Trump's parting gift to Biden

 

Besides inciting insurrection, violence, and a coup against our elections and democracy, Trump has decided to cause even further damage to our government before he leaves.   “It will make it vastly harder for the agency to do its job of protecting public health and the environment. The damage will fall hardest on Black, Latinx and Indigenous communities who already bear disproportionate harms from environmental hazards in the air, water and soil.”   That’s Andrew Rosenberg, of the Union of Concerned Scientists, writing about Trump’s parting gift to Joe Biden -- a new rule that blocks the EPA from using rigorous scientific studies from now on.   As NPR reports, Joe Biden could undo the rule -- which will have disastrous consequences on the climate, the American people, and our future -- but “it would take months, if not years.”   Is that what the Biden-Harris presidency is going to be? Spending all their time undoing Trump’s damage just so we can get back to where we were before he took office -- just so another Republican can get in by arguing that Biden and Harris haven’t done enough?   That would be patently absurd and patently offensive, but it’s exactly what Trump wants and why his administration passed this rule.   Joe and Kamala don’t have too many allies in the outgoing administration; that’s for sure. But what they do have is you.   Please, give now to prove you see what the Republicans are doing to Biden and Harris on their way out the door. Give now to equip our progressive leaders with the resources they need to clean up Trump’s mess and then get to work on health care, economic relief, better wages and a better standing on the world stage. With your support, we can and will overcome Trump's many attempts at 11th-hour sabotage. Without it, we could be a sitting duck even after inauguration day.   Thanks for sticking in with us. Republicans would love it if we figured the fight was over just because Trump is leaving.   Let’s keep up the fight and not give them the satisfaction. The world will be a better place because of it -- and because of you.   Progressive Majority Progressive Majority PAC is leading the fight against Trump’s GOP and their dangerous and divisive agenda by supporting elected progressives, helping elect even more progressive Democrats to Congress, and protecting the gains we made in the past election.
