Environmental defenders are raising alarm over Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Environmental Protection Agency, former New York Congressmember Lee Zeldin, who has a history of opposing critical environmental protections and clean energy job investments. Zeldin’s nomination comes as Trump is reportedly discussing moving the EPA headquarters outside of Washington, D.C., which could lead to an exodus of staff and expertise from the agency. “I really don’t think this is about government efficiency. I think this is about terrorizing the career staff,” says Judith Enck, who served as a regional administrator of the EPA in the Obama administration.

Miller was a senior adviser in Trump’s first term and has been a central figure in many of his policy decisions, notably his move to separate thousands of immigrant families as a deterrence program in 2018.

Donald Trump has picked Lee Zeldin, a former New York congressman, to lead the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), vowing the appointment will "ensure fair and swift deregulatory decisions" by the regulator.

President-elect Donald Trump said the New York Republican would help push deregulation and support American businesses. Environmental groups decried the nomination.

Another insurrectionist election denier now has a prominent job in Trump's administration. Former Congressman Lee Zeldin was tapped to oversee the Environmental Protection Agency.

God help us.

Fox News host Martha McCallum claimed the EPA is the enemy to big business, which is a joke. Without rules and regulations trying to keep in check massive corporations, multitudes of Americans would be dead, diseased, infected or damaged in some way.

ZELDIN: Through the EPA, we have the ability to pursue energy dominance, to be able to make the United States the artificial intelligence capital of the world, to bring back American jobs to the auto industry, and so much more.

President Trump cares about conserving the environment.

As you just mentioned in that statement from him, his desire to ensure access to clean air, clean water, it was a top priority.

Trump has repeatedly claimed there's no point getting chemicals out of our air since China doesn't care about it.

Environmental protects are out the window. And thanks to the kangaroo Supreme Court for gutting the EPA and their task of curbing greenhouse gas emissions from power plants.

Say goodbye to any climate change regulations and any effort to ensure the air that we breath and safe drinking water.
