COVID-19 Response

Like everyone else, we urge you to wash your hands and engage in social distancing.

Unlike everyone else, we urge you to also help with this smart plan to get more tests, ventilators, and PPE. Everyone can do that plan right now, at home, in just 15 minutes.

If enough people help with the plan we can save lives. Take time out now and help get more desperately-needed supplies.

Post-election? Mostly press clips praising Pruitt, news of Pruitt's various trips.

Nearly all praise is about industry-friendliness; nearly all initiatives cooperating with industry.

Even casually, narrowly viewed through news alerts, the picture is one of a dept that has near utterly abdicated its duty to regulate.

Anyway, today the AP wrote about Superfund sites in Texas exposed to floods. "EPA not on scene," they wrote.

So not only has the EPA abdicated the duties it has performed for 50 years, it is engaging in political smearing of the press and critics.
