Today, EPA's Lee Zeldin announced rollbacks on key environmental regulations, including pollution limits for coal plants, climate rules & EV standards. He called it a “consequential" day of deregulation, but for those who care about clean air & water, it's one of the most destructive in US history.

So what’s new! They’re destroying the economy, democracy, country and now our planet. They’re like a bunch of Tasmanian Devils but worse.

Doesn’t look like those of us that support the environment can do anything, even environmental groups may be sued. Congress is letting us down. The courts are all that is left.

It makes me furious to think about the gutting of our environmental laws. I grew up on LA in the 50’s and it was very smoggy. Look it up - check out the air quality from 1945 to 2025. The incredible progress we’ve made is a risk. Why? Who benefits? So Exxon Mobile can start doing buy backs?
