But there is no energy emergency—the U.S. is the world’s top oil & gas producer. This is a power grab to roll back protections.

The order fast-tracks projects by using emergency provisions in environmental laws, cutting reviews and waivers for endangered species protections.

Trump signed executive orders to expand logging on public lands while bypassing environmental protections. His “energy emergency” declaration lets him override regulations entirely.

Trump has named Charles Kushner, father of Jared Kushner, as ambassador to France. The elder Kushner once pleaded guilty to tax evasion and making illegal campaign contributions. Trump pardoned him in 2020.

“L’état, c’est moi,” as the saying goes.

Here you go, France. A nepo criminal!

lawsuits can compel companies to pay monetary settlements and attorneys’ fees, and they may also result in the suspension of operations at a facility or the requirement to secure proper permits. We are committed to supporting and empowering citizens in exercising their legal rights. 3/3

of these regulations, effectively leaving companies to self-regulate. However, under most environmental statutes — including the Clean Air Act, a cornerstone of climate regulation — citizens with standing can sue companies for violations when state and federal regulators fail to act. Successful 2/3

Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy have proposed a strategy that would allow companies to bypass environmental regulations by having the government simply choose not to enforce its own rules. They suggest that a potential Trump administration could “immediately pause the enforcement” 1/3

To ensure he can keep taking bribes and not reveal any of his donors, foreign or domestic, Trump has refused to sign a very basic ethics document that would allow his transition to proceed as normal.

I think most Americans don't realize how much this endangers all of us, and media is not saying it.

PLEASE REMEMBER:

trump's win percentage is shaping up to be the third SMALLEST in history.

He does NOT have a mandate, no matter what he says.

That means we push back against every single batshit crazy policy he tries to pass.

EVERYTHING.
Mandate my ass.

Advocating for mass federal headcount reductions & scaling back regulations may align w/ industrial logic, but it ignores the irreplaceable value of the lands, resources, & history that belong to all Americans. Public lands are owned by the people, for the people. (3/7)

Reducing federal regulations won’t solve these challenges—it will worsen them. Regulations protect fragile ecosystems, endangered wildlife, & irreplaceable heritage. The NPS mission is not up for debate. (5/7)
