All part of their Project 2025 driven campaign to deregulate everything they can in order to boost their big money "donors" profits. It's actually surprising it took this long given they've already opened up drilling pretty much everywhere else including protected national forests. We have the best government money can buy.

You know what would be great? Electing politicians that aren't half-dead already and who actually care about the wellbeing of the planet as they still have to live on it for a a couple of decades.

Yes it makes sense for king clown Rump. As the article said in one part, ' he could be the first person in history to knowingly extirpate a species from the face of the earth'. Which is exactly what he wants for anyone who is Anti-Fascist.

The only "nature" Trump has ever been in or cared about is a f****** golf course. He literally wouldn't care if every animal on Earth died tomorrow. Except for the the economic impact of livestock animals and his ability to eat McDonald's. He put his stupid face on the National Parks pass and as far as I know, he has never been to any in his whole life.
