Doug Burgum says national monuments should be small, that modern presidents have abused the Antiquities Act, and that monuments shouldn't be "precursors" to national parks. The Grand Canyon would like a word. https://t.co/7EUtpn7NEe

scoop: Public Domain obtained a draft strategic plan to guide the Interior Department during Trump 2.0 the internal doc creates a framework for squeezing revenue from the federal estate, opening up new lands to drilling and other extractive development while reducing federal land holdings and slashing environmental regulations, with the agency’s top goal being to “restore American prosperity” the plan also lists “assess and right-size monuments” as a key strategy an Interior spox said it would take this “leak of an internal, pre-decisional document very seriously and find out who is responsible” https://www.publicdomain.media/p/interior-trump-draft-strategic-plan?r=iv0q&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

Trump's "key actions on the environment" in here include... - "ending the forced use of paper straws" (what) - "protecting public lands" (by opening more to drilling/mining) - "protecting wildlife" (by pausing wind energy projects) incredible stuff https://www.whitehouse.gov/articles/2025/04/on-earth-day-we-finally-have-a-president-who-follows-science/

watching White House press conference... not a word about Earth Day in Leavitt's opening remarks menthol cigs get a question before Earth Day 30 mins in: Reporter mentions Earth Day Leavitt: "That's right, it's Earth Day" Reporter: What does WH have planned? Leavitt: "I do have points from the EPA..." (reads prepared remarks, then says Trump wants clean air/water and that natural gas is clean) lol

NRDC's analysis of the Trump admin's emergency logging directive found that it includes "7.7 million acres ... [that] aren’t even owned by the Forest Service (FS). That includes state lands, private holdings, and other federal agency jurisdictions." https://www.nrdc.org/media/what-usdas-emergency-logging-map-gets-dangerously-wrong
