Summary
Allies of Donald Trump are targeting the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as part of a broader deregulatory agenda.
House Republicans criticized EPA scientific integrity policies, claiming they hinder political leadership, while Senate Republicans, led by Shelley Moore Capito, are attacking strict PFAS drinking water regulations.
These rules, designed to address toxic “forever chemicals,” have faced industry pushback over costs and scientific claims, despite broad scientific support.
Critics warn of intensified attacks on EPA scientists and weakened environmental protections under a potential Trump administration. Industry groups are lobbying to roll back key regulations.
Remember, non-voters: this is what you wanted. This is what you chose. I know I’m not gonna hear any complaining.
