- I spent the summer with 3 elderly Forest Service retirees who warned Trump's staffing cuts were imperiling the land — and the public. Now an internal government report I obtained confirms it, finding Forest Service trails are being "abandoned" by Trump: wapo.st/3MJKv07
- Come with me to Lander, Wyo. to meet Bill, Lee and Barb. They were supposed to be retired from the Forest Service. But they're back as volunteers — driving 100s of miles a week, cleaning 5 bathrooms a day — determined to protect forests Trump abandoned. wapo.st/4r4727z
