    Seems so. And it’s shocking that the media, libs the dems are so easy to distract. Here are some threads I started today…

    • Treasury Secretary Bessent, tapped to run CFPB (Consumer Financial Protection Bureau) - orders staff to halt work.

    • Republicans move to repeal lead limits imposed by Biden-era rules. US government would be prohibited from ever mandating lead pipe replacement or lowering lead limits in water.

    • EPA Tells More Than 1,000 They Could Be Fired “immediately”. An EPA spokeswoman said the goal was to create an “effective and efficient” federal work force.

    I really hate to say it but Steve Bannon was 100% right. Flooding the zone with shit works like a charm.

      This is just so…pointlessly evil. What is even the point of doing this beyond trying to make people suffer?

        Private companies are on the hook for it in places where parts of the water system are privatized.

          Ah ok, so it’s going to make sure that private companies can charge whatever they want to fix this problem with 0 oversight from the government. That sounds like standard procedure for them.

            Yep, there was the momentary threat of the hint of liability for them in Oct.

            For me, my pipes were tested at over 300× the new EPA limit but only was only tested because of Bidens updates despite almost 6 months of the city stalling previous to that.
