I want oversight on the oversight also. But I do not want to let these assholes go free. Does a Senator or Representative looking at the files and speaking #violate their #legal #protections? Way above my legal pay grade without one of my assistants working on that.

“Acting Assistant Commissioner #PaulDunstan …He warned that police may be forced to arrest those who do not comply with move-on #orders.“

“Those who are planning to participate in the march are being warned, they do not have [regular #protest #protections],” Dunstan said on Friday.”

When War crimes, national leadership & rights collide.

#Trump admin seeks to roll back #protections for imperiled species & #habitat

Trump's admin moved Wednesday to roll back protections for imperiled species & the places they live, reviving a suite of changes to #EndangeredSpecies Act regulations from the Republican's first term that were blocked under Democratic President Joe #Biden.

#law #EnvironmentalLaw #ClimateCrisis
https://www.npr.org/2025/11/19/g-s1-98459/trump-administration-endangered-species-act-blanket-rule

The new definition would exclude #wetlands that abut or touch many intermittent #streams, which do not flow during dry periods. It also could exclude ephemeral streams, which sit dry for much of the year & fill up only after rainfall or snowmelt.

These changes could strip federal #protections from up to 55 million acres of wetlands, or about 85% of wetlands nationwide, according to the Natural Resources Defense Council, an environmental group.

#Trump #climate #wildlife #law #EnvironmentalLaw

The #Trump admin proposed Monday to significantly limit the EPA’s authority to limit #pollution in #wetlands, #rivers & other bodies of #water across the country.

The proposed rule could strip federal #protections from millions of acres of wetlands & #streams, potentially threatening sources of clean #DrinkingWater for millions of Americans.

In the name of government efficiency #DOGE, travel planners & expense processors were laid off, forcing the international inspectors to coordinate their own access, flights, hotels, & reimburse themselves. Many took early retirement, leaving at least 1 in 5 missing.

We're up to six deaths, now, from the listeria-laced food recalls. Dozens of hospitalizations, many more have gotten sick from it, but didn't know, because of similarity in symptoms.
Recalled foods listed in article. They are prepared pasta dishes from Trader Joes, Albertsons, Kroger, Giant Eagle, etc.

The #Pentagon removed key #protections for #defense #civilian workers & directed that managers move with “speed & conviction” to fire employees with “unacceptable” performance reviews last month, just a day before the #shutdown.

The new guidelines were outlined in a Sept 30 memo titled “Separation of Employees with Unacceptable Performance” that’s been circulating through the #DOD in the last week, spurring concern among the workforce.
