The EPA plans to ignore science and law by repealing its own finding that climate change endangers public health. This is a clear example of the Trump administration putting polluters over people. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

President Trump and unelected billionaire Elon Musk have launched an unprecedented all-out assault on the EPA. Congress needs to step up to keep the administration in check—and block the destruction of this essential environmental agency at all costs.

"When the next catastrophe that spews pollutants into the air or contaminants into our drinking water or food supply arrives, who will deal with the emergency and its aftermath?" Trump's gutting of the EPA will reverse decades of progress and take us back to a time of unregulated pollution.

“Clearly, we need to put an end to this stunt that will fuel a REAL energy emergency, kill thousands of jobs, and raise electricity costs on American families.” @senatorheinrich.bsky.social and @kaine.senate.gov are working to protect working families and stop Trump’s sham “energy emergency” 👏

“Donald Trump and his administration are attacking wind projects. They're attacking solar projects." @kaine.senate.gov called out Trump’s sham "energy emergency" for what it is: a giveaway to Big Oil that is killing jobs & raising costs for working families. "This is no emergency." 👇

EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin has reportedly urged OMB to strike the EPA’s “Endangerment Finding”—a key scientific and legal basis for curbing heat-trapping emissions that fuel climate change and endanger public health. This move threatens critical safeguards. (🧵)

Trump's War on Clean Energy has already killed hundreds of wind energy jobs. Trump doesn't actually care about creating jobs or "unleashing American energy." His only motivation is enriching his Big Oil friends and satisfying his own personal vendetta against wind turbines.

Here are the actual five pillars of the EPA under Lee Zeldin: 1. Remove the EPA's scientific advisory board 2. Putting polluters over people 3. Following the Project 2025 playbook 4. Firing EPA environmental justice staff 5. Implementing a likely illegal funding freeze
