A judge threw out Utah’s congressional maps and ordered the Legislature to draw new districts that comply with the 2018 voter-backed Better Boundaries initiative, which sought to ban partisan gerrymandering.

Mike Lee, the chairman of the U.S. Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, released updates to his public land sell-off bill over the weekend.

Under Biden last year, the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation finalized a decision to allow releases of water to bypass Glen Canyon Dam’s hydropower infrastructure to curb invasive fish populations.

I grew things. I don’t know what these are - I just sprinkled whatever seeds the wife had laying around in her garden box - but still, I grew things. 🌱

Seeking solace, and finding hard truths, on California’s Highway 395 "Here’s the truth: There’s not enough water in Mono or Owens lake. It’s hotter than it used to be." — Insightful essay by @sammyroth.bsky.social reflecting on a trip to the Eastern Sierra: www.latimes.com/environment/...

Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives struck down a move to sell off thousands of acres of public land across Utah and Nevada Wednesday night after immense pushback from conservationists, sportsmen and other groups who opposed the measure.

The state is trying to bridge the gap in its monitoring network, a state environmental scientist said, but it is "exceedingly difficult" to set up new stations.

A badly needed upgrade for the Walker River Paiute Tribe's water system is now in jeopardy after the Trump administration paused a $20 million federal grant as part of its efforts targeting environmental justice initiatives. Read about it here: thenevadaindependent.com/article/trum...

New summer outlook just dropped. 🔥🔥🔥

While atop a mountain Saturday at Chiricahua National Monument, I heard the news the Trump administration was finally doing what many public land advocates feared: targeting recently created national monuments for elimination. My story: insideclimatenews.org/news/1803202...

The Utah Department of Environmental Quality is not spending hundreds of millions of federal dollars, not because those funds are frozen, but because of uncertainty over Trump's federal funding freeze.

Utah received its largest environmental grant *ever* last year to clean up SLC’s dirty air. But the state says it is holding off on spending any of that money due to questions about President Donald Trump’s federal funding freeze. More here: www.sltrib.com/news/environ...

“Depraved and mind-blowing”: Water officials knew that opening dams to meet Trump’s wishes was ill-advised. Here’s why it happened anyway: www.latimes.com/environment/... #CAwater

We talked to three former superintendents of Utah national parks about the impact of the Trump/Musk firings. Here's what they had to say: www.sltrib.com/news/environ...

Three former superintendents of Utah’s "Mighty 5" national parks say the Trump administration’s firings of park staff will degrade not only visitors’ experiences, but also the lands and history the parks preserve.

The Trump administration has ordered firings and buyouts at the federal agency that operates water infrastructure in California. Managers of water agencies in the Central Valley warn this could jeopardize the agency’s ability to manage dams and deliver water. www.latimes.com/environment/...

NEW: A “survey of our niche audience for our niche audience” was the source for the claim that only 6% of federal employees are working full time in their offices. The number isn’t true. Why do administration and elected officials keep relying on it?

“I know people are really worried that they’re next, and I hate to be grim, but they are,” a worker laid off from the USGS in Utah told me. There are thousands of stories like these from fired federal workers across the country. Hard to fathom. More here: www.sltrib.com/news/environ...

These two Utah workers were among thousands of federal employees fired recently to purge what the Trump administration considers a bloated bureaucracy.

I've been able to confirm at least 17 national park employees fired in Utah due to the mass Trump layoffs, but a source tells me that number might be closer to 30. More here: www.sltrib.com/news/environ...

BREAKING: Public unions in Utah are now banned from collective bargaining after Gov. Spencer Cox signs controversial legislation.

"The most important role that the federal government has always played is this role of creating the organizing diplomatic structure by which the states can work out their disagreements. What happens when we no longer have a reliable federal government?" Great stuff here from Daniel & John Fleck:

BREAKING: The Utah Legislature has passed a bill to strip public sector union workers like teachers, firefighters and police of their right to collectively bargain. The bill now goes to Gov. Spencer Cox’s desk.

Trump is seeking to put his stamp on California water policy by directing the government to put “people over fish” and deliver more water from the Delta. Top California water official Karla Nemeth says the approach outlined by the president could do substantial harm. www.latimes.com/environment/...

Last month, I traveled with @hufh4m.bsky.social to Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante national monuments. President Trump previously reduced them. In 2021, President Biden expanded them. Ahead of the inauguration, some wonder what lies ahead for these monuments. https://buff.ly/40wGvER

The shifting political landscape has shaped, reduced and reshaped Utah’s Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante — an ongoing fight that an area business owner refers to as ‘living in limbo.’

The state in August filed a lawsuit asking the court to declare the federal Bureau of Land Management’s ownership of 18.5 million acres of land in Utah unconstitutional.
