On health and its costs, Americans aren’t as divided as you think. 82% of Trump supporters want him tougher on polluters. 81% of all Americans say pollution’s costs are showing up on medical bills. EPA leaders think we want fewer protections. The country just said otherwise.

A serious chemical incident happens in the U.S. every two days. 177 million Americans live near high-risk facilities. The federal government is rolling back the rules that protect them. These rules exist because people already got hurt. They are the line that keeps us safe.

HFC regulations were just rolled back. the administration says it "won't impact the environment." Joe Goffman, former EPA official, says the real costs show up in your air, your health, and your wallet. We’re tracking these rollbacks closely. Follow us to stay up to date.

Protections on your drinking water are being quietly undone. Former EPA Director Dr. Betsy Southerland joined @zerlinamaxwell.bsky.social to explain why the EPA's rollback of 4 PFAS standards is concerning — and may be illegal. Standards exist because people got sick. Follow for updates.

Your tap water could contain toxic "forever chemicals" (PFAS). EPA leadership called PFAS a top priority, but they just delayed drinking water protections and reopened chemical standards. Families need enforceable protections right now, not corporate-driven delays.

EPA strengthened limits on ethylene oxide after finding serious risks for nearby communities. Now those safeguards are being reconsidered — without new science showing people are safe. Michelle Montoya, EPN’s Policy Director, explains why EPN is concerned.

Chemical accidents happen every year—putting communities at risk. EPA’s Risk Management Program helps prevent them. Weakening it puts workers and nearby communities in greater danger. We should be reducing risk—not increasing it. Americans want to be #SaferNotSicker

Besties, quick reality check! EPA says they’re absolutely cooking on PFAS protections… Twin, that’s CAP! The safeguards that keep these “forever chemicals” out of our water and food are actually getting rolled back. And if you ask us? That’s a flop. Respectfully, EPA, negative aura points.

EPN Executive Director, Michelle Roos, spoke with The Great Battlefield Podcast about the rollbacks and cuts happening at EPA and how they're impacting public health and the environment. Listen to her full interview here: buff.ly/Sjh8mLM

“Administrator Zeldin is living in a fantasy land.” Larry Weinstock testified that EPA’s repeal of the Endangerment Finding ignores science, law, & economics, costing lives, raising gas prices, and serving only polluters. Watch:

At today's EPA’s hearing, EPN’s Michelle Roos exposed Lee Zeldin’s flip-flop: ➡️ Once: climate change is real, cut fossil fuels. ➡️ Now: CO2 is “good,” science is “religion." Her warning: Zeldin is putting politics over public health.
