Trump's EPA works to gut the Endangered Species Act

while Americans are least likely to be paying attention.🚨🚨🚨

The EPA proposed rulemaking in five major areas was released on Wednesday while all eyes were focused on the consequences of the the House vote to release the Epstein files followed late Tuesday by the US Senate voting likewise.

The rulemaking essentially overturns any implementation of the Endangered Species Act as intended.

Even when courts ruled against the Trump administration‘s attempt to do similar stuff during the first administration, it took the remainder of Trump’s first term and all four years of Biden’s presidency to roll them back. Essentially a six year period.


The article below has links for every piece of the remaking and where it could be commented on in the Federal Register.

Monday

The 30-day rule making began on Friday, November 21.

The last bit from Jim Pattiz and More Than Just Parks on Trump Administration Decides Endangered Species Act Will No Longer Be Followed:

There are four separate rulemakings they’ve published in the federal register today on this. Yes, it’s a blitz. I’ve linked them below (I also linked them in the section where I explained them). Next week, we’ll include sample comments for those of you busy with work/family/the holidays, so please stay tuned.

The “economic costs” one
The threatened species one
The industry veto one
The wildlife consultations one
