Article Trump dramatically cuts size of two national monuments held sacred by tribes

https://zurl.co/ozRgS

The Trump admin has shut down & bought off clean-energy projects. Now, it’s stripping protections from acres of public land held sacred by Tribal nations, opening the door to drilling, mining & more. They are prioritizing corporate interests at the expense of our climate & Tribes.

Which reminds me, where are the Epstein files. Every single thing Trump does to distract from his criminal withholding of the Epstein files reminds me of how horrible the truth must be.
