War on the Epa

The Trump administration has engaged in a persistent and multifaceted war against the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), systematically rolling back environmental regulations, curtailing the agency's enforcement powers, and undermining its scientific integrity. These actions have severely weakened the EPA's ability to protect public health and the environment, leading to increased air and water pollution, heightened risks of climate change impacts, and a diminished capacity to address environmental justice concerns. The administration's assault on the EPA has been met with widespread criticism from environmental groups, public health experts, and state and local governments, who argue that it is putting the health of the American people and the planet at risk.
