The Trump administration, led by corporate-owned Ryan Zinke ruining the Department of Interior, is at it again. Previously in April 2018, they removed Endangered Species Act protections for Yellowstone grizzly bears after more than 42 years on the endangered species list.
Scott Pruitt is in charge of the Environmental Protection Agency yet he would love nothing more than to erase it from existence. After weeks of headline coverage of Pruitt's unethical, fraudulent, and often illegal behavior, he was somehow not forced out by the White House or Congressional pressure so continues on destroying the EPA from the inside. Just yesterday, June 6, 2018, several of his colleagues quit, with exact reasoning unknown at this point. Meanwhile, Pruitt continues to live out his wildest fantasy exhibiting corruption at a level not previously imaginable.
The Trump administration, led by corporate-owned Ryan Zinke ruining the Department of Interior, is removing Endangered Species Act protections for Yellowstone grizzly bears, after more than 42 years on the endangered species list.
U.S. officials will not restore federal protections for Yellowstone-area grizzly bears, despite a court ruling that called into question the government's rationale for turning grizzly management over to states that are now planning public hunts for the animals, according to an announcement Friday [April 27, 2018]....
Fearing a "public relations nightmare," Trump's White House and the Environmental Protection Agency, under the reign of Scott Pruitt, blocked the release of a major water contamination story. Journalists, members of Congress, environmental and public health advocates, and water experts are all calling on the Trump administration to "immediately" release the report.
Trump's swamp is full of appointees we will never hear anything about who are doing awful things everyday to harm our nation, our world, and our future. They do so on behalf of an evil ideology fed by money received from corporate interests. Sometimes figuring this out is not difficult - they actually publicly brag about what they're doing!
Scott Pruitt is in charge of the Environmental Protection Agency yet he would love nothing more than to erase it from existence. He's been attacking our environment and our future in hundreds of very meaningful ways. In this post, we describe the latest one.
UPDATE 7/5/18: Wheeler is now the acting head of the EPA following Pruitt's resignation.
------
Scott Pruitt now has a #2 at the EPA that might be as bad as him. When our loud resistance and smart dissent pushes Pruitt out of power, we now have Andrew Wheeler to worry about destroying our globe.
The Senate confirmed Andrew Wheeler to be the No. 2 official at the Environmental Protection Agency on Thursday [April 12th].... The vote was 53-45.
As we have said dozens of times, Scott Pruitt is in charge of the Environmental Protection Agency yet he would love nothing more than to erase it from existence. He's living out his wildest fantasy with this sadistic opportunity to destroy it from the inside while exhibiting corruption at a level not previously imaginable. In Pruitt's mind, nothing, even the future our the one planet we have, should stand in the way of corporations doing whatever they want to maximize profits.
If there's one thing we can count on from Trump and his flunkies, it's that they will repeatedly staff departments with people who hate the very existence of the group they're nominated or appointed to lead. The examples are endless and infuriating. The one described herein is among the worst.
Susan Combs, a former Texas state official who compared proposed endangered species listings to “incoming Scud missiles” and continued to fight the Endangered Species Act after she left government, now has a role in overseeing federal wildlife policy.
As we repeatedly state, Scott Pruitt is in charge of the Environmental Protection Agency yet he would love nothing more than to erase it from existence. He's living out his wildest fantasy with this sadistic opportunity to destroy it from the inside while exhibiting corruption at a level not previously imaginable. In Pruitt's mind, nothing, even the future our the one planet we have, should stand in the way of corporations doing whatever they want to maximize profits. This is as simple as we can explain it.
