This decision by the Supreme Court is unbelievably harmful. Allowing the President to summarily fire the members of independent federal boards and councils will result in biased decisions that work against the interests of the American people.

In four months, President Trump and a chainsaw-wielding Elon Musk have hacked off chunks of government in the name of efficiency, with tactics rarely seen in public or private industry. Many federal workers said they believe cruelty is part of the plan.

Trump is attacking the rights of one million working men and women in the federal workforce with the goal of jamming through his anti-worker agenda and eroding government services that Americans rely on. I stand in solidarity with AFGE and the labor movement. We will fight back.

UCS fellow Derrick Z. Jackson spoke with EPA workers in the Midwest—responsible for pollution monitoring, cleanups, community engagement, and emergency hazardous waste response—to learn firsthand how the Trump administration's plans to gut the agency are tearing out the heart & soul of its mission.

EPA is taking a sledgehammer to the protection of our air and water. EPA Administrator Zeldin is turning control over to corporate polluters who want to evade accountability for violating the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act & the Safe Drinking Water Act. Dangerous and irresponsible.

Last night, the Trump Admin announced the elimination of EPA’s environmental justice & civil rights office. This is shameful. Instead of Making America Healthy Again, Pres. Trump is leaving us, especially historically disadvantaged communities, vulnerable to pollution and its health consequences.

The mission of EPA is to protect human health and the environment. This irresponsible action by EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin does just the opposite. This puts communities already disproportionately impacted by pollution in more danger, with no recourse. Shame.
