Donny 2-Dolls

Since last year, Trump has been granting requests to waive the Clean Air Act to any company that asks him to. So far, 180 facilities, many of whom have already been cited for violations of the Act, have been given a two-year exemption from all Clean Air Act regulations. An estimated 250,000 people live within a mile of one of these facilities, and now face potential health risks as these companies can suddenly ignore the very regulations that were put into place to protect the lives and health of Americans.

These exemptions are granted by Donny 2-Dolls without seeking any input from EPA scientists or consulting any legal experts, environmental groups, or the American people. This is part of a broader pattern in which the Trump regime is destroying all of the progress this country has made in clean energy and environmental protection over the past 50 years.

In order to help the rich get richer, he’s deregulating everything.

He’s a tyrant. He disregards the checks-and-balances system. He overreaches through executive dictates.

The Trump regime is rolling back a rule that declares that "conservation" and "development" of public lands should be treated as equally valid uses. The U.S. Bureau of Land Management oversees about 10% of land in the U.S., and allows land to be leased for legitimate uses, which used to include conservation or restoration efforts.

This regime has been hell-bent on turning our nation's precious public lands into fossil fuel production sites that allow private oil companies to profit of of taxpayer-owned lands.
