Instead of just undoing cuts to National Parks' funding, Trump and Burgum's bright idea is to charge international visitors a fortune to visit. This won't generate more revenue. Our tourist friends will just stay home, further harming rural and gateway communities. https://bit.ly/4owyl7X
Foreign Visitors Hit With Much Higher National Parks Fees
The Trump administration will levy a $100 surcharge for each foreigner at 11 national parks and eliminate free entry on Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday and Juneteenth.

Republicans in Congress have given Burgum a long leash, letting him operate with zero transparency or accountability. What is he doing with his thousands of new “personal staff” members? Americans deserve to know, and if Congress won’t pursue accountability, voters will. https://bit.ly/4oY3lz0

New polling shows just how unhappy Americans are with Doug Burgum’s fail-by-design plan. And they have a right to be pissed: our parks and public lands have never been worse off, after draconian DOGE firings and Burgum’s continued dereliction of duty. https://bit.ly/4r2oQQr

Today, we’re thankful for heroes like Bill Lee & Del Nelson, who are spending their retirement protecting our forests & keeping people safe. But volunteers can't fill the void forever as our #PublicLands and #Parks are hollowed out. It’s past time for Burgum to do his job.

Burgum is using his government position to run his own personal kingdom, forcing employees to cater to his every whim. Meanwhile, he's cut 10,000 positions from Interior. Americans aren’t happy with this billionaire diva’s mismanagement of our parks. #SaveOurParks

Sell Off Steve Pearce is a proven loser: New Mexico voters have sent him packing multiple times. He would be better suited in a retirement home, not in a position to help Mike Lee and Doug Burgum strip America’s vast and treasured outdoors down. #NoSellOffSteve #KeepItPublic https://wapo.st/3XIKH1T

“Once you sell land, you’re not gonna get it back.” Sell Off Steve Pearce and Mike Lee's ideas are total losers, and even Trump’s first Interior Secretary, Ryan Zinke, knows it. Are you listening, Doug Burgum? Steve Daines?

Where’s Doug Burgum today? Shilling for Big Oil energy export agenda? Selling off our public lands? Your guess is as good as ours. When it comes to secretly jet-setting on the taxpayer dime, there’s no one better. And with this administration, that’s really saying something!

For our parks, Trump and Congressional Republicans’ historic government shutdown meant destruction of property, graffiti, wildfires, “bear jams,” and dangerous, illegal activities like BASE jumping. If you see something out on the trail, let us know. https://bit.ly/47Z92Fq

Under Burgum, our parks and public lands are forced to operate on skeleton crews and shoestring budgets. Meanwhile, his personal office staff just TRIPLED. Burgum's 'staff for me, not for thee,' attitude shows the rot at the heart of his failed leadership.

Hey, Secretary Burgum – the American people aren’t fans of your slash-and-burn management of our national parks. Bipartisan majorities are sending you a message, loud and clear: stop the cuts, stop the censorship, and stop the sell-offs.

Doug Burgum is about to ignore the near-universal view of Americans who have said loud and clear that they do not want the Public Lands Rule repealed. Why? His Big Oil allies and donors demand it. So he’ll open all our public lands to exploitation, the American people be damned. #SaveOurParks

Doug Burgum’s responsibilities don't include globetrotting to sell the world on Trump’s failed energy agenda. But he’s more than happy to glad-hand oil oligarchs and neglect hundreds of millions of acres of #PublicLand and #Parks under his "fail-by-design" plan.
