Ex-presidentās allies and Project 2025 propose restrictions to EPAās ability to protect public from toxins like PFAS
A second Donald Trump presidency would represent a serious threat to dealing with the toxic impact ofĀ PFAS āforever chemicalsā, as well as other toxins, and could be a danger to the health of millions of Americans, experts and environmental campaigners warn.
For example, over the last year, the Environmental Protection Agency developedĀ groundbreaking drinking water limitsĀ for highly toxic PFAS compounds, and designated several of the āforever chemicalsā as hazardous substances, a move that will force industry to clean up its pollution. The steps represent a major win for the water quality and taxpayers, but a new Trump administration would likely shred the rules.
Statements from former Trump EPA officials, theĀ far-right Project 2025 plan, and the Trump-allied American Chemistry Council (ACC) target those rules, but also suggest industry and a second administrationās aims are much deeper. They are proposing administrative changes designed to cripple the EPAās ability to protect public health from chemicals like PFAS.
Trump is a toxic, forever chemical.
But, seriously, Itās like every stance they take has to be the most contrarian, harmful-to-society thing they can think of.
Whatās next? Ripping out all the new water pipes and putting the old, lead ones back in?
Itās all pro-business, heās doing this so some companies can make a quick buck while poisoning us all down the line.
This is the party of āgovernment so small you could drown it in a bathtubā, itās just a bit more openly two-faced now. If itās not useful in directly wielding power, or if itās costing rich people money, itās gotta go. If it can be used to benefit those in power, itās getting hardened.
Make America Lead Again isnāt just a slogan you knowā¦
Reminder that the US military leaks PFAS out their ass:

and probabaly wonāt be stopping any time soon:
Itās happening today, just like itās been happening for years.
Surely the people obsessed with every vaccine ingredient care deeply about this article, rightā¦ Right?
Second Trump term could boost toxic āforever chemicalsā
Is that how weāre calling trumpers these days?
you could pretty much just make a list of literally everything good and everything bad and say that, under trump, everything in the first column will go away and everything in the second column will exponentially increase
