EPA moves to suspend more employees who signed letter of dissent against Trump admin policies

WASHINGTON—The House Committee on Oversight and Accountability held a hearing today titled, “Oversight of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.” Members exposed how the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Biden Administration has operated outside its rulemaking authority and implemented burdensome regulations and sweeping executive orders to advance President Biden’s radical environmental agenda and appease left-wing climate activists. During the hearing, members pressed EPA Administrator Michael Regan on the Administration’s record-shattering $1.6 trillion in estimated new federal regulatory costs and emphasized how American consumers and businesses are shouldering the financial burden across the country. The House Oversight Committee will continue to investigate waste, fraud, abuse, and mismanagement at the EPA to ensure accountability and transparency for the American people.

Key Takeaways:

Under the leadership of Administrator Michael Regan, the Biden Administration’s EPA has pushed massive, costly regulations to advance President Biden’s radical environmental agenda.

To date, EPA is responsible for over 80 percent of the Biden Administration’s record-shattering $1.6 trillion in new federal regulatory costs and Americans are paying the price.

The EPA is overreaching its environmental protection authorities extensively, flouting the limits the Supreme Court set upon them two years ago in West Virginia v. EPA and adopting statutory interpretations that will not pass muster under the Court’s recent decision in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo.

The Biden Administration must put the interests of the American people first, and not simply aim to appease well-organized, left-wing special interest groups and climate scaremongers.

Member Highlights:

Rep. Gary Palmer (R- Ala.) asked EPA Administrator Regan to provide reports to the Committee about its use of secretive “sue-and-settle” practices and implementation of burdensome regulations at the bidding of special interests.

They are not the only agency where the employees are always looking over their shoulder. Must be a great atmosphere to work in.

Notice that the biggest problems seem to be agencies staffed by scientists. Of course, they recognize that a president who recommends horse dewormer or suggests some sort of bleach treatment for COVID, is a fucking idiot.

And the anticipated Revenge Tour continues.

Federal employees DO NOT get to set US national or foreign policy. We have elected officials, like the President, who do that. A federal employee can personally disagree with those policies but cannot do so in any manner that clashes with their official position and duties. By signing a letter of dissent as federal employees, they directly challenged US national policy as set by the elected administration and President.

That is an action that can result in disciplinary action or firing. In this case, they were fired. That is long standing federal employment law and regulations.

So, if some greentards at the EPA don't like what Trump is doing, they can quit, they can complain outside of work individually without using their job title, etc., but they can't tell the President how to do his job or what national policy will be. They deserved to be fired, and fired they were. That others are getting a 14-day suspension is absolutely in line with federal employment regulations.

They're basically admitting they will refuse to do their jobs when they don't like a policy, as if they somehow are entitled to decide which policies they like and which ones they don't or something. Nobody is forcing them to work there, so they need to quit. Since they didn't, they get fired.
