Last weekend, the Trump administration issued an executive order for the “immediate expansion” of commercial logging on federal lands by selling land managed by the Bureau of Land Management and the US Forest Service. He has ordered 280 million acres to be chopped down, an area nearly three times the size of California. Such a move would demolish ancient forests, endanger or make extinct countless species of animals, and significantly increase wildfires. Their intent is clear: “We are driving a dagger straight into the heart of the climate change religion…”

Despite record numbers of visits to US National Parks, the Trump administration fired 1,000 National Park Service employees in February, and also plans to cut the National Park Service payroll by an additional 30%. Park Service employees are responsible for the safety and education of visitors and the preservation of each park’s landscape of life.

The administration’s proposed cuts to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) would strip
hundreds of millions of dollars from research groups currently studying Alzheimer’s, cancer, heart disease, ALS, diabetes, mental health disorders, opioid abuse, and many other illnesses. Last Wednesday, a federal judge blocked the Trump administration from cutting funds to medical research, but the fight is not over.

Trump has said that he will not be cutting Medicaid–which covers a fifth of all Americans–but House Republicans disagree. House Speaker Mike Johnson has claimed that they’re determined to root out an alleged $50 million in alleged fraud. The Congressional Budget Office meanwhile said that Republicans cannot achieve their $2 trillion budget slash unless they cut Medicaid.
In President Trump and Elon Musk’s desperate attempts to “chainsaw” through the US budget, they are cutting through the very programs that support life.
