Ugh! We need-everyone-needs to stay on this right now! And the media must begin covering this!
The EPA is rolling back protections for wetlands, narrowing the reach of the Clean Water Act. Several wildlife agencies also advanced measures to limit the Endangered Species Act. The federal government also moved to permit new oil and gas drilling in coastal waters. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/22/c...
