E.P.A. Says It Will Eliminate Its Scientific Research Arm

The Environmental Protection Agency said on Friday that it would eliminate its scientific research arm and begin firing hundreds of chemists, biologists, toxicologists and other scientists, after denying for months that it intended to do so.

Science tells the truth, Donald Trump lies. Firing EPA scientists will mean more pollution, higher energy costs, more cancer, and more lies from Lee Zeldin. EPA scientists protect us from toxics and illness and dirty air and water. Stand up for them because they stand up for you.

I'm surprised the Trump administration hasn't killed the EPA yet.

I keep forgetting it's not the E.P.A. and it's not the FBI and it's not any other US Gov org that's been infiltrated...

It's not even tRump - orange fairy boi is just the stooge.

It's the Heritage Foundation, the architects of Project 2025.

It's Stephen Miller, Kevin Roberts, Russell Vought, and so many more.

While assassinating tRump would bring great satisfaction, the orange weirdo is not the actual problem.

It's the POS pulling his tiny little strings.

Ladies and gentlemen...we are well and truly screwed.

The whole ---- Cabal needs to Go.

Gangster --------.

America is "So Stupid"(tm).

Everything is for Sale.

It's like 1870 all over Again.

With the same outcome only worse.

Life on the Mississippi...that's what I'm talking about.

"Brisk men, the Dollar their God, how to Get It, their Religion".

America...in one sentence.

Who needs science research when there is an autocrat telling you what to believe?

Of yes, getting rid of this agency should really help us all. Not!

Good God Gravy Marie. At the rate we're going out country will be just a grease spot in four years. We won't have anything left to salvage.

It's pretty impressive how there are no longer any Republicans who believe in science.

It's only been half a century since Nixon created the EPA.

Now, Republicans want to destroy the EPA.

It only took fifty years for Republicans to do a complete 180 on science and higher education.

Funny how you dips(*&s think everyone else is motivated by greed.

Meanwhile, you enthusiastically support a POTUS whose entire goal is to grift as much as possible and your own stated worldviews center around getting as much as you can as often as you can.
