the department of interior is the agency entrusted with protecting our nation's public lands, our water supplies, our wildlife, our energy resources. it grapples directly with some of the biggest questions our country faces. how to respond to climate change, how to protect endangered species, how to care for our precious natural resources. and yet to lead our interior department, president trump has nominated mr. bernhart, an oil and gas lobbyist who has made a career harming the environment, subverting environmental protections. as former secretary zinke's deputy, he has paved the way for even more polluters to run rampant without accountability. under his watch, the department of interior has already opened a colossal 17 million acres of federal land for oil and gas leases, generating millions in revenue for energy companies, all while bernhart recklessly managed our national parks during the government shutdown. i'm especially troubled this morning because "politico" reported that under mr. bernhart's watch, the department of interior might even green light offshore drilling off the
