I will always cherish the opportunities I’ve had to work with the best career staff in federal service and diverse communities across the United States to help figure out solutions to some of the most challenging problems facing our country.

I love @Interior, and it has been the greatest honor and responsibility of my career to serve as @SecDebHaaland's deputy in the Biden-Harris administration.

.@Interior today released a new report offering a series of recommendations to assist federal law enforcement and communities strengthen trust, accountability, and collaboration through community-focused law enforcement. READ: doi.gov/pressreleases/…

Today Reclamation published a revised draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement for Near-term Colorado River Operations in case continued low runoff conditions result in critically low elevations at Lake Powell or Lake Mead, jeopardizing water delivery and operations. 1/4

.@BillyIdol gets it! The Colorado River Basin is the life source for countless communities who depend on it for drinking water and electricity. @Interior is working to make the Basin more resilient to climate change and drought, but everyone has a role in helping conserve water.

NEWS: Leveraging historic investments from @POTUS’ Investing in America agenda, the Biden-Harris administration today announced next steps to advance long-term planning efforts to protect the Colorado River System. doi.gov/pressreleases/…

Delivering on drought

Offshore wind energy is no longer a far-off idea but a reality. We joined @USCleanPower this week to discuss our actions to develop a clean energy economy through workforce development and incentivizing a domestic supply chain. Visit ow.ly/G4E450PT4ls to learn more.

Whoa

In Nevada’s Amargosa Desert and across the West, @BLMNational is enabling solar providers to deliver clean and affordable energy to homes.

Happy Octobear! 🐻

We are on the brink of a Republican government shutdown that would damage our communities and economy. A lapse would severely impact every corner of @Interior's mission – from the people we work with to the sites we manage.   This is far too serious to play extreme politics.

The National Parks remind us who we are as Americans and our shared values. If House Republicans shut down the government, the bears will still be fat. But school children and the public will miss Fat Bear Week, one of our most fun and popular events of the year.

Ain’t no party like a sea otter party! These adorable animals stay together in groups, called rafts, for protection from predators, and so they don’t accidentally float away. They’ll hang out with friends and family and dive deep to catch food. Photo by @GlacierBayNPS

The U.S. needs a modern approach to make sure mining is sustainable, meets the needs of the clean energy economy and the needs of Tribes, taxpayers, the environment, and future generations. This final report offers recommendations to do just that. doi.gov/pressreleases/…

.@DepSecBeaudreau and @AsstSecNewland joined members of the Hualapai Tribe yesterday for a celebration of the Tribe’s historic $312 million water rights settlement, the first Indian water rights settlement enacted during the Biden-Harris administration. doi.gov/pressreleases/…

FACT: America’s national parks are economic engines for the American economy.

The final well control rule released by @BSEEgov last week builds upon the historic regulatory reforms implemented by @Interior in the aftermath of the 2010 Deepwater Horizon disaster.
