Trump and the EPA are putting chemical company profits over Americans’ health and safety - enough is enough. New video from @corybooker.com x.com/CoryBooker/s...

Problems with a 25-year-old landmark paper on the safety of Roundup’s active ingredient, glyphosate, have led to calls for the E.P.A. to reassess the widely used chemical. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/02/...

EPA dropped its assault on climate science: www.eenews.net/articles/epa...

Trump EPA: "nothing to see here."

While the EPA says the reapproval of dicamba includes new restrictions that will reduce the chemical’s harms, watchdog organizations say it actually weakens protections.

⚠️ Public health protections are under threat. A House bill would weaken #TSCA by limiting the science EPA can use, removing requirements that chemicals be proven safe, and giving industry more sway over chemical reviews. Congress must reject this bill and protect our health from toxic chemicals.

We'll see them in court.​ ​ "The Trump administration is sacrificing our health, our safety, our economy, and our future by abandoning its core responsibility to keep us safe from extreme weather and accelerating climate change." - @abbiedillen.bsky.social President of Earthjustice.

This administration didn’t just roll back protections—it made pollution a business model. Corporations get loopholes. Enforcement disappears. Cancer risk rises. Asthma attacks increase. Polluters profit. Communities pay. Learn more: ajustclimate.org

Dismantling FEMA, NOAA, the CDC, and climate investments won’t stay abstract. Hurricanes, wildfires, farm losses, and rising costs will hit everywhere — including communities the administration claims to represent. When crisis hits, disinformation won’t hold.

UCS’s @dminovi.bsky.social new blog describes how, under the Trump administration, the public is increasingly being cut out of decisions that affect their health, communities, and livelihoods—and how this troubling trend is also playing out at the state level.

Changes in the US Environmental Protection Agency’s regulatory methods prioritize the interests of polluting industries at the expense of public health. Read more from CEO @gretchentg.bsky.social, Economist Rachel Cleetus and Fellow Kristie Ellickson.

Trump’s EPA is rolling back public health protections by weakening limits on toxic pollutants like mercury and soot. Its leadership is siding with polluters over people and abandoning the EPA’s mission to protect human health.

The Trump Administration is gutting the EPA. It is slashing regulations meant to protect public health and the environment. Cutting the agency’s budget and staff. Distorting the agency’s mission so that it protects polluting industries instead of the American public. www.epa.gov/newsreleases...

Trump's ICE agents are making it pretty damn clear—they're not here to keep us safe.

A thimble-full of #paraquat can kill you, but don’t worry, everyone — Lee Zeldin’s #EPA is asking for one more study on paraquat’s safety to be conducted not by independent, unbiased scientists but by its manufacturer. Get the rest in this op-ed from our Environmental Health Science Director ⬇️

On the eve of a bellwether US trial over claims that the weed killer paraquat causes Parkinson’s, Syngenta quietly settled with a retired landscaper who blamed the company for his diagnosis. www.thenewlede.org/2026/01/syng...

Despite claims that the EPA is "reassessing" the controversial weedkiller paraquat, the Trump administration is simply continuing work started by the Biden administration—but not reevaluating the science on the herbicide’s link to Parkinson’s. @lisaelaineh.bsky.social reports. ⬇️

Behind closed doors, members of Congress admit what they won’t say publicly: environmental rollbacks are causing real harm. They fear speaking out now. Our job is to make silence politically riskier than telling the truth. Join us at ajustclimate.org

The environmental justice movement didn’t disappear when protections were rolled back. It’s held together by local, justice-led organizations and the networks that connect them — neighbors organizing neighbors, keeping hope and truth alive.

"The purpose of TSCA is to protect people and the environment from harmful chemicals. The proposed changes to this law are alarming: they remove public health guardrails, undermine EPA’s ability to protect people from harmful chemicals, and will lead to more death and disease."

🚨 65+ health and nursing groups, including ANHE, urge Congress to oppose reopening or weakening TSCA, the law that protects us from toxic chemicals. Public health must come first. Read the full letter here (link in bio): zurl.co/YsTdn

In 2025, the Trump regime erased decades of environmental protections and stripped frontline communities of their right to clean air, clean water, and a say in their own futures. One year later, we are still here. Still united. Still resisting.

As President Trump marks one year back in office, his EPA has proposed rolling back key air and climate protections, which experts say has already begun to strain Texas’ air quality and public health.

“Zeldin’s EPA hasn’t done a single thing to protect public health this past year and he now seems intent on “MAHA-washing” everything that comes out of his office..." - Nathan Donley, Center for Biological Diversity. www.thenewlede.org/2026/01/epa-...

A new analysis argues two newly approved pesticides qualify as PFAS under the most accepted scientific definition. One can break down into trifluoroacetic acid, a highly persistent #PFAS found widely in water. Reducing reliance starts with prevention. #CleanWater thehill.com/opinion/ener...

We're one year in. The speed, scope and severity of what's happening to American science is beyond anything we've seen before. The reliability of the Federal science and technology enterprise and the people within it, has been shattered. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

The EPA had a chance to strengthen protections against toxic #phthalates — chemicals linked to infertility and birth defects. Instead, they sided with the chemical lobby once again. American families deserve better. #TSCA

Scoop: The EPA will no longer estimate the lives saved by reducing air pollution when writing clean-air regulations, according to documents reviewed by @nytimes.com. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/01/12/c...

Just 29% of Americans approved of Trump’s handling of the environment and climate change, and nearly two-thirds said EPA should be maintained or expanded—not reduced. grist.org/article/amer...

On November 21, #IARC, a branch of WHO, designated the #endocrine-disrupting herbicide #atrazine, and the herbicide #alachlor, as “probably #carcinogenic to humans.” Meanwhile, #EPA allows atrazine to be widely used in #food production and landscape management. #2a ➡️ Blog: https://ow.ly/z2rI50XGYnl

While chaos has reigned since President Trump took office, one thing that has been consistent is the administration’s commitment to deregulation. This is concerning on its own, but perhaps more troubling is how it’s happening. Our analyst Darya Minovi explains what’s at stake and how to fight back:

As many as SIXTY PERCENT of future oil & gas plans would be uneconomical without subsidies. That is insane. The US government has provided hundreds of billions of dollars in fossil fuel subsidies for more than 100 years. This industry needs our tax dollars to stay profitable.
