Trump claims he wants "immaculate air" and "immaculate water" but he's already reversed 68 environmental rules and regulations (including 19 air pollution regulations and 4 water pollution regulations).

The climate crisis is the greatest challenge facing humanity, and the Trump administration is doing all it can to cause as much damage as possible. We need a Green New Deal.

In the first presidential debate, when Joe Biden said Donald Trump has relaxed regulations regarding methane emissions, the President shook his head and responded, "Not true." But our running tally of environmental rollbacks includes several methane rules.

Just one example of why Biden if elected will need to spend full 4 yrs just trying to reverse damage Trump Admin has done. Sadly, it will be a national salvage operation, not a clean slate with lots of opportunities and upside for bold new initiatives.

We aren’t properly responding to COVID-19 locally by building a more resilient & sustainable mobility future & our national government is turning the clock back on Climate Change. That’s how we’re responding to the existential crises of our times.

White working class Trump voters have thus far been rewarded with tax cuts for the rich, mismanagement of a global pandemic, and a massive rollback of environmental protections. Soon, they will experience the economic devastation wrought by COVID-19.

@carolecadwalla Mighty selective & consistent pattern & practice in that law & enforcement of this criminally insane radical ‘conservative’ jet set Boris Johnson & Dominic Cummings serve.

#RT @FredKrupp: Essential reading. But keep in mind: Overall the Trump admin has lost or been forced to withdraw environmental rollbacks in 43 out of 45 cases litigated by numerous parties. The fight is far from over

During a public health crisis, rolling back protections that ensure clean air and water would seem incomprehensible.
But never doubt the Trump administration.
In three years, they have set us back indefinitely & undercut safety and science in the process.
It’s unconscionable that Republicans put the interests of big biz above our health. Preserving precious landscapes like TX's Hill Country & keeping our water/air chemical-free must be a priority. What happened to the R party that supported the EPA? #TX21

As Trump tries to blame his COVID-19 failings on everyone else it's worth keeping his administration's pattern of negligent disregard for public health, humanity, and science in the forefront. Not every element of this crisis is unprecedented.
The Mad King has done so much damage to the health and wellbeing of Americans. It must stop, and must be reversed to the extent possible. @NYTimes
