THREAD: Over the holiday, @Interior quietly proposed a rule that would gut the Freedom of Information Act by making it more difficult for the American people to access public records and limiting transparency at the department... tinyurl.com/y8r7fkg4
(2/12) #FOIA has been a critical tool for holding @Interior and the Trump administration accountable and will continue to be essential for public oversight. Below are just a few examples that illustrate how vital FOIA is in ensuring a strong Democracy:
(3/12) @Interior emails allowed @Politico reporters @Nickjuliano and @bjlefebvre to expose that @RyanZinke met at DOI headquarters with Halliburton Chairman David Lesar and other developers about a real estate deal involving Zinke’s foundation. tinyurl.com/y9gu7qwr
#OTD 112 years ago, the #AntiquitiesAct was signed by President Roosevelt & since used to create over 150 national monuments. I’m proud to stand with the millions of Americans who love and cherish our national #MonumentsForAll.
16 Presidents – 8 Republicans and 8 Democrats – have used the #AntiquitiesAct to safeguard public lands, oceans, and cultural and historic sites in order to share America’s story with future generations. President Trump wants to shrink these national treasures.
I stand with America’s #MonumentsForAll, and will fight to preserve our country’s most important national monuments, like #BearsEars and #GrandStaircase.
.@SecretaryZinke is a self-described “Teddy Roosevelt guy,” but his first year at @Interior has shown far more differences than similarities between the two. #WhatWouldTeddySay (thread)
Happy 146th birthday, Yellowstone! Roosevelt called for preserving our parks for ours and future generations – which also means, not pricing people out. Unfortunately, @SecretaryZinke has recommended nearly tripling entrance fees to 17 national parks, including Yellowstone. 
Teddy committed to protecting public lands after exploring what is now @YosemiteNPS. Rolling back protections for these lands, as @SecretaryZinke has continued to do, wasn't in the cards then, and shouldn't be now. #KeepItPublic
