A bit of good news.  I know, the struggle isn't over (Lee has already said he's going to try again) , but anything positive these days seems worth celebrating.

Republicans Forced to Remove Sale of Public Lands From Budget Bill

Senate Republicans were blocked from adding a disturbing provision on public land sales to their sweeping budget bill.


Republican Senator Mike Lee’s proposed mass sell-off of public lands has foundered on the rocks of Senate procedure.

As a budget reconciliation bill, the Republicans’ One Big Beautiful Bill can pass with a simple majority, rather than the 60-vote hurdle needed to overcome a filibuster. However, it is subject to certain constraints: Under what is known as the “Byrd rule,” provisions that are unrelated to the budget get the chopping block.

Accordingly, Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough has in recent days been stripping certain extraneous provisions from the plan.

Among the dirt washed away in this so-called “Byrd bath” was a provision authored by Lee that would have put for sale up to 3.3 million acres of public land in 11 Western states, including Lee’s state of Utah. The plan received criticism from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle and from hunters, fishers, and conservation groups concerned that it would impact treasured natural sites in the American West.

Yep, not exactly a comforting poll. 40% is easily a plurality in this country, because I guarantee a sizeable chunk of that 60% would still say, "At least it's not Kamala."

Mike Lee is an awful person. I hope he burns in whatever version of hell he believes in. Just an astonishingly stupid person with all the redeeming qualities that a serial killer possesses.

40 percent of voters hold back America from making any meaningful progress as a country. That 40 percent would kill their own mother if they thought TFG wanted them to do it.

Oh for fucks sake (or is it "fuck's" sake?), the stupidity knows no bounds, yet her constituents will still eat it up.

Depends on the number of fucks. If you are chock full of fucks, it’d be fucks’ sake.
