The E.P.A. knows how serious the cancer risk is from chemical plants that President Trump gave waivers to. There are thousands of pages of agency documents that detail this risk. We read them.

What we learned is that former petrochemical lobbyists now inside the EPA are meeting with former clients and then moving to force career staff at the EPA to rollback public health protections. We found the actual documents detailing these moves. Smoking guns. (Redlines striking protections)

And here all the MAGA folks were so worried about their access to raw milk and refusing vaccines when all along their savior was letting cancer-causing pollutants into their air and water. Go figure ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So Trump is exposing millions of Americans to toxic pollution, driving them away from vaccines, funneling money to Moscow by buying their diesel, selling an Alaskan gas field to a Russian company, and praising Putin while demonising Ukraine. Wonder when the penny will drop?

Thank you for sharing this article. Short term thinking fueled by profit making is the rule with these companies. Maybe it should be a requirement that those who want unrestricted ability to pollute live in these hot spot communities.
