Trump moves to strip protections for endangered and threatened species

The Trump administration moved on Wednesday to roll back Biden-era protections for endangered species and their habitats.

The Interior Department’s Fish and Wildlife Service and NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries Service proposed restoring rules from the first Trump administration that stripped safeguards for plants and animals threatened by human development and a warming planet.

Specifically, it lets economic factors be a main point when considering which endangered species merit protection under the longstanding environmental law. The two agencies also proposed to strip the so-called “blanket rule”, which extends endangered-level protections to species that are listed as “threatened” with extinction.

That blanket rule had been challenged in federal court by property rights groups, but that litigation had paused as the Trump administration rewrote the rule. The rule will now undergo a 30-day public comment period before it is finalized.

On the other hand they have left no doubt about who they are and who and what they support. If we manage to survive this administration there will be no question about the worthiness of the gop; they are totally immoral trash.

And yet he suffers no consequences. Instead, he lives in the lap of luxury and has for all his demonic existence. The only possible reason for him still being alive is Satan won't have him.

How much longer is he going to hang on? C'mon, Mother Nature, you know what to do.
