“Interior wants to reach ALL Americans to share our mission for American Energy Dominance,” Burgum declared on Oct. 17. “Check us out on Bluesky!”

Bluesky casts itself as an alternative to Elon Musk’s X website and has become associated with more liberal users. Interior’s new Bluesky handle, in the parlance of the internet, appears to be an effort to troll the political left.
