    Because while the wall won't serve its intended purpose of preventing migration, it *will* threaten local ecology, split up towns, desecrate Native gravesites, and cause a mountain of eminent domain litigation that will ruin farmers and ranchers' lives. Is that clear enough?

    If a wall "won't work," why are Democrats so hysterically opposed to spending 0.11% of the federal budget on one?

    Trump and his enablers don't get their way, so they shut down the government to look tough. Now 78% of employees will be furloughed. Enjoy your holiday travel and remember who to thank for the .

    The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge should not be opened up to oil drilling, period. President Trump is cutting corners & rushing to sell this pristine wilderness over to his oil and gas friends. We can’t let this refuge be lost forever

    As Trump throws a temper tantrum over his , a would force 420,000 federal employees to work without pay & another 400,000 employees to be furloughed-right before the holidays. He may not live paycheck-to-paycheck, but that's the reality for others.

    “‘Zinke gone doesn't eliminate the fact that we need to look into that decision-making process,’ Grijalva said. The man that many, including Grijalva, see as being the architect behind much of the department's policy is still at the agency.” 4/x

    "I'm not going to jump in the sty and wrestle with Zinke." responds to the insulting and personal tweet sent by Ryan Zinke, noting "this has been an M.O. for this administration ... if you're cornered ... you lash out at the individual."

    The Committee is looking forward to oversight of who Trump administration policies have benefited financially, who they’ve hurt, and how they’ve impacted the environment. Zinke’s successor will have a chance to course correct. If not, expect a concerted effort to understand why.

    As Secretary, Ryan Zinke gutted our nation’s protected lands and endangered species for profit. Public servants serve the public, not corporate interests. In the 116th, Democrats will fight to end corruption and make Washington work again.

    White House pushed Zinke to quit for weeks and told him he would be fired if he did not. He was viewed as big issue w/Democrats taking House. But he wanted to have his Christmas party Thursday night, where he invited activists, lobbyists, donors and more.

    This is no kind of victory, but I’m hopeful that it is a genuine turning of the page. It’s time for the Interior Dept to put the public good ahead of the fossil fuel industry, and House Democrats on the Natural Resources Committee will do just that come January.
