Announcing via Truth Social, President Trump has outlined his selection for Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency in term-2.
President Trump announced his intent to nominate former New York Congressman, Lee Zeldin, to the position.

Lee Zeldin is an attorney, and his announced nomination caught the DC proletariat off-guard. The announcement is an unusually prominent location in the line-up presentation given the generally obscure nature of the agency. Deregulation appears to be a significant agenda item in the T-2 administration.
Washington DC – […] The selection of Zeldin, a vocal Trump ally in Congress during his first term, was a surprise after Andrew Wheeler, who served as the second EPA chief during Trump’s first term, was widely thought to be the frontrunner for the post.
At EPA, Zeldin will carry out Trump’s energy and environmental agenda, which includes pulling back Biden-era rules on climate and air pollution and potentially rescinding millions of dollars in funding for clean energy under the Inflation Reduction Act. And the administration is expected to take a more aggressive stance in challenging California’s autonomy in enforcing environmental standards that are more stringent than those set by the federal government — many of which picked up as models for more than a dozen other blue states.
Trump and his adviser Elon Musk have also included the agency as a target in their calls to radically shrink the government bureaucracy — and potentially move many of the federal jobs out of Washington.
“Lee, with a very strong legal background, has been a true fighter for America First policies,” Trump said in a statement. “He will ensure fair and swift deregulatory decisions that will be enacted in a way to unleash the power of American businesses, while at the same time maintaining the highest environmental standards, including the cleanest air and water on the planet. He will set new standards on environmental review and maintenance, that will allow the United States to grow in a healthy and well-structured way.”
On X, Zeldin wrote that his selection to run EPA is an “honor.” (read more)
Great news! Replacing Green Nazi clowns with common sense. PDJT calls it “The Green New Scam”. Right he is again as usual.
He is a sharp guy and also had his win stolen.
They just stole Kari Lake’s win, AGAIN.
I hope Trump picks her for something.
She is genuinely MAGA and consistently MAGA.
What’s going on with her is pure evil.
Replace H. Dillon with Kari Lake.
Kari Lake would be better than Nome for Homeland Security.
Isn’t it strange that Trump wins AZ, but not Lake?? Feels like the mirror of 2020, when Rs rode Trump’s coat tails, but Trump was defeated (officially lol)
Not so fast on Kari Lake. I live in Arizona and reluctantly voted for her rather than the Democrat running against her. But I am NOT a fan and I do not trust her. I’m not the only one. She didn’t win because she wasn’t a good candidate, and subsequently didn’t get enough votes.
Over the past few months, Scott McMahon has uncovered a lot about what has been going on in Arizona, and my county specifically (Maricopa). You can follow him on X. Watch/listen here to his latest…
“ Trump and his adviser Elon Musk”
Stop the chemtrails or is that a state issue?
How about Kari Lake for press secretary? Watching her carve up the press pool would make for great entertainment.
My thoughts exactly.
Yep
Hopefully somewhere in this new administration as she is quick, bright and sharp. It does not take much to put these white house press people to shame.
It does not matter how many times PDJT emphasizes clean air and water, any roll-back of regulations is going to scare the heck out of some easily frightened people who have had it drilled into their heads from birth that they might be responsible for destroying the planet.
I think the presence of Nicole Shanahan on the new ‘team’ (and to a lesser extent, RFK Jr.) will serve as an important check and balance.
She truly understands water issues, and is not a woman who would sit back and watch while any necessary environmental safeguards were removed for financial reasons. She also would know the difference.
That’s something that always bothered me with Republicans, they seemed for the most part way too dismissive of any kind of environmental protections as unnecessary, and I’m old enough to know that we can’t take clean air and water for granted.
Water issues are overlooked by the general public too much. Migration of topsoil and erosion are major problems that have been addressed in the past but need more attention
I think RFK may have some safety input here.
Deregulation leads to a massive downsizing of the government bureaucracy. The agencies overstepped their bounds, it’s time to clean up the mess and make the legislature legislate.
T2 is a good nickname.
How about closing it down?
I don’t think it would be missed, as each state has their own EPA now.
