How can 1 person's EO wipe out what so many worked so long to create? Clean H2O Act

IIRC one beneficiary was a much cleaned up Chesapeake Bay

And rivers, lakes cleaned for safe, healthy fishing, swimming

There were long hard fought battles to gain something that is eliminated by the stroke of a pen wielded by the uncaring will of one man

A fucking lot.

I hope this time we don't have assholes that are claiming to be on our side today, fucking us over after the primary is decided. Even if the decision isn't elegant or perfect, when it's done and not revertible, GET THE FUCK BEHIND THE NOMINEE.
