Words cannot describe what we'll be losing if these cuts go through.
This was an absolute gut punch when I saw the news. I'm hoping somehow this doesn't happen, because the work you all do is the pinnacle of what government funding can do for wildlife and conservation.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

Of course many federal workers can just “find another job”. But the point is that the jobs we do are done for the *public good*. There are no private sector corollaries. We do things that are largely not profitable and that is on purpose. We do work that benefits everyone, if sometimes indirectly.
That’s how you write a headline, people.

Whenever I see misinformation on here related to topics in which I have expertise, I struggle to choose between the two paths:
(1) Correct the misinformation, or;
(2) as a mentor once advised me, “don’t wrestle with pigs, because you’ll get dirty and they love it.”
I usually pick the latter.
I'm fully in favor of just filling everyone's feed with camera trap photos of hungry bears.
