President Fucktard Trump and Scott Pruitt, chief of the Environmental Protection Agency, want to destroy the environment. This stuff is from the New York Times.

New York Times - E.P.A. and Pruitt update

In last week’s newsletter we summed up why Scott Pruitt, chief of the Environmental Protection Agency, was under fire. (It’s a lot to absorb: ethics scandals over travel, housing, security and staff moves.) Despite the imbroglio, Mr. Pruitt, who has been on a roll in rolling back Obama-era regulations, ostensibly remains in favor with President Trump. A few updates since last week:

One of Mr. Pruitt’s top advisers, Samantha Dravis, resigned.

An internal E.P.A. assessment, obtained by two senators, said the justifications for extra security spending that were provided by Mr. Pruitt’s security team didn’t hold up.

We also published a story about how several E.P.A. officials who raised concerns about Mr. Pruitt’s spending have been reassigned or demoted, or requested new jobs. And another story about how Mr. Pruitt’s regulatory rollbacks, some of which have been hastily implemented, may not hold up in court.

Mr. Trump’s chief of staff, John F. Kelly, advised him to fire Mr. Pruitt, according to two officials. But Mr. Trump later tweeted: “Scott is doing a great job!”
