Senator Mike Lee is at it again. He has formally b Senator Mike Lee is at it again. He has formally begun the process to fast-track the destruction of Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument in Utah by adding the Government Accountability Office (GAO) opinion regarding the Monument’s Management Plan to the Congressional Record. Under the Congressional Review Act (CRA), once a “resolution of disapproval” is introduced (anticipated to occur any day), both chambers of Congress can expedite their votes and pass the measures by simple majority votes.

If that happens and the resolution is signed into law by the President, the Monument Management Plan – which sets expectations for how the land will be managed for wildlife, outdoor access, dark night skies, grazing, and other uses – will be undone and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) will be barred from issuing another plan that is “substantially the same” in the future.

The All Pueblo Council of Governors, the collectiv The All Pueblo Council of Governors, the collective voice of the 20 Pueblo Nations of New Mexico and Texas, voted on December 4, 2025, to support America’s Red Rock Wilderness Act (ARRWA). The Council’s resolution endorses congressional wilderness designation for lands within the Act, which would protect more than 8 million acres of federal public lands in Utah. This is the fifth tribal endorsement of ARRWA, following endorsements by the San Juan Southern Paiute Tribe (2025), Zuni Tribe (2024), Hopi Tribe (2023), and Navajo Nation (2021).
