ruining and selling off our #PublicLands. bit.ly/3KepQR0

Where’s Doug Burgum today? Shilling for Big Oil energy export agenda? Selling off our public lands? Your guess is as good as ours. When it comes to secretly jet-setting on the taxpayer dime, there’s no one better. And with this administration, that’s really saying something!

For our parks, Trump and Congressional Republicans’ historic government shutdown meant destruction of property, graffiti, wildfires, “bear jams,” and dangerous, illegal activities like BASE jumping. If you see something out on the trail, let us know. https://bit.ly/47Z92Fq

If Trump and Burgum have their way, parks will be forced to close, more staff will be fired, history will be censored, and future generations will be stuck with oil fields and mines instead of parks and public lands. The American people want no part of it. https://bit.ly/4r2oQQr

Under Burgum, our parks and public lands are forced to operate on skeleton crews and shoestring budgets. Meanwhile, his personal office staff just TRIPLED. Burgum's 'staff for me, not for thee,' attitude shows the rot at the heart of his failed leadership. https://bit.ly/4o8YREu
