Rep. Mike Levin@RepMikeLevin·
Wildfire season is coming, and the Trump Administration just shut down 57 of the 77 Forest Service research stations that study wildfire risk, including six in California alone. These are the scientists who tell us where fires are most likely to ignite, how fast they’ll spread, and what we can do to get ahead of them. DOGE gutted the agency last year, and now they’re shutting the labs down entirely. This is choosing to go into fire season blind, so when the next major wildfire hits, remember that this Administration saw it coming and chose to look away. nytimes.com/2026/04/03/cli…

@SenAlexPadilla @OrbPlanet Thank you! This whole proposed FS reorganization and elimination of much-needed research is insane. I worked in FS Research (fire ecology) for 25 yrs, in field and WO, so I know how impactful those programs have been. Maybe that's DTs problem. Facts interfere with fantasies.

Closing U.S. Forest Service research stations in California right now isn't just reckless — it's dangerous. With historically low snowpack and peak fire season arriving early, we need MORE federal resources, not less. I will fight to keep these stations open and kill this plan!

JUST IN: The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled against absolute immunity for Donald Trump in the Epstein case, allowing him to be legally subpoenaed. Raise your hand if you stand with the Court! 🖐️

@MikeLevin I'll admit to some confusion. I strongly support the FS, and FS Research fills an essential role. But it seems these are proposals that Congress has the power to stop. The appropriators have control. And in 2026 budget for FS the president's proposals re FS were mostly ignored.

The U.S. Forest Service has protected 193 million acres of American land for over a century. Hunters, hikers, farmers, and rural communities have counted on it across generations. Trump is gutting it. Regional offices and research stations are closing. The agency Teddy Roosevelt built, hollowed out weeks before wildfire season, to make more room for lumber lobbyists. Teddy Roosevelt is rolling in his grave. And Republicans in Congress are just watching it happen. newyorker.com/news/the-lede/…

DTs Attempts to destroy the USDA Forest Service are unconscionable. Let Congress know how you feel. DTs 2026 budget proposal would have eliminated FS research, but Approps committees disagreed and continued funding in 2026. President proposes, but Congress appropriates.
No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen@NoLieWithBTC

Breaking: Trump orders the dismantling of the US Forest Service. All regional offices are being shut down and the research program destroyed.

Regardless of whether it’s all talk, when the leader of our country expresses plainly genocidal intent, everyone has to do something. For citizens of all political stripes, it means rejecting this madness. For Congress, it means taking action to rein him in. Now.

@vxylily In the Eisenhower Exec. Office Bldg, right next to the WH. When we evacuated we looked down the street and saw the plume of smoke from the Pentagon. A day I will never forget.
