Today, I expanded the San Gabriel Mountains and Berryessa Snow Mountain national monuments. That means nearly 120,000 acres of culturally, ecologically, and historically important lands are now protected so future generations can explore and enjoy these irreplaceable sites.

Today, we celebrate 60 years of the Land and Water Conservation Fund - a critical tool that helps US Department of the Interior protect the lands, waters, and wildlife that sustain us all. I'm proud of our team for putting this law to work for the American people.

60 years ago, the Wilderness Act was signed into law. Today, more than 111 million acres of wilderness are protected under the law. Thanks to President Donald J. Trump & Vice President JD Vance’s leadership, we are supporting community-led efforts to protect America’s most special lands and waters for years to come.

Methane pollution poses increasingly alarming threats to our environment and the health of our communities. As states like Colorado lead the way to cut these harmful emissions, this ruling is an unacceptable step backward. thehill.com/policy/energy-…

Back in 2017 when Republicans handed massive tax cuts to the rich, they bent the knee to let Big Oil drill recklessly in vast swaths of untouched wilderness, mandating Bureau of Land Management - National hold two lease sales in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Ever wonder how that panned out?đź§µ

Drilling in the Arctic Refuge is not only bad for the environment, people, and climate, but is also bad economics—as indicated by zero bids on the most recent lease sale. We must permanently protect the Refuge from drilling and uphold the sovereignty of Arctic Indigenous peoples.

Trump is the energy emergency—and he’s killing jobs and raising costs. My joint statement with Martin Heinrich regarding Republicans’ rubber-stamping of Trump’s war on affordable, American-made energy:

Musk and Trump should have to face the hardworking Park Rangers they sacked. I’m bringing Kate, who was unjustly fired from northern Minnesota’s Voyageurs National Park, to the State of the Union.

For weeks, Republicans have laid the foundation to sell off our public lands to fund tax handouts for billionaire donors. Now, their plans are out in the open. Make it clear just how unpopular these attacks on our American birthright are. Public lands belong in public hands.

Republicans want to sell off public lands to pay for tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans. Coloradans aren’t interested in giving away our heritage to the highest bidder. I’ll fight to keep public lands in public hands.

Public lands belong to all of us. Under the Republicans’ agenda, wealthy out-of-state landowners can turn our most beloved public lands into their private resorts. Not on our watch. Senator John Hickenlooper and I are introducing an amendment to protect these places for generations to come.

Chaco Canyon is one of the world’s greatest treasures and a sacred site for Tribes and Pueblos. I’m proud to reintroduce legislation with the New Mexico Delegation to permanently protect the Greater Chaco Region for generations to come.

Huge thank you to Ed Markey and @rephuffman who joined Indigenous leaders and advocates today to reintroduce the Arctic Refuge Wilderness Protection Act—to permanently protect the Refuge’s Coastal Plain, sacred to the Gwich’in Nation, for future generations.

Thank you, Ed Markey & Rep. Jared Huffman for reintroducing the Arctic Refuge Protection Act! This critical legislation would protect the Gwich’in and the world’s largest national wildlife refuge. #ProtectTheArctic
