US Department of the Interior

American Energy Dominance starts with frontline energy workers. Thank you to the American energy workers who are lowering costs, keeping our country prosperous, and keeping our nation secure.

From bold AI investments, new mining projects, and a visit to Alcatraz, @SecretaryBurgum was front and center in major developments shaping America's future this week.

Mid-July in @DenaliNPS means fireweed season is in full swing! These brilliant blooms light up the landscape, adding a splash of vibrant pink and purple to Alaska’s summer scenery. Here’s to a bright and beautiful weekend! 💜

Under @SecretaryBurgum’s leadership, the Department is restoring leasing access, lowering royalty rates, and advancing POTUS’s Energy Dominance Agenda through the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.

How cool are these two!? Visitors to @NationalMallNPS often spot white squirrels frolicking on the National Mall. Eastern gray squirrels come in various colors and often display a mix of gray, brown, black, and cinnamon fur, but only occasionally white.

The USGS are finding critical minerals in above-ground mine waste. From zinc and germanium in Oklahoma to rare earth elements in coal deposits, USGS science highlights new resource potential while aiding mine remediation. Learn more ow.ly/33ar50WuLLM

Data centers power everything from AI to cloud storage, and they rely on critical minerals to function. Interior is streamlining responsible mining permits to build stronger domestic supply chains and reduce our dependence on imports. Infographic by @USGS

Grateful for our law enforcement officers across the Department for engaging their communities.

Thanks to @USFWS, the Roanoke Logperch is officially off the Endangered Species List. This is a commonsense approach to biodiversity and proof that the Endangered Species List is no longer Hotel California. Under the Trump admin, species can finally leave! fws.gov/press-release/…

As hurricane season approaches, safety becomes a top priority for offshore oil and gas operations. @BSEEgov plays a key role in making sure these operations are prepared for storms and built to withstand severe conditions, protecting both people and the environment.

From smartphones to national security, critical minerals power our modern world. Interior is fast-tracking responsible development to strengthen supply chains and meet America’s energy needs. Photo by @USNavy

Watch the brilliant blue water deepen at Crater Lake National Park, home to one of the cleanest and clearest lakes in the world.

Spent the day on Alcatraz Island, a @NatlParkService site, to start the work to renovate and reopen the site to house the most dangerous criminals and illegals. This administration is restoring safety, justice, and order to our streets. @Interior & @TheJusticeDept are following…

President Theodore Roosevelt urged Americans to 'strive valiantly' and 'dare greatly.' His vision lives on as we protect America’s treasured places and responsibly steward her natural resources for the benefit of all.

Happy birthday, @BLMNational! For 79 years, the Bureau of Land Management has helped steward the health, diversity and productivity of almost 250 million acres of public lands and ensured that all Americans can enjoy them for future generations. Photo by Bob Wick
