NEW: Trump is moving to open 45 million acres of national forest to logging and development.

45 million. Acres. Land that belongs to you, that your grandparents protected, that nobody gets to replace.

We just launched this. Tell Congress to stop him: https://actionnetwork.org/letters/tell-congress-stop-trump-from-destroying-45-million-acres-of-our-national-forests/

And be sure to share on social media! Thank you!

Thank you Scott! We must stop what DJT is doing to OUR Public Lands and National Parks and Trusts. I am so tired of him leaving his stink around like an old Tom Cat pissing on everything!.

Seeing the DOJ get forced to withdraw its appeal in Pennsylvania is such a huge victory for patient privacy and families standing up for their kids. Beyond proud of this team and community behind it!

I’m so glad the destruction was stopped and hopeful it stays that way, but I’m saddened by the existing damage caused. Even small environmental changes can displace wild animals and disrupt eco systems. We must continue to speak up LOUDLY and protect whatever needs protected, on all levels.

I used to live in San Antonio, and I’ve been all over the whole state for various reasons. What I tell my friend still in Texas, this is your “remember the Alamo” moment. You have to defend against the federal invaders.

Well said Pam!

I think everyone should know that our governor in New York State put a one year hold on any data centers in the state. I think that’s a big win for New York. Now I want to see all of the places that contracted with Flock to end the contracts or refuse to assist ICE with their information.

Sandy S's avatar

Yes Barbara! Let's stop Flock in it's tracks! And all of the similar all purpose 24/7 monitors. I can't help but see someone like Epstein using such information. If anyone thinks that is far fetched, just remember how deep Epstein was in the banking world. Think of ICE using this info, when we know some of their prior histories. Between Flock and AI, OUR Civil Liberties and Rights would be lost.

Nevada is officially a dead heat, and it shows why state-level elections are the frontline of this entire fight. What’s the single biggest issue driving your vote in your state this year?

Great news Scott. Thanks for getting this out. Hope Big Bend Park survives this upheaval.

I live in Massachusetts, so it's all blue, BUT: I fight for Patrick Roath, a young father who is concerned about the future of his children and his constituents. He's running for congress trying to replace the incumbent Stephen Lynch who has held this seat for TWENTY-FIVE years and takes corporate money but hasn't done a town hall for many years. Corporate Democrats have done enough damage and need to be replaced. If there's any way you can help, Scott, please do!

I live in Wisconsin and am all-in for Rebecca Cooke, a small business owner, versus the rampant trumpist Derrick Van Orden for a House seat for the 3rd District of NW WI. This is a heavily contested district, often solicited by Trump, Vance and their cronies, and is seen as critical to winning the House. Also, it's great to have halted the 'dozers for now. Backed by his dark money, Trump will likely be sending them back. Thank you, Scott, for rebutting trump and his corporate overlords.

This is the most joyful noise I’ve heard in a long time. Lots of wins — even beyond Dworkin’s Report. Keep the faith, fight the good fight! Thank you for your leadership!

With the economy as bad as it is, I’m impressed that everyday people are finding the means to step up and fight this administration so bravo! Every win gives me hope

Scott Dworkin's avatar

Same here Patti!

If only they had stopped the rape of Big Bend National Park. They haven’t. They parked the bulldozers but continue to build the structures and infrastructures to support housing government employees (goons). The abuse continues - they’re just hitting BBNP in locations and ways different than previously reported. It’s like the abuser who hits their abused with a sock full of nickels in places that are not easily seen. MAKE IT STOP - TRULY STOP. 🛑

What on EARTH did the DOJ plan to do with files on trans kids?? This reeks of Nazi “science”. Was the government going to go seize those children and put them into some inhumane, tortuous, Nazi science experiment ?

The government has seriously nefarious plans with all of these and other data grabs - it scares me. I have no faith in this administration and believe it has evil intent in all matters. Hell, I trust what I hear from Iranians about 85% of the time anymore. Trump: 0%.

It took a while for the cell phone video to go viral. Hallelujah!?

Today I am over the moon that they stopped the bulldozers in Big Bend National Park! This regime does not understand that We the People love our public lands. They are there for us to enjoy the beauty of nature in all of its glory. They don't understand because they could care less about our country or anything in it! Tear it down! Bulldoze it! Put up a data center! Put up a wall! It sickens me to my core! Honestly, Scott, I do not hold out any hope for Democrats here in Florida. I do not see the Democrats uniting and coming together to flip our state out of the hands of the republicans. Maga is so strong in this state and the Democratic National Committee seems to just turn their backs on helping. It is so sad what has happened here under desantis! The problem is that with so many magas backing him, he has been able to destroy what was once a beautiful state! Keep fighting, America! Stay strong and stay safe!

Sister Stan's avatar

We MUST continue to let them know OUR country is not just another real estate sale. Txs to Scott & everyone here speaking out & acting. Keeping hope alive is crucial

This state is red, bleeding orange, we need to get out and vote starting with defeating Blackburn, Trumps pick for gov. Its sad to see after you experience life in a blue state. Its also very sad to see how Trump is running this country, wake up every AM to check on the man child, whoops, still in office!!!!

The forests must be protected! With such a minor count of crossings it makes no sense to bulldoze the area and disrupt the habitat. Already notified my rep's, but will do it again.

TACO'd on Tuesday as usual! Canada and Mexico don't deserve the treatment DonOld is giving them; businesses are suffering in the US and their countries.

Trumpstein files are surfacing again! More pressure on the Department of JustUs!

Good news for the middle of the week! Got to love Rosie saying "hi" to DonOld as she guest-hosts Kimmel's show!
