They want you to think of us as distant bureaucrats. But you know us as your neighbors—the scientists, veterans, and park rangers keeping your water clean, your health protected, and your lands safe. We serve you, and we’re fighting to keep it that way.

Jessica: I thought the most shocking part was that Trump says, Putin went through a hell of a lot with me.. Are you comfortable with an American president saying Putin went through a hell of a lot with me? Are they buddies?
