      >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.

      >While Lee claimed the land could be used to address the need for affordable housing, critical observers saw the proposal as merely an effort to pay for tax breaks under Trump. And, under the plan, there would have been “no significant guardrails to prevent valued public lands from being sold for trophy homes, pricey vacation spots, exclusive golf communities, or other developments,” according to the Center for American Progress.

      Thankfully the Byrd rule exists because Republicans plan to gut millions of acres of land in national parks and conservatories. But this bill shouldn’t be allowed to be passed with a simple majority.

      Excellent, large swaths of the West Coast forest were on the chopping block. This is good to hear.

      Okay but what about the dropping of the Roadless Rule yesterday? Obviously this is still a win but let’s not forget they just opened up 58 million acres of forest land to logging.

      I’m sure we’ll be seeing the same effort during the vote for the 2026-2027 budget. And if it’s not passed then they’ll keep shoving it in every budget cycle hoping nobody notices. Stay vigilant cause it isn’t over.

      What about the thing that makes trump king? Is that still going to be in it?

      This land is your land, and this land is my land
      From California to the New York Island
      From the Redwood Forest to the Gulf Stream Waters
      This land was made for you and meAs I went walking that ribbon of highway
      And I saw above me that endless skyway
      I saw below me that golden valley
      This land was made for you and meI roamed and rambled and I followed my footsteps
      To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts
      All around me a voice was a-sounding
      This land was made for you and meThere was a big high wall there that tried to stop me
      Sign was painted, said, „Private Property“
      But on the back side, it didn’t say nothing
      This land was made for you and meWhen the sun comes shining, then I was strolling
      And the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling
      A voice come chanting as the fog was lifting
      This land was made for you and meThis land is your land, and this land is my land
      From California to the New York Island
      From Redwood Forest to the Gulf Stream Waters
      This land was made for you and me

      Let that Byrd keep singing. They removed the provision to limit the judiciary, and now they’re saving public lands. This “big beautiful bill” is getting smaller by the minute.

    20. RamonaQ-JunieB on

      I’m here for this. But I am not naive enough to believe this is going away anytime soon because Republicans hate America.

    21. Atheios569 on

      See how they do this? Now the bill is somehow palatable. It’s not. Hook line and sinker. Add something outrageous, take it away, and it somehow becomes a win for the left despite all the other bullshit.

    22. LegDayDE on

      It’s almost as if the budget bill should be about budgets and not about whatever the fuck they want it to be about.

      MAGA is such a lazy movement they just can’t be bothered to put together a proper legislative agenda..

    23. Psychicgoat2 on

      It will come back in a different way. Republicans aren’t going to let this go.

      “Welp, we tried to get you your big beautiful resorts, but fear not, we have plenty of Repubs we can still bribe with memberships, sir.”

    26. Ambitious_Duck_7892 on

      Republicans don’t want to use taxpayer money to invest in affordable housing for Americans. That’s why they’ve always been so against helping the poor and homeless. Homeless Americans are dying on the streets across the country. Why the fuck are millions of acres of land trying to be sold for „affordable housing“ when there are people in the fucking cities who need housing?

      Would the money go towards housing projects? Section 8? What would be built on the land? Who would profit from the housing there? Selling public land is solely about the rich stealing from the American people. Any argument towards „affordable housing“ is bullshit and shouldn’t even be entertained.

      Remember, they had to be FORCED. Remember this in every election for the rest of your lives.

      Given how beautiful and filled with geographically unique features Utah is. I don’t see how you can be from that state and want to sell off tons of it to be violated Admittedly I love Utah whereas I would say if this were Texas, southern NM or Kansas then sure. Sell away. No one in their right mind would want to live there to begin with so it would be pointless.

    29. Aggravating_You3627 on

      Selling public land that belongs to all Americans to help fund a tax break for the rich is just insane. What a slap in the face to the middle class and lower class.

    33. CortexofMetalandGear on

      They would sell their mother’s grave if it meant more money in their pockets. Nothing is sacred.

    34. highfructoseSD on

      Like a vampire, this plan will be knocking at our door again in some form, because Mike Lee’s party is running Congress at least through the end of 2026. „Give me permission to ~~enter your house~~ sell off your national forests.“

    35. DerekWeidmanSculptor on

      Thank goodness for this. Of things to conserve, America’s beautiful natural wilds should be at the top of the list.

    36. toxiamaple on

      This is being removed by the parliamentarian, not because it is a betrayal of all Americans. And

      >Lee, for his part, has vowed to return with a diluted version of the proposal,

      Utah! Controll your Senator.

      The GOP 💩wants Americans Sick, Starving, Stupid and Dead ☠️ and they Want the USA to look like a back ally trash heap

      This is great news AND it is still a terrible bill. Do you think healthcare should be taken away from tens of millions of Americans – including half of all newborn babies and seniors in nursing homes – to pay for tax cuts for BILLIONAIRES? Do you think Congress should add trillions of dollars to the deficit, cut programs that make groceries and utilities more affordable, force hospitals to close, make it impossible to regulate AI, and allow the president to ignore court orders? If you answered no, here’s what you can do:
      1. Go to https://www.congress.gov/members/find-your-member to find your representative
      2. Call them and tell them you are a constituent and want them to vote no to The “Big Beautiful Bill”.

    43. Acrobatic-Ostrich168 on

      Bill still STINKS!!!! I hope this wasn’t a diversionary tactic to say “okay okay we removed that, now can we pass it?”

    44. LostAbbott on

      My concern is that is was put in to distract and form a specific opposition to this „small“ part of the bill.  While other just as evil and shitty stuff gets ignored.  It is a pretty basic Trump tactic and it so has worked perfectly with tariffs, what else is being glossed over in the BBB?

    45. yellekc on

      Nice, some good news out of Congress for a change. I mean, they didn’t really do anything good, just stepped back from doing something awful. But I’ll take it.

    46. TesticloitesSagwell on

      My anger that they would even try that is too much to express verbally on this platform.

      So thankful that it has been vetoed.
