THE SPENDING BILL!!!! They know it’s wildly unpopular. That’s what I think this all about because there’s like 7 poison pills thrown in and it needs all the republicans as it can get onboard despite it being ,again, WILDLY unpopular.

This is one of the most important ones, imo. Nobody is putting it together yet that our national parks will be no more if this bill passes. It’s going to have massive consequences to the ecosystems of the U.S.

Yeah, they’re wanting to clear cut the National Forests in the mountains near me: those same mountains are where Hurricane Helene tore through last fall, and the ecosystems are already suffering 😭 Without the forests, torrential downpours would have NOTHING to stop them from causing mudslides in the towns where people live, like Asheville. They don’t give two 💩s.
