The first year of
@realDonaldTrump's administration has also undermined scientific integrity, threatened access to our National Parks & began a "reorganization" process that could disrupt all of the functions of@Interior.Show this thread -

@Interior serves the American public & tells the story of America. It should reflect its diversity and should never marginalize minorities. That's why I'm so disappointed about the apparent discrimination@SecretaryZinke's reassignment of senior staff.Show this thread -

@SecretaryZinke, your task is to protect, preserve & use resources wisely for the benefit of the American people today, and for future generations. Right now, you are not meeting your mission.Show this thread -
It is alarming that
@realDonaldTrump continues to prioritize “energy dominance” and profits for the fossil fuel industry over the protection of our national treasures, the conservation of our natural habitats & our responsibilities to the American people.Show this thread -
As we go forward, I will work across the aisle to ensure that
@Interior has the necessary funding so that all Americans can continue to enjoy our Nation’s natural & cultural resources and that our actions today protect the planet we leave for future generations.Show this thread
