The Venezuelan Legislature, controlled by #Maduro’s ruling #Socialist Party, passed the new #law one month after the #US #interior secy, #DougBurgum, brought dozens of US #mining executives to meet with the country’s acting president, #DelcyRodríguez. Both officials vowed to open #Venezuela’s coveted deposits to US investment.
The proposal passed by a unanimous vote. The measure next goes to Rodríguez for final approval.

Earlier Wednesday, #Interior Secy #DougBurgum posted a map on X labelled "The new interior", comparing the flight time from Washington to Nuuk in #Greenland with that from Washington to Anchorage in Alaska.
Rep Teresa Leger Fernández (D-NM), the ranking member of the congressional subcommittee responsible for interior affairs, called the post an “outrage.”
“President #Trump, you cannot go & acquire a #NATO state because you want it.”

“The prime duty of the United States government is to protect the American people,”Interior Secy #DougBurgum [who has vested interests in carbon capture & storage & enhanced #oil recovery tech] said. “Today’s action addresses emerging national security risks, including the rapid evolution of the relevant adversary technologies, & the vulnerabilities created by large-scale offshore #wind projects with proximity near our east coast population centers.”

#Trump Ripped Over ‘Reckless’ Plan to Drill for Oil Off #California, #Florida
“#DonaldTrump and #DougBurgum are once again trying to sell out our coastal communities and our public waters in favor of #CorporatePolluters’ bottom line.”
Jessica Corbett
Nov 20, 2025“Despite overwhelming bipartisan opposition, Trump and Burgum are moving forward with their reckless plan to serve their ultimate goal of handing over our public lands and waters to #BigOil CEOs,” Blackford continued. “These lease sales are privatization in everything but name—a ‘keep out’ sign is the same whether an area was sold or leased. The Sierra Club will continue to stand with coastal communities and work to stop this reckless plan dead in the water.”

Fire up the #naturalgas turbines, says #US #InteriorSecretary: We gotta win the #AI arms race
#Climatechange? No worry - we can solve that later, argues #DougBurgum
You would think that the government official responsible for safeguarding the US' natural resources would be opposed to abandoning climate change mitigation pledges in favor of firing up #fossilfuels to power AI development.
This is the Trump administration, however, so you'd be wrong.

#Climate ‘Ideology’ Hurts Prosperity, #US Officials
#ChrisWright, energy secretary, pushes #Europe to buy more gas. #DougBurgum, Interior secretary, tied #fossilfuels to need to win at #AI
“What’s going to save the planet is winning the AI arms race. We need power to do that and we need it now,” Burgum said. “We need to worry about the humans that are on the planet today. The real existential threat right now is not one degree of #climatechange.”

Here’s the Deputy Secretary of the Interior Doing the Bidding of a Foreign Mining Company
2025-07-17-memo-reinstating-m-37049DownloadOn the very same day that the DC District Court of Appeals issued its per curiam opinion putting the Boundary Waters litigation on hold for 90 days, Deputy Secretary of the Interior Kate MacGregor issued this memo, re-instating the Jorjani M-Opinion.
That legal opinion misconstrues history, suppresses evidence, and twists logic to say that Twin Metals has a “non-discretionary” right to renewal of its mining leases on the edge of the Boundary Waters: put crudely, it says that a foreign mining company has more discretion than the United States government over the disposition of federal lands. The US government capitulates and cedes decision-making authority to a foreign conglomerate.
This is the very same legal opinion that led the agencies into a legal and ethical morass during Trump’s first term. (For context, follow this link; it will bring up about four pages of results. For some discussion of the legal opinion, see this, this, and this, at least for starters. The Jorjani M-Opinion was also one focus of my Boundary Waters FOIA litigation. Those public records are posted here.) It feels like we’re caught in a time warp, or some kind of loop.
We are returning to status quo ante, or at least ante Biden. Antofagasta obviously did not like its chances in the DC District Court, and with Doug Burgum’s help it managed to put the litigation on hold. Pete Stauber failed to sneak non-reviewable lease renewals for the Chilean company into the latest budget. But the mining company and its lobbyists were able to pull strings at Interior. Now they will have to undo, or find a way to work around, the twenty-year moratorium on sulfide mining in the Rainy River watershed put in place by the Biden administration.

The #Trump admin plans to eliminate federal protections that ban #drilling & #mining in millions of acres of pristine #Alaska #wilderness. #Interior Secy #DougBurgum said the #Biden admin had exceeded its authority in adding restrictions on more than half of a 23 million-acre area originally envisioned to supply fuel to the Navy in times of emergency.

*#Conservatives* in Western states especially have long seen the president’s power to unilaterally set aside land as an example of federal overreach, w/many viewing it as a burdensome restriction on #mining & #drilling.
…During his confirmation hearing, Interior Secretary #DougBurgum said the #AntiquitiesAct is meant only for small, “Indiana Jones-type archeological” sites.🤦🏼♀️

#US #Interior secretary orders #offshorewind project shut down
The order from US Secretary of the Interior #DougBurgum, who alleged that the project was rushed through review. But #Burgum's move comes the same week a report from the Government Accountability Office, done in response to the executive order, found only minor issues with the existing permitting process.
The #Equnior project, termed #EmpireWind, is a key part of #NewYork's plans to meet its #climate goals.

"Secretary of the Interior #DougBurgum visited two Warrior Met mines to emphasize the administration’s commitment to lifting regulations on the extraction of ‘clean beautiful #coal.’ He did not mention the company’s checkered #safety and #environmental record."

#Trump’s memo, sent to #Interior Secy #DougBurgum, #DHS Secy #KristiNoem, Secy of #Defense #PeteHegseth & #Agricultural Secy #BrookeRollins, states that the #military must “take a more direct role” in efforts to secure the border & calls on the secretaries to act to provide the #DOD “use & jurisdiction” over certain #FederalLands “to enable military activities” on military installations.
