In 2023, the US Supreme Court declared, contrary to established science and object permanence, that water ceases to exist when it goes underground and is therefore no longer subject to meddlesome environmental protections. Frothing lefties like Justice Brett Kavanaugh warned the decision was a recipe for widespread pollution. This week, President Donald Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency agreed … with the Supreme Court.

The EPA’s announcement on Wednesday that it would find the narrowest possible definition of the word “water” for regulatory purposes was just one of dozens of ways it plans to attack environmental protections during Trump’s second term in office. Supposedly meant to spark some sort of “Great American Comeback,” these actions would mainly bring back an era of poisoned skies and waters while hurting the very economy they’re supposed to help.
