This is why we need draft legislation NOW for a transitional justice tribunal and lustration after he's gone. It's also why states setting up to prosecute Trump administration officials, as NJ under Sherrill and IL under Pritzker are already signaling, is more important than ever.

Trump administration orders dismantling of the U.S. Forest Service
Late Tuesday afternoon, with the subtlety of a wrecking ball and the morality of a foreclosure notice, the Trump administration announced the most devastating attack on the U.S. Forest Service in the agencyās 121-year history. Not a budget cut. Not a policy shift. Not a āreorganization.ā An execution.

Every person who cares one iota about the environment needs to rage loudly over this. It will set us back a century. Demand from your Reps & Senators they stop this. It affects many GOP strongholds throughout the entire US. Also check out this site listing companies supporting Forest Service or not.

Reminder: Corporate consolidation, like what we've seen over the years in the airline industry, leads to less competition. It gives the biggest remaining corporations the power to rip you off and protect profits because you have fewer options from whom to buy from.
