Summary

Trump's EPA is proposing to repeal the 2009 'Endangerment Finding' that designated CO₂ as a threat to human health, which has served as the legal basis for climate regulations including EV mandates and power plant rules. The administration claims this will save $54 billion annually and return power from federal bureaucrats to states and consumers, while critics warn it threatens climate protections.

🚨 TRUMP JUST WENT NUCLEAR ON THE GREEN NEW DEAL. The EPA is moving to repeal the legal foundation of climate regulation itself. $1 TRILLION in green tyranny—GONE. Lee Zeldin calls it the “largest deregulatory action in American history.” Here’s what it means 🧵

2/ Obama's EPA made up the “Endangerment Finding” in 2009. It claimed that CO₂ was a threat to human health. That one finding became the legal pretext for EVERYTHING: → EV mandates → Gas stove bans → Tailpipe regulations → Stupid airline rules → Power plant shutdowns

3/ Trump’s EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin just proposed ripping it out by the roots. He says the finding was: ❌ “Twisted science” ❌ “Legal overreach” ❌ “A trillion-dollar tax on working Americans” He’s right. This one rule gave the Left control over half the economy.

4/ What happens after the repeal goes through? ✅ $54 BILLION saved per year (federal) ✅ Climate mandates gone ✅ EV coercion reversed ✅ Power returned to states and consumers ✅ Major blow to globalist ESG rules In short: the death of a key Deep State power grab.

5/ Zeldin: “There are people who, in the name of 'climate change', are willing to bankrupt the country.” That’s not hyperbole. The Endangerment Finding let unelected bureaucrats wage war on energy, agriculture, and transportation—without ever passing a law.

6/ Of course, the climate cult is melting down. The Environmental Defense Fund is calling it an “existential threat.” You know what that means? The repeal is working.🔥

7/ This is Trump’s biggest kill shot yet against the Administrative State. It’s not just about climate. It’s about who governs: → Voters and their reps OR → Unelected bureaucrats hiding behind fake science and 14-year-old memos? rodmartin.org/p/elections-ha…
